A Decade later...

[XERO]

Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of myself joining the Technodrome Forums.

I know there a few peeps here that's been here longer than me, but it's still a hell of a milestone. I've seen a lot of faces come and leave, and a lot of eras begin and end here. Even myself, once known as the unofficial "5th Ninja Turtle" for a while, change a bit. Mostly getting older, perhaps wiser, and definitely more sarcastic.

However, m love for this place hasn't changed. I've got too much history here, made too many friends, and shared so much of my thoughts with you all that I don't see myself going anywhere else. Such is the cycle of being a so-called "veteran": You stay with one group after awhile, you tend to keep coming back.

To Krang and Shredder, thank you both for allowing me to call this place "cyber-home". Thanks to the members for providing the spark that keeps this place intriguing. And to my closest friends here, thank you for being just what you are: family.

Who knows what's gonna happen in the future? As long as CM Punk becomes WWE champion again, I look forward to the next decade.

Congrats on your 10th year Anniversary Xero! It sure is a milestone. I do miss your 5th turtle Benvenuto persona it was really fun. But I'm really glad that you have stuck around along with so many others that as you said have become family.:)

[Lethal Lullaby]

Whoa. Awesomeness, XERO. :tparty: :thyper:
I hope I'll stay for as long as some of the people here have stayed. :D

Gratz, bro. One more year for me until I get the decade title.

[Machias Banshee]

Congrats, hun! :D Hard to believe you could get so attached to a lil floating blip in the vast internet-verse... but we've definitely got a good lil group of people here, with a dash of lunatics to make it interesting. :)

:mango: <3

[XERO]

Thank you guys. And Machi, you are so right. lol

Congrats on your decade here, Ben. Here's to another decade of awesomeness from you. You've been an awesome person to talk to, and even though you shed your Benvenuto persona, you still elected to stay around. That takes dedication even in tough times.

Big milestone for any forum. I regret dropping out of the TMNT fandom for so long as I've been a fan since 89 and on the internet since 93 or 94. I've wasted so much time :P

Here's to 10 more!

XERO and Benvenuto are the same person? The things you miss while you've been away.

[XERO]

lol, yeah. 2 years ago, I shed my 5th Turtle character and started posting basically as myself. Figured it was time to hang up the shell.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Wish I would've joined back then, oh well. Grats on the milestone dude, very cool to be a member of this or any forum community for so long

Heresy! Now there's another fifth turtle prancing about these forums! He should be the sixth, at least! If we do not honor or predecessors, then we fail as a society! To arms! FOR VENGEANCE!

Also, congrats, man.

[XERO]

Don't ever change, man.
