15 years ago today, a 15 year old me registered at TPM!! I still remember it like it was yesterday... its weird, in some ways it seems like yesterday and some ways it seems like it has been forever. I know I don't post here a ton these days, but this place has always been and always will be my online home... haha and to think that when I registered I had no real intention of staying... I was just looking for a way to find Heracross in Pokemon Gold...and TPM was the first result in whatever I used as Google back then... yahoo maybe? So... yeah I figured I would get my answer and be on my way... but something about this place... I couldn't forget about it! And I am so glad that I did come back!! I never would have dreamt that an online community would be such an important part of my life... I would do anything to spend a day as 15 year old me again on one of the crazy days on the GS Help forum. You all have meant so much to me, and to all of my old TPM friends that I don't know what happened to you... I hope that somehow, someday you read this, and know how special you are to me, I think of you guys all the time, and I hope that life has been wonderful for you and I hope you come back and say hi!! And to everyone else here... thanks!! Whether we are close friends or barely know each other, you are all part of this wonderful community that always has and always will hold a special place in my heart!! I hope that somehow, someway, and I have been important to this place too, I hope that I made it better!! It's funny to think... sometimes the best things in life... just happen, without trying. Haha Its weird November 6th is like my own little holiday... oh and happy anniversary to you to, Suzie/little_pikachu!! And... here's to 15 more years at TPM... November 6, 2030! On second thought... let's not think that far ahead... I really will be old then!
