Hi Yrag, there's one toe you wouldn't want to suck on, or maybe not?

My favorite moments were (in no particular order):

- Discovering this site in the first place
- Finding out that skinning was a bundle of fun wrapped in puppies and gum drops
- Getting promoted
- When yrag held me oh so close in his warm arms

Knowing the folks at WC.
Looking at my profile and discovering I'm an apprentice.
Trying to figure out what I'm an apprentice too.
Knowing the folks at the Fantasyland thread and being a citizen of the Chocolate planet.

Hmmm, most memorable moments.

I would have to say making that first skin, even though it was terrible.
Getting together and making that WC-03 wallpaper(almost time for 04).
Hanging out, getting help, and chatting with the likes of I.R., Pic, Koasati, Jafo, IP,
Essencay, EH, CJD, and many more.
Getting that promotion to Apprentice Way Cool
Passing the 100,000 mark! Getting ready to crack 200,000.
Watching Jafo and the admins wrangle that wascally wabbit UzEE.
Making skins for the GUI Contest and teaming up with I.R., Pic, OS, Cross, MT. It was great fun.
Starting Skinartistry and the Workshop. Thanks to the admins.
Reading about yrag and china, and her fonts.
All that and more, not bad for a year
Can't forget all the master skinners out there for the inspiration, Thanks!!

Yep, that the one
We started that one the second week of August, last year.
Maybe we can get another one done this year.

Two items to add....

Thanks to SpyderByte for starting this thread, reminds me of a Highschool Yearbook, without the pics, except one

and a special thanks to the unsung hero of the WC Help Messageboard...Koasati, for all his help there as well as his hosting of the Skinnerz Gallery, which btw should be the number one link under the community menu, since that is what we are all a part of

Good point Essencay. It definitely should be there.

Memorable Moments?

Finding, no, ...stumbling onto this site.
Joining the site.
Interacting with a whole mess of folks who are dedicated to their habit/hobby/work.
Buying the goodies, and getting to fiddle with them, even though I don't understand some of them yet.
Helping out wherever I can (admittedly this is limited, but where I can, I will )
Talking to some wonderful folks in #stardock irc.
Teaching Ess how to say Aussies .
Watching all the shennanigans that bubble up from time to time.
Learning to appreciate the work of all the great skinners/artists out there.

...and oh, so much more!

And kudo's to Brad, T-man, and mods/admins for keeping it all smooth and worry free.

I love this place!

Err.. lemme think, I suppose it's MY turn.

In no particular order.

1. Finding WC [ok, cheesy, but hey, WC is a nice receptacle for a reject like me]
2. Lauging at Nuvem's idea of a "minimal wall pack" because any ONE of the walls IN that pack are 150% MORE complex than anything I've ever tackled lol..
3. Having 3,777 debates with Jafo - because it's helped me "reform" somewhat. Thanks Jafo baby!
4. Getting an e-mail from BoXXi one day saying I was promoted!
5. Hitting the 50,000 download mark. Ok... that may not seem like much to master skinners here, but I remember doing a little happy-jig when I hit 5,000 so adding ANOTHER zero made me act like a kid in a candy store.
6. Watching people at WC bind together last X-mas for the subscription drive - was pleasant to see a "community effort" at work and reassuring to know it still exists, somewhere.
7. Discovering the WC message boards because it gives fools like me means to kill 15-20 minutes when I'm dead-bored at any given time on any given day. [which happens most times and most days]
8. errr, ya know? I'll have to ponder the remaining two because I just ran out.. ack!

Ok.. I feel it's important for ME to mention that seeing Green Armani back in the galleries makes me happy because I wondered for ages what happened to him. Nice to see him back! I guess that's my number 8.

As far as a thanks for starting this thread none necessary..

I was just curious to see what others had been "up to" in the last year - things they remember well - things they're most proud of, etc!

Every day on WC is a memorable moment on its own - a new day, a new drama
