Yeah, you all know what this is about. And if you don't then look at the posts. It'd caught my eye that I was getting close a few posts back and I found myself watching it like I watch the clock at work and now that it's come I feel compelled to say something. As the title says, I wasn't originally going to say something like this, but I've deemed it necessary. So, onto my thoughts.

When I originally started posting here (2004) I didn't really have much intention on sticking around. If I did I'd probably have chosen a bit better of a name than "Cryptic Excretions." But this place has an effect on you and I felt it hard to just not post. I also recall posting a lot of really uneducated questions. Not that they were stupid, just that I didn't know my material at the time. And I find it quite amazing how far I've come. I've still got a lot of ground to cover, but compared to then I think I'm at least on the right track. I owe that to a lot of the people here and I think the most gratitude goes to one person in specific (no name dropping, don't believe in it) for his especially good experience in proctology and removing heads from asses. My upmost gratitude goes to all here. Every person here kicks ass so here's to you. You're all what makes the guitartricks forum what it is. And I deem this a fit place to end this.

Welcome to the club, brah.


May you never look at your post count, do a quick bit of mental calculations and think of all the other things you could have done with that time.

You think you're bad?

I probably have at least 15,000 posts racked up between all of the boards I'm on or have been on (not counting this one).

1000? I thought it was tough just getting to 200...


And I was wondering how to change my name cause like Cryptic I didnt think I would get so involved in this site. I didnt wanna have to sacrifice my 200 posts that I worked hard to get though...

It would be hard remembering who was who. I have a feeling Jolly would be masquerading as a new person each time he logged on!

I dunno. The main reason I've decided against changing names is that I'm known by my stupid name here. After a while of knowing someone by a certain name it seems unheard of to call them something else and I get the vibe that it applies to me too... oh well, this is what I get for just pulling something out of my back side.

Aww, thats touching. \

Its just a screen name really, its not really that important. Maybe I say that because I use this screen name for everything, but that works out for me. Plus, if you guys changed your names, i'd be confused.

Well, if I recall correctly I started off trying to excrete but it wouldn't budge so I had to break it loose and give it a tug so it'd start budging. From that point on it was solid excretion.

ha, you think you've got a bad screen name? man, I joined about a week after getting my first guitar, came on these boards, asked a newbie question, got an answer from leedogg I think... didn't come back for a few months... finally came back a couple months ago, and have been here ever since, but, still have that name that I picked a year ago... but anyways, congrats on getting to 1,000, I'll be there soon too at the rate I've been posting... lol
