Hi and Welcome everyone to one very special Pakhair's Blog. As the title states today is a very special day, Today is my GS anniversary or you can say Birthday :). To be honest I thought a lot about this blog and truly a lot, I was very confused and unclear about what to write. This blog took me days to complete, You won't believe it took quite some days of planning and 20 pages of writing (in my copy) in effort to make this simple blog. I was very confused between a few ideas, Such as "My Top 15 Games of all time", "My most memorable moments on GS", "My Last year and it's problems in my Life", "My Last year on GS", "My 3 most Awesome and Worst Moments on GS" and or a "Thank You" Blog. In the end; I trimmed a lot of stuff and came up with a neat, Long and Simple Blog :D.
First of all thanks to all of my friends on GS, GS is a special place because of you and No doubt is an essential part of my life although a lot of great people (My Friends) have vanished from the site but still I'm glad to have you people.
As my Profile Avatar shows that I created my ID on Feb 05, 2006 but I'm active on this site since October 2008 and since that moment my life is quite different. Before GS I was a GT (Game Trailers) user and prior to that a gaming nerd or noob. I also used some other sites too but believe me There's no place like home on Internet except GS, It has a wonderful and lovable community. The people on GS are very friendly and the interface is quite easy to learn, I rememberthose days when I spent 8+ hours daily on GS but now the time is quite shrink, Now GS feels as an exercise to me not as fun as before. Many great users and my friends have left the site or are inactive. And also I'm quite busy nowadays, Some other problems here and there too, Overall life is quite messy and problematic. Nowadays I don't use Internet as much as before, I check gaming updates twice a week and friend's blogs once or twice a week. Whenever I've spare time I prefer to be on MSN over GS. Where I can chat with my friends, Which makes me happy. If anyone of you who hasn't added me on MSN can add me now on "pakhair@live.com"and we can have the fun.
About the things happening in my life............Well that's a story for some other time, Which might get published in my blog, So Let's move on with the blog.
PEOPLE WHO WERE ONCE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY SURVIVAL ON GS
SOULREAVERCROSS = When I was a noob on GS. I knew very few things here, This girl "Paris" helped me a lot in understanding things around on GS.
JODYR = When I was new Jody helped me in a few things and still to this date I ask her for help if I have any trouble regarding GS Community. Whenever I ask her something, She nicely replies me although the replies are a little late but we couldn't forget, She's GS Community Manager, So she's hell lot of busy. I'm very thankful to her that she got time out of her busy schedule and helped me.
MJCOWLEY = MJ is the man responsible for making me stay on GS, I was paranoid of breaking GS TOU Policy and this man helped me a lot in order to avoid Moderation's and in the end He was successful and because of him I'm on GS today, Thanks MJ.
SOPHIA = Last but not the least Sophia Tong, She's my emblem person. Whenever I've any problem regarding emblems, I count on Sophia and she never let's me down. I often contact her other times too, If any problem because She replies quickly and believe me She's the most social Admin amongst all GS team.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE EITHER LEFT, INACTIVE OR HAVE BEEN BANNED
SOULREAVERCROSS = I talked to her a lot once but now we barely talk. She was very friendly and nice person but then she decided that she's going to decrease her activity on GS because of her busy schedule in life. She still posts blogs sometimes and does some other activity too but not as much as old days.
COMBATSOLDIER = Sgt.Sulemon was a great man although many users on GS thought he was an automated user, Well in short he got banned and then never tried to contact me again.
NAPPAN = Nicholas is one of the finest men I ever found in my life. He had brilliant opinions and I loved his ideas and ways of seeing life. We talked a lot through PM's, He was very straight forward, So he got moderated a lot, He was fed of GS TOU Policy and so do I am. Well he got banned and never contacted me again. I never asked for E-Mail from him but I copied a E-mail from his about me section, I contacted him on that ID a few times but he never replied.
SMR-VENOM = Well I didn't knew him a lot but we both were from same nation, So we talked a few times about some specific things regarding to our cultural tastes and also shared some opinions on movies. He was also banned and in my opinion he was a unique person for me on GS.
DINKYFISH = I saved the best for the last, Gillian was the most nicest and sweetest person I ever found on web. Many of you may know her, Her avatar was a cute panda flipping upside down again and again. She was one of the first users to ever track me back, I mean she was one of the first friends I had on GS and she made the first comment on my first GS blog. I really liked talking to her via PMs and everything was going in a good flow until Dec 14th, On that day she vanished from the GS & BEBO and since then hasn't logged into any of her profile. She's not even replying to any E-mails, I wonder what happened, I'm quite worried and I pray that she's alright.

NOW THANKS TO ALL OF YOU (ACTIVE USERS)
Now Thanks again to all of you, Who are still here with me (on GS). I wanted to thank all of you in detail but due to blog's length and my laziness it wouldn't be possible. So I'll only highlight a few people
HIGHLITED PEOPLE
DAVID_LCK = Lee David is the man guys, My only remaining great friend and perhaps one of the best. Online friends don't stay for too long but David is one of the friends I don't wanna loose. It's always easy to say anything to you david, You never mind on anything and you always show interest in what I'm saying, THANKS david for a being such a great friend.
MS.ALLIE = Allison or Mina is one awesome and yet strange personality. One can say or discuss anything with her as she always listen but there is one problem, She never shows interest in what one is saying and she gets offended very easily. I guess she's like that but still she's one wonderful friend to have, Thanks Mina for always listening to me.
BENLESLI5 = Although I don't know Ben that much but Ben is an interesting person to talk to and He always show keen interest in what one is saying. Thanks Ben.
SHADOW VARI = Vari is one brilliant personality to talk to although I haven't talked to him in a while. Vari always has a lot to say and I also respect his opinion regarding games.
Artemios = Although I don't know a lot about Artemios but he seems like a polite and nice guy. He has stopped blogging because nobody commented in his blogs but I always found his blogs quite entertaining. Thanks Artemios.
Bigd575 = I don't know much about him but he's one of the oldest users I remember and one of the first to comment in my blog but that's not the most special thing about him, The best thing is he's the only one on GS to ask me: "How I'm doing?" in my blogs. Thanks Bigd575 (Name = Unknown)
Mitu123 = Tim is one fine user, I always want to talk to him but he doesn't has MSN or Facebook :( :cry::
He's always descriptive, reads my blogs fully, gives detail in comments, Always reply to what has been asked and Is always interested in what I've to say. Thanks Tim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR OTHERS
As said before due to my laziness, I'll only only highlight some people, Don't think I differentiate or I don't care about you people, It's only that we haven't talked that much. AND If we haven't today, Doesn't mean We can't tomorrow ;) and I apologize on my behalf if I offended any of you in any way :)
These are the people without whom my GS journey wouldn't have been possible, THANKS
