Knight's pick 01-24-2012

[Nathon Detroit]

I almsot missed this one from yesterday.

Mr. 5020 talks about TOL's 15th anniversary. :up:

Lets celebrate TOL's 15th year online.

Wow. I've been a member here for over 9 years. It's been an fun ride.

- What are some of your favorite TOL memories?

- Enyart vs. Zakath Battle Royale
- lovemeorhateme's conversion
- Poly's "this is Freak arguing about a tree" post (still makes me laugh)

I'm sure there are tons more.

- What are your hopes and expectations for the next 15 years on TOL?

My consistent participation, and the return of Turbo.

- What TOL members have affected your experience on TOL (for good or bad)

Knight & Turbo: I'm now an Open Theist, and both of them have talked to me outside of TOL in some low points of my life.
Lucky: In TOL, and outside of TOL, I don't know that I respect anybody more than I do him.
Town Heretic: Makes me feel dumb. I read his posts for humility.
MaryContrary: Gave me some great advice about the female gender. I have an amazing, ridiculously pretty girlfriend now. Can't help but give her some credit for it.
fool: The only atheist I've wanted to hang out with.

- What has TOL meant to you?

I've been posting here since I was in my teens, and now I'm nearing 30. During my early years, I was probably somebody that Knight would rather have banned that dealt with. TOL has challenged me intellectually over and over again. It has made me a better thinker, and made me learn to communicate those thoughts. I owe this site a lot.

Please feel to add any random thoughts about TOL on it's 15th year anniversary.

Thanks to the moderators for their patience with me in years past. I hope my current and future participation helps to make up for it.

:first:
