The first step to loving others is loving yourself. Just saying.
Which is why I'm forever alone.
Nothing wrong with "loving yourself" once in a while.
Umm...that's what she said.
With that aside, my love goes to Vulpes Abnocto.
Back in 2010 when I "accidentally" stumbled upon the temp, I was looking for a guide on how to get YSMenu to work on my R4. Sure enough, I did find a nice little guide by triassic911, and I was on my way. I became a bit curious with the site, though, and I stayed a little longer. I registered on multiple forums before, and I left mainly because the mods were crap. They expressed favoritism towards some of the members (I wasn't one of their favorites, but I sure as hell know I wasn't on their shitlist). When I started to lurk on the forums, however, I saw many of the members making useful contributions, instead of inciting a flamewar, and mods actually closing unnecessary/useless threads before they derailed or turned into grounds for flamewars. I immediately realized I might be able to stay for a couple weeks; however, I never thought of creating an account. I really didn't know why I held off joining the forum, I really don't. Maybe it was because I am quite shy, but oh well. I continued to lurk, and so I remained as a shadow in the crowd.
While I checked on the EOF, I read some of the threads (and the hilarious comments made by Vulpes and the community). He is the most active mod I've ever seen, and in the EOF he would never fail to make me smile. His presence was excellence itself. The EOF is fun and games, but when things go too far, these topics would be closed, which I respect from the moderator I admire. In other threads, again, I would see helpful contributions from the community and from the staff, but I would never see anyone as knowledgeable as the members of this community. I was impressed. One part of me wanted to join and (hopefully) be a part of the community, while the other was holding me back...
Well, one year later, I finally registered an account on the temp, Hydreigon. I was very reluctant to post at first, but I eventually did, starting with my introduction. I gradually opened up to the community, and began posting on the forums (and the EOF). I was very happy that I joined, and I still am glad that I joined 3 months ago. Looking back now, I think the reason behind joining the temp was main due to my inspiration of Vulpes Abnocto.
I aspire to be just like you (someday...), and I would really like to thank you. You were the first person on the temp that I really knew, even though no one may know me personally. You inspired me to join, when I thought otherwise. Most importantly, you inspired me to be myself.
