Wow, I've been on vizzed (as a registered member) for almost 3 years... I'm not surprised I made it this long but I am surprised at how much I've accomplished in these past few years. I never even made a newbie introduction thread so I thought I'd pretty much make one here as well as everything else I have to say. I'll be celebrating my 3 year anniversary today with a posting spree since I'll be busy in the next few days and I don't want to forget.

How I found this site: Back when I played a ton of Super Mario Bros. hacks, I searched for one called Super Mario Bros. Pocket Edition, and vizzed was the first result that came up. So I clicked on it and I was impressed with the site right away. For the next few years I played games on vizzed as a guest. Then I realized I should register so I could get rid of those ads Once I registered I finally discovered the forums after only using the RGR for 3 years. I was 12 years old and wasn't social here back then. I just created threads and reviews for games so I could become a Member instead of a Newbie.

But after that, I started posting more and made some friends through it. You'll find out more about that later in the post

How much I've accomplished: I've accomplished a lot during my time here, more than I ever thought I was capable of. I made lots of friends and made over 6,000 posts. I was surprised enough and hyper enough when I became trusted, and I almost went nuts when I became staff XD It took me less than a year to become trusted, and less than 2 years later become staff.

Shoutouts to friends!:

mohammedroxx3 : You're one of the first friends I've had on vizzed, the first friend I wanted to talk to often (since as I said above, I wasn't really social when I first joined). Your posting sprees encouraged me to keep posting more and more, and eventually we started having a funny rivalry But then I skyrocketed past you when we were competing in our first Tour de Vizzed in the July 2013 one. We joined the TdV during the craziest one ever! You also encouraged me to try harder to be an outstanding member here, and it's because of your help that I became the member I am today Good luck in college, I hope to still see you online when you have the time!

Barathemos : We met sometime after I met Mohammed. You also competed in the July 2013 TdV and I got to know you more then because of seeing so many posts of yours. We've had fun times in various forums together Enjoy your last year of high school even though you're busy!

tgags123 : I first saw you during the July 2013 TdV but I didn't get to know you until our first VCS, the September one (also in 2013 XD). We posted in a lot of the same threads in the past. Now you don't post as much anymore but that's OK.

Razor-987 : I met you through a couple reviews of mine, since you gave me feedback on them. I have continued improving my reviews I got to know you during a posting competition as well XD (the July 2013 TdV).

greenluigi : I came to know you through the forums too, but we began talking often outside of the forums, and you were one of the first people to ask me to make them a layout We've bonded over our many shared interests in certain Mario games.

NintendoFanKimmy : I met you sometime after I met your cousin Green We began to know each other better when you sent me a PM on Easter when I was sick and miserable. You cheered me up and helped my day improve! Now we talk often and summon each other to our threads from time to time (if we both don't forget) XD Your very positive attitude has inspired me

A user of this : We became friends because of our sense of humor and our interest in Mario games! I've always enjoyed reading your posts and a lot of them make me laugh!

Eniitan : We became friends not that long ago since I had talked to you once in a while previously, and you told me that we should start being friends You have gone through a lot in your life and you've been an inspiration to me to be grateful for life!

GamingN00B : We became friends sometime after I became a trusted member. I remember getting downrated for spamming shortly after becoming trusted and you helped me get back up to 5 TP, which made me motivated to post better.

juuldude : I got to know you from the days you were posting like crazy, and always replying to me in your threads. Your threads made it easy for us to get to know each other!

EideticMemory : We met when you had an M&M username (3 jerseys and a rainbow banner) XD You were an amazing member from the start and I was impressed at your huge dedication to the site, even when you were starting college! I was sad to see you step down from staff and leave but it was probably the right choice. I'm assuming you had many other priorities in life, which I can understand. Hopefully you can at least stop in and say hi sometime

ZeroTails : We met through the forums, back when you and I both competed for the blue jersey. I always laughed when you would Comet Chat me a hi or something random, especially since it was every day we were online You've always been a fun person to talk to on here!

Yuna1000 : We met pretty recently, from rating each other's screenshots and having the same staff role. You have been an amazing staff member and I've seen your passion for God, which I need to see more of in my surroundings. I don't know a lot of people that have that (especially in school) so I'm grateful to know some that do! You have made an insane amount of CP already, I've been here 3 years and have only over half the CP you do

Thank you's: I'd like to thank the following people

-Davideo7 and tRIUNE for all that you've done to add content to the site and improve it, and for being great bosses for me during the time that I've been staff!
-My fellow staff members for voting for me to be staff, supporting me when I have been staff, working hard to contribute to the site, and inspiring me to work very hard on the site while I still can
-My friends for making me feel welcomed and appreciated. I probably would have barely posted if it wasn't for you all keeping me going and giving me more to come here for!

I'm hoping to be here for another 3 years! I plan on being here until I start college.

Congrats on 3 years, bro! You sure have come a long way! And, I was the first user to ask you to make me a layout, not one of the first users. I completely remember that moment :3. I, just like you, found the site when I searched for a game online, and Vizzed was one of the top results. Hope life is doing well, and hope you stay for many more years to come! 

greenluigi : Thanks! Yes I've definitely come a long way! I didn't even expected to become trusted until a year after I did.

Oh wow, we both found vizzed the same way. Maybe you told me that before and I forgot, but either way that's cool!

Congrats, Pac ! 

Thanks for the thanks, heheh . It's nice to hear when you're appreciated! I want you to know, though, that we're all nice to you because of how nice YOU are to everyone, haha! When I appreciate someone (at least in real life, because I haven't been on enough recently for it to show here), I try to make it clear to them that I appreciate it VERY MUCH so others try to be like them, too . I just want you to know that we all think you're super cool all the time, even though we don't say it all the time xP. Thanks for being one of the nicer, more upbeat members on Vizzed ! Lots of people say I have a positive attitude, and that may be, but I certainly wouldn't be like this if it weren't for the positive influences like you I've had throughout the past while ! Keep it up!

Again, congrats on three years! Let's make sure your next three years on this site are memorable ! Question, though - are you ever coming back here after college? 

greenluigi : Heheh, all them underlined words make it sound like you're angry .

NintendoFanKimmy : Lol, I was angry . Just kidding. I was just reminding him, lol.

I totally remember that point when I was going for Blue X3. If that didn't happen, I doubt we'd be friends now . Nowadays, I barely post 5 times a day as it is XP, so no Blue jersey day for me coming anytime soon, I guess.

3 years is a lot :o. My first anniversary is coming in a month and a half, so yay? X3.

You've been a great friend to me, and here's to a 4 year anniversary, and maybe 5 :o. #Pac4Veteran2017

Congratulations on being here for three years! That's really awesome! I still have to reach the three years, Mudkip's secretly jealous.

You really are a beneficial member here. Actively posting around, earning CP and helping out in the Retro/Video Game Room. I appreciate it and keep it up!

NintendoFanKimmy : Thanks for the congrats and you're welcome for the thanks! I appreciate the kind words! I wouldn't be the way I am if it wasn't for positive influences around me either

I'll try to make the next 3 years 3 times more memorable than the first! I'm hoping to make them more memorable for the other users I interact with as well I really don't know if I'll be able to come back to vizzed after college, it depends on how busy I am with a job and hopefully serving in a church and/or a youth group. I'll probably remember this site often while I'm in college so don't worry about me forgetting. I think I'm going to write notes to myself on paper and on the computer reminding me of the site to make sure I don't forget! XD

ZeroTails : I'm looking forward to your first anniversary! I had no idea it was that soon, time is too quick #ZeroTails4Veteran2019 Being a veteran would be so exciting. I've always looked up to the people who have been able to dedicate 5+ years of their life to vizzed so I'd feel amazing if I did the same.

