Nine Years

Nine years ago today I joined a little site known as The Bionicle Zone - little did I know that it would affect my life in so many ways.
Shortly after joining I became one of the first few moderators, thanks to my activity in the Promotions and other forums. I helped get the RPG Forum started and have been running that ever since. I became a Reporter, a Global Moderator, and finally, an Admin. I was even really inactive for a while, like one of those staff members that's still lurking around but doesn't do much. I rarely ventured out of the few forums I was assigned, and relatively few people knew who I was. Now I pretty much run things - it's been a crazy ride, and had you told me this would happen nine years ago... I probably would have believed you, considering I had already been a part of other communities for over four years (that's thirteen years now 
) and been a staff member before too.
On the other hand, if you had told me that I would have made so many lasting friendships, been invited to two weddings, traveled around the country to hang out with people from this website and to play with LEGO, I probably wouldn't have believed that. Had you told me I'd be a LEGO Ambassador, have visited LEGO US HQ (twice), and be friends with LEGO employees, I would have told you to pinch me so I could wake up from this totally crazy dream.
It's been a crazy nine years, and while I haven't loved every minute of it, I don't think I would have traded it for anything.
