I'm a little late, but that doesn't diminish the significance of the milestone for me. I've been here for 4 years!

Unfortunately, this thread won't be nearly as mushy as my 3 year one (lol). I'll save all the long paragraphs, heartfelt thank-you's, and whatever else I'm inspired to do for the 5 year thread, which is only 359 days away (it's still too early to call me old, kids!)!

That said, it's worth taking the time to mention the people who have truly had a lasting impact on my life (in a positive way). Whether it's been through rough times, deep conversations, consistently being there for me, a ton of great laughs, or being the shoulder to cry on, you (those summoned secretly) have made my life so much better, and I'll never be able to thank you enough for it.


If you weren't summoned, it's not because I don't love you (because I probably do). The people I summoned are the ones who had the most direct impact on my life, and the most meaningful, but that doesn't detract from the amazing time I've had with the rest of you. Vizzed is great because the community is great, and Vizzed is meaningful because the community invests back into itself with the goal of bettering its members. Never forget that we are all better when all of us truly invest in each other.

Sincerely, thank you all.

Man, it's been a crazy ride so far. I actually thought you were older on here (no offense you look young )

Anyway, I always love hanging out with you in chat or on MC or wherever really. We've had a ton of great fun and memorable moments and a lot of good conversations. You're one of the only people on here I've really opened up to and talked with about my personal life and I have mad respect for you <3 (Still need to teach me how to secretly summon people!!!! ) 


Now, does this name change signify a new era of merf? 
Kind of reminds me of when I had mine changed.

merf : Wow, happy 4 years on here dude! It's been awesome to talk to you. We definitely have catching up to do. I totally didn't notice the name change until now. That's awesome!

Happy 4 years of merfing! May you merf many more years, good sir!

Hey,

merf : Guess what day it is! Er...what day it was a few days ago. Your anniversary! Totally not wishing another dude a happy anniversary though, because awkward. But yeah this reminds me that my anniversary passed without me knowing. #TooOldToRemember

But yeah, it's been awesome knowing you these few years man, and I still find it hilarious how we met (more or less. We had probably spoken before technically). That test to see who could answer the most questions about you correctly without having any way to know most of the answers beforehand. Lol Still weird how that turned out.

Anyway, it's good to see you around man, you're undeniably one of the best merfing things about the site (but I still refuse to say you're more awesome than me), and it just wouldn't have been the merfing same being on here with no merf around.

Congratz on 4 years. How does it feel to have this anniversary contain your changed username in it? Also, do you plan to stick around vizzed for many years to come?

Hi mrfe

We're still friends by the way since we were besties and we're still besties and all

Happy thing and stuff

Happy 4 year anniversary! I'm that random newbie you decided to welcome in her newbie thread one day. Do you remember me ? I mean you probably do considering I'm Local now but I don't remember much interaction between us except for the newbie thread xp. Either way, I'm eagerly awaiting The gushy 5th anniversary thread lel.

That makes 21 summons. There have been 7 replies to your thread, including this one. 21/7 = 3. Portal 3 confirmed.

You have made a positive influence on this world with your puns and your funs and other things that rhyme with that. Keep it up, merf!

Happy 4 years on the site! Nice, there's someone that does hidden summons XD Thank you for all that you've done for vizzed as a staff member and former local and global. Keep up the great work and having a great time here!

I see that you're celebrating with a username change

Furret : I feel a lot older than that as well, lol. I've been on Vizzed as long as I've been able to use a computer regularly, almost. It was one of the first sites I frequented, and feels like it's been part of my life forever.

The respect is mutual, man. It's definitely an honor to say "I'm friends with Furret", and honestly friends like you (and the others I summoned) are why I've stuck around this long.

A user of this : I changed it about 15 minutes before starting on this thread, lol, so don't feel bad about noticing the name change (it wasn't there to notice). xD

You're definitely someone I consider a great friend on here, and I always enjoy chatting with you. Thanks for being an awesome friend!

Heh, the perils of getting old, important dates go by without you remembering. We're just three days apart, so you'd think one of us would remember, but I suppose that's yet another thing we have in common.

Happy Anniversary! (it's not weird because you're basically an older me)

I honestly don't remember how we got into that conversation, lol, my memory picks up after we're already comparing comparisons. I just remember running around my room, looking for things that were kinda uniqueish (like brown walls) that you probably wouldn't also have, while hoping that you did so it'd be another thing we could connect over. You're someone I've always held a great deal of respect for, whether it's been through your example as a mod, your insight into struggles in my life, or your input into my spiritual life, you've had a lasting positive impact on my life that I'm grateful for.

gamerforlifeforever : Thanks! I feel like the username change has been a long time coming, lol. I'd say at least 70% of people already called me merf, so the change is pretty natural. I definitely do plan to stick around for quite a while, and I see my activity going up a bit here in the next couple months that I'll hopefully be able to sustain. Life's going by so fast that it's hard to balance everything, but Vizzed has always been a priority, and I'm jumping it up a few more spots.
(btw I totally noticed your change as well)

yoshirulez! : Thanks!

ZeeTee : Thanks!!!!!! Of course I remember you, lol! We mostly just chatted in chat here and there, not too much on threads on the boards, but you're hard to forget. xD

supernerd117 : "Portal 3 confirmed" About time! xD

Hey, I had great motivation! Try as I might, I don't know that I'll ever out-pun you (unfortunately). Thanks!

Pacman+Mariofan : Thanks! I learned that little trick from a certain zebra a while ago, and it's come in handy quite a few times lol. It's been a pleasure to serve Vizzed as a staff member for just over 2 years, and as a mod for just over 2 years as well. Thanks for your time serving too, Vizzed scored when they hired you!

Yep, felt like it was about time lol (despite the 260,000 Viz cost). I see you've got a little bit of one as well, hopefully I won't fail summon you too many times. xD
