EricaAmbler, now what a first class prick he was. I'd completely forgotten about him.
Funny how he scared a few members away, only to scare himself away in the end. Bullies are like that.
Met a lot of wonderful people I'm happy to still see as regulars today, and formed some genuinely strong connections that you wouldn't expect to with just names behind avatars.
This forum has always been a great space to connect with people and share our views on all this Bond and all things not, and the variety of discussion as well as the variety of fans has been of real value to me. There's always something to talk about, and we have ardent fans of all Bonds, all eras and all ages that give a lot of great context to the books, movies, games, and all other things Bond branded and how they've developed over time. Discussions here have made me look at movies or actors in different ways, usually favorably, and it's been a treat to be told that something I shared about a movie or actor's portrayal helped someone see more value in it than they did at first. This is what these kinds of environments are all about: sharing new perspectives and shedding light on things that may remain in the shadows for others, shining more attention on things you believe have merit.
I appreciate everyone that has and still remains to make this place what it is, particularly the folks that I've been close with from the very beginning (or near to it) and who I can't help but think of when this place comes to mind: @Creasy47, @4EverBonded, @PropertyOfALady, @DarthDimi, @Murdock, @Thunderfinger, @chrisisall, @Sandy, @QBranch, @Master_Dahark, @CraigMooreOHMSS, @StirredNotShaken, @CommanderRoss, @thelivingroyale, @peter, @DaltonCraig007 and the ones we've lost like @SirHenryLeeChaChing and @barryt007. You have all made this place worth coming back to, and it's been a pleasure to know you all deeper beyond the discussion threads. Cheers!
My good friend, congrats on the 11th and thank you for the kind words. Here's to many more years on the forum!
But really, no love for my predecessor @OBranch? He thought the world of you, but I guess that is not enough. No wonder he went off the rails and got himself banned.
Like that time I used your office computer to do some...private browsing...
Or that time you didn't report me for "borrowing" the prototype sports car you had intended for 006...
And we can't forget the time I went into your workshop and rearranged all your tools so that you had to spend that entire weekend sorting them again...
Or the time I told you I needed your help going undercover on an important mission to spy on a target stationed near my house, just to trick you into doing my yard work for me...
And the prank calls, oh, the many prank calls during your crunch hours (you were always such a good sport about them, though!)...
@Thunderfinger, fair point, but this thread was buried pages in and I just saw it again while browsing. Timing has never been my strong suit, anyway. Certainly one of the things Bond and I share.
This made me laugh. (Not the reply to me, but to @QBranch .)
"...so @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 said that it was his 11th anniversary, but before he could finish his senteance, the rest of MI6 Community raced for the bar to the get their orders in."
Happy anniversary, here's to the next 11.
Happy anniversary, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7!
Does this mean you're all going to beat each other up at the casino door? :P
It shouldn't come to that, but if it did....well, it's the circle of life, after all.
That's right, @QBranch. It was me...the author of all your headache-inducing, mildly funny but also severely traumatic pain. >:)
In all seriousness, here's to 11 years, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, and hopefully another 11 from you. You joined just two days after I did so we both did some growing up and learning and meeting new folks at virtually the exact same time together. Those were the days.
11 years later and now we're awaiting what the next era holds. It's crazy how time flies.
I believe @M_Balje and @NicNac joined even sooner than that.
Hopefully you can say the same in another 17 years then!
Yes, one of our longest serving members and irreplaceable in my book.
That picture, and you along with it, are seared into all my memories of this place. It wouldn't be the same without you, mate, and I thank you for all the years of fun and frivolous discussions on every topic under the sun, as well as all the private messages of care and support we've exchanged since the start. You have and always will be one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back, and it's been a pleasure getting to know you so well over all this time.
Keep telling yourself that, @DarthDimi. We've all loved you too much to let you know that literally every post you've made since around 2014 has said nothing but, "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES DIMI A DULL BOY," over and over and over again. Now that the cat's out of the bag, I feel as if a thousand ton weight has been lifted off my back.
It's just like living at Schloss Drache.
