I found this Great Forum on April 11th, 2008.
I forgot what I was looking for that got me here in the first place.
At that moment, I "Leech from DotSIS" as were entitled to my profile back then ( I'm glad I'm a NewBie now, although I cannot be proud of it, being a "New Kid on DotSIS Block" )
Well, if any MOD, HELPER, GFX or Imp. PERSON read the title of my thread, they must be curious to find out what I was trying to say ( I hope they're not furious )

So, here's the punchline: I'm in love with DotSIS, But my Internet connection is soooo slow.

Here's my "bed-time" story:
Since April I've been a dormant member, I only came back to this Forum every once in a while when I need an app or game or just info (Back then I had to go to a CyberCafe to Surf the Internet), but since last June I had my own Internet Connection at my shop, so I can DotSIS more often, I was excited first, but then I soon realize that my Internet connection is so eFfing slow ( Pardon my language ) , So, My excitement suddenly dropped as if I drank a glass of milk (???). But I kept on going..

The more time I spent here the more I fell in love with this Forum, so I decided to gave something back to the Forum, And so I did, I tried to help other members a few times (eventhough my slow internet connection really gets in my way).
I've been trying to lend a hand as fast I possibly could, but one day, I slipped because I tried too hard to be fast. it happened at this thread: http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/showthread.php?t=104165 (Please try NOT to read it)

I was so embarrassed. But being a more Advanced Member, mr.freestyle thanked me after I apologize to everyone, I was so relieved and promised not to let it happen again. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/emonizer/em1/hammered2.gif (http://emoticonizer.info) That was My First Ever Mistake. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/emonizer/em7/embarrassed.png (http://emoticonizer.info)
To my surprise I got 1 Rep Power because I Rep+ mr.freestyle. Hooray.. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/bounce014.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)
From that moment on, I thank almost every post that I agree with (even if it was only a comment).

I'm pretty curious, why so many people post any thanks without using http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/blueworld/buttons/post_thanks.gif or http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/blueworld/buttons/reputation.gif buttons?
Maybe (Just maybe) they wanted to increase their post-count just so they can elevate their member status or something.

In my personal opinion, using the http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/blueworld/buttons/post_thanks.gif or http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/blueworld/buttons/reputation.gif buttons doesn't make me less popular than anyone else, it will only grant me respect from other members (this is purely just my humble opinion).

OK.. I've said enough about that, let's change the topic to another one of my firsts experience here, I'm pretty proud of this one:
My First Ever Max Rep+, This one came from a more Advanced Member: http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/member.php?u=365382~razorbladeII~ (Edit: Since 600K's Celebration the name is ~razor~)
It happened here: http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/showthread.php?t=105979 ( For this one U have my permission to read it :D )
It's just a co-incidence that I like to make WAV for my own ringtones (It was posted at the wrong section btw) I'll never forget ~razorbladeII~ for that Rep+.

My First Friend Ever in this forum: EmmaFS
I read EmmaFS's eBook, I'm impressed with her passion to contribute something to the Forum. (I believe that passion of hers is something every new member should have for this beloved Forum).

So.. Back to my Slow Internet Connection http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/emonizer/em7/dumb.png (http://emoticonizer.info)
I have another experience because of this matter, it happened here: http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/showthread.php?t=92716 ( Please try NOT to read it again )
When I started writing my post, Xenophile's post wasn't there. But I was stunned when I finished posting my reply and redirected to the page. Another embarrassment on my behalf. I PM Xenophile my apology (In fear that I've offended him), Xenophile wisely said that He's not offended in anyway. Pheew.. I was relieved (..again..).

I can't help to notice how many posts, Rep Powers, and Rep Points of the Expert Members of this Forum have. I envy them.. I'll probably reach 1000 posts at the same time as the next millenium's celebration due to my slow Internet Connection ( If I'm not already a fossil by then :D )

Finally, Here's the result of the Marathon of Surfing the Internet that I organize myself.
Any MODs, HELPERs, GFXs, and Imp.PERSONs are not eligible for this contest :D :

Champion : The Turtle
Runner-up : The Rabbit
2nd Runner-up: simplicity168 <-- That's me http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/laughing014.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)


How long did it take for U to read my post? :)
I made it a long post so I don't have to make many useless posts of my pretty embarrassing moments.
Sorry to all. I love DotSIS, And Thank U for the so many MODs, HELPERs, GFXs & Imp.PERSONs in DotSIS.
I Salute U All.
