Wow, I can hardly believe it...five years have come and gone.

I started out pretty much like a lot of other members - with a blank profile, no posts, no blogs - just a 'black hole" that needed to be filled in.:P

Little by little, as I learned my way around, I began to add to my profile - an About Me comment here, a game rating there. I really have to give a lot of credit to the great members who took their time to post answers to help threads. I learned a lot just from reading what the veteran members had to share.

I also learned a lot by reading the Levelling Guide, the HTML & BBCode Guide, and the Emblem Guide. A tip of the hat to all who took part in writing those threads.

What was really a joy was seeing our site admins (Jody, Synthia, and Dracula) taking time out of their busy schedules to notice a member's blog. Jody gave me quite a surprise once when she featured a gameplay video I made on one of her shows.

And now they have chosen me to be a Gamespot Ranger. I have had a lot of good experiences here at Gamespot, and I'm certain they will continue. I'm certainly glad that I chose to make an account here, and I've never regretted that decision.