TornadoMudkip : I'll try my best to keep it up or else I will feel the wrath of the ban hammer, thank you!

Hey, congrats pac! And thanks for those words
At first I felt bad about getting less active but nowadays I don't mind that much, I focus a bit more on school and sports now, and I'm also playing games more than I did at first, which is useful since I'm a game reviewer here. I see you're still active, and you're still doing great as a staff member, so keep that up! Have a great anniversary!

juuldude : No problem, I really wanted to say some kind words to some of the users that have made my time here so much better. I've also been focusing more on school lately since it keeps getting busier and more demanding.

I'm definitely going to keep giving it my all to be a great staff member, I was actually getting desperate to help this site out and this role means the world to me! Plus it's making me reach milestones I never thought I would reach within 3 years, such as 20K CP and 1,000 screenshots.

Congrats on such a milestone!

Three years sure are a lot, specially for someone your age. Many things can happen, but you stood still and remained loyal to Vizzed, which at the end benefited you with a staff position. You're doing a great work, the staff is proud to have you aboard, and I'm sure you will stick to the position for a long time. 

I hope you stay around for many more years to come! Just two more will make you a veteran, but not let that be the last milestone you get!

Even though I wasn't summoned, I'd like to congratulate you on 3 years being on this site. I hope that your next few years will be just as exciting as when you first joined the staff.

Congratulations, Pac! 3 years is a long time! Longer than most users here now. Hopefully you'll stick around a few more years. I also hope you'll stick around through college too.

But three years strong, and still one of the biggest posters and contributors. That's a huge accomplishment! Give yourself a pat on the back.

Congratulations on staying a member for so long. This is certainly not a feat that every user can easily attain. I commend you for your dedication as both a member, and a friend. It's funny because I am also fast approaching my three year mark as well. Thank you for your kind words, I vividly remember getting to know you better through the TDV, and also by commenting on your reviews. It's funny how such little things like this have the power to unify and create friendships between new people. 

Nonetheless, I'm glad that I got the chance to meet and know you. I hope that you will continue to savor your time on vizzed, and stay for many more years to come. 

2 threads, no summons..
*thinks he's becoming a third or fourth wheel*

Lol congrats on becoming a member for 3 years, I'll be there #Soon Enough.

Great accomplishment and I love hearing stories of how users came across the site and what made them decide to become active

EX Palen : I hopefully won't let it be my last milestone unless I have to

gamerforlifeforever2 : I think they will be just as exciting as now, since I plan on being staff for quite a while longer (probably until next summer when I might have a summer job)!

A user of this : *pats back* I wouldn't say I'm one of the biggest contributors, there are many users that do way more than I ever could.

Razor-987 : It's been nice getting to know you as well.

Davideo7 : Thanks! I enjoy hearing those stories as well, they encourage me to keep up my work and contributions here.

Wow, 3 years and still going strong! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary, PacmanandMariofan! XD I still remember the day we met, and you were as kind back then as you are now to this little newbie. When you became Site Staff, I knew for sure right then that I had joined a wonderful team. You already did so much even before you became Site Staff so I’m sure you’ll continue to do even more amazing things for Vizzed! =) May you continue to place your faith in God and may God continue to bless you! We hope you will continue to give it your all to give God the glory he deserves! Wishing you the best of luck with school, and (at least!) another 3 awesome years at Vizzed! XD

Oh wow dude, you hit the 3 year mark, but I can't believe you didn't summon me, which means we aren't friends anymore. *sobs*

You sure did a ton of stuff during your time here, especially post wise and guess what? Just many hundreds of more days and you're going to be a veteran!

Yuna1000 : It is a wonderful team A lot of us know each other and do our jobs very well when we have the time!

Thanks, I pray that you'll be able to have faith in God and be blessed by Him as well! School is going well right now, your good luck wish worked

zanderlex : Sorry I forgot to summon you. At least I'm summoning you to the thread in this post! XD
