Four years later...

*XERO* · 03-06-2007, 11:43 AM

Hey, peeps.

I just now realized that my four year anniversary of being a member here has passed by. Can't believed I totally forgot about it.

It's really crazy how much time has passed by.

I know most of you guys know how inactive I've been this past year, stepping in and out to post a few. Long gone are the days where I was constantly stuffing 5th Turtle preachings down your throats. Real life has been catching up to me and I haven't the time I desire to post. Add the fact that I don't have a computer to call my own makes for a challenge for me to even be here more often.

But still, 4 years I've hung around. 4 years I've been through a lot of ups and downs here. I've made best friends here, half whom are MIA or chose to depart, most who are just like me and are too busy to chat.

But I'm still here, whether you like it or not, I don't care. I seem to have made some kind of mark on this forum, and I'm proud that I haven't changed much besides being more wise, patient, and understanding to other members' opinions. Exceptions to those statements, nothing else has changed.

I'm still Benvenuto. I still love you guys to death. And I plan on staying here as long as I can type.

So, I just want to say thanks to all of you for being there for me, and allowing me to be there for you.

Will I ever return to my previous status? We'll see. I may be the Undisputed, but now the REAL game begins.

It wouldn't be the same around here without you.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-13-2007, 11:47 PM

So ben, I never really got a chance to talk with you yet but explain this 5th turtle thing you have and you seem to support this new turtle and I guess you made it up.

*Buslady* · 03-14-2007, 12:23 AM

Yay! We love Bennyboy! I think I've been here 3 years or so...4 in oct...oh yeah i think i joined on my bday in '03 hahahaah

*Cascadia* · 03-14-2007, 01:57 AM

I joined slightly before Ben did....right after the 2k3 premiere. And a few weeks after my b-day. When I joined, my typing was screwy that I misspelled Scientific.

*Spitfire* · 03-15-2007, 01:51 AM

And quite a poster you have been! Glad your here Ben.

I've been here 3 years this month! I didn't notice before I saw your topic.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-16-2007, 05:14 PM

Hey Ben, you mus thave ignored me i asked you a question about who you are.

*Mecha Cow* · 03-16-2007, 05:22 PM

You like Jackie Chan, so you are cool.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-17-2007, 03:19 AM

huh? who u talking to?

Now ben, can you explain to me waht exactly is this 5th turtle fad you made up? Your a big konami fan eh.

*Katie* · 03-17-2007, 08:01 AM

Hey, Logic.....

you need to learn to be a little patient. Ben Does not post as often as he used to because he has RL things going on..job..etc. He likely has not seen your original post.

but, if you need to know about Benvenuto, the 5th turtle....you could go into the archives and look in the fanworks section for "Benvenuto Quickies" There's alot of stories Ben wrote there about the 5th turtle.
