A MAD Birthday Toast

I'll keep this short but extravagantly sweet.

After just recently posting my 1000th post thread, the majority of which reading like an e-love in of epically pathetic proportions, I found it difficult to "find the right words" for a MAD birthday toast. I suppose rather than blather about my own personal involvement in the community, the true purpose of this post is to acknowledge everyone else and every morsel of effort that has been pumped into this little place.

In an age when we're told, perhaps all too often, that we as humans are connected in such a breadth of communicative mediums, it's a truly wonderful feeling to actually become apart of this "revolution". As much as I express my disdain toward the torrent of "THE INTERNET MACHINE: Could it catch on!?" style journalism floating around at the moment (especially with the relatively recent boom of new media, or web 2.0), the opportunity to chat, discuss, share ideas, debate and flame with the few dedicated members of this superniche (Yeah, I went there) forum is, in no uncertain terms, something I hold dear and appreciate every day that it struggles onward.

No matter how often I take out my anger, misguided e-ego or frustration on my fellow members, the very fact that I have the opportunity to do so is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Those who deserve our thanks and admiration should receive all the fuzzy praise we can muster, along with those of us who remain determined to keep this baby alive. MAD Studios is a gift to be cherished, whether it's by posting overly long discussions of its brilliance, discussing U.S. foreign policy, insulting Rush Hour, contributing our own thoughts and ideas or simply by bothering to post at all.

I thankyou all.

EDIT: I'd just like to include this transcript as a true example of how far MAD has come in the past 2 years. (My favorite posts are highlighted)

Wonderful. Everything anyone could have wanted in a birthday post. Your use of words left me literally speechless. You're absolutely right.

Did you search for those or save them over the years?

Either way, truly epic.
Guess what! I'm writing a book called Nuclear Winter!

Again, I thankyou all.
Incidentally, I was searching "MAD Studios" in Google at school and somehow happened upon that ancient thread and I couldn't resist adding it to the speech.
Cheers guys.
