AndyGanteks Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) .. it's just my forum birthday today. I've been here for 3 years up til now. So... a bit about me and a bit more in the past 3 years... I've lurked for Action Replay Max cheats for San Andreas via internet back in June 2005, when i came across Jordan's site - planetgta.com and gtasanandreas.net! Then i found about gtaforums.com via a link posted in the news section on one of these sites. Later i joined this board, but that was the first time i visited a forum in my life and i had a 56k internet connection. I remember my first post was actually a report of a post from 2003(or maybe a bit earlier) in the GTA4 forum. The post was from Forty, who was a moderator back then, in GTA 4 wishlist topic. He and a few others( can't remember who, may have been Dalpura, Opius and Barguast..) explained to me a bit of how forums work, and well, then i started posting regullarly around GTA related boards in 2005 and 2006, and acted well can't say noobish, but can't say i was much helpfull either... bad grammar and other things, but you can't go back to history, can't you ? From unexplained reasons i missed the Community part of the forums and Public Gang chat in these two years i've spent. Lurking away from the area with new kids(aka noobs) i went to General Chat and PGC right in the day they(PGC) closed, so i almost don't remember anything from it, nor that i backuped anything from these topics when it was noted that it will be deleted. Then i started posting in other areas of the community chat, got to know people, and made my first milestone topic exactly 1 year ago(although not meant to be in the beggining) ! We all remember Small Orange Cockroach™ (not one but many) that flooded my house at that time. Well it entered a PS2 as well, so i decided to make a topic asking for help. I didn't really know the topic would have twists and turns in the search for the solution of my problem. Twists and turns you may ask, what does that mean? Well, i've been rejected by a girlfriend ( classic 07 topics) and then went in crying like a baby on an internet forum( in the SOC topic). At the very end of the topic, it turned out as a milestone aniversary as i've hit 1000 posts in 2 years exactly on 3. June 2005. Link to the Cockroach milestone post. So like in the previous milestone post here's a MS Paint edited random picture for you all... Now... after the Cockroach topic, i became so...Cocky... and though the whole forum is mine, that i can post everything and anything. I didn't get verbal warnings for using offensive words sometimes and for being a troll, but i got banned in late August ( worst month in my life officially, due to some other bad stuff from real life in past 2 Augusts 06&07 as well as the ban on the forum). I recived a PM from someone Serbian(some guy who claimed to know me in real-life), who never ever showed up again on GTAF, named T Rex, telling me that we should start a serbian GTA forum. He never responded to my return PM and never came back, so something in my stupid brain told me that i have to make one myself... Taking time to copy and link some of the guides from GTAF i probably forgot to put a who did this guide somewhere in the text of those topics, or the one who reported me didn't know to read Serbian, so i got banned by STM afterwards. Getting luckily unbanned, i slowly started improving and getting more into helpfulness then trolling. In late November, i've installed SA-MP, and found about the GTANET server where the boys from this forum play. Thus a new era began. I've enjoyed every single moment of SA-MP and met a bunch of people from the forums who i never knew before, and even solved conflicts from the past with some. Forums weren't that much of an interest to me except the SA-MP crew and multiplayer topics in the end of last year, so i though, how about making my own gang who will get into the new PGC when it opens in April! Thus i created Balkan Mafija™, and invited a few people in. Berkley was one of the guys who got in, then flied to LCF. Also JCV, one of the greek guys from SA-MP, then a guy named Lycanthrope, who retired from GTAF when he got banned, but i still had him in MSN in January 08,i even think Turtle wanted to join this, now former gang. Realising it will fail, i never opened a topic at GTAF about it... ..well, not really never, i've opened it up, and gained a feedback from some guys, but that was not enough and it had to be closed. SA-MP days were slowly over and GTA IV was on horizon. Unhappy that i won't be able to get it before August i fell into a depression or something, because i really wanted that box with that Bly-ray disc in it, and a PS3. Not being able to get it automaticly meant i won't have anything to do at GTAF after 28th April and the final SA-MP meet, where we had a great time. But then a new gang rised, a gang named The Yardies. It was one of the first gangs in the newly (re)born Multiplayer/PGC. Having a few of the old LCF crew before i came in and some guys i knew from SAMP, i joined in and started meeting some of them a bit better. From the day i joined up The Yardies, until now this is the only real place i hang at GTAF and it will stay like that until i aquirre my GTA IV.( not counting when i sometimes come to General chat for special occasions or in Sports area). Big love to the Yardie crew . Also, huge love to All the moderators/admins of GTAF, and Tom(STM) who let me back in. Luckily to me you( and others) returned me back to this forum, and gave me a chance to prove i'm not a ripping retarded bastard or however people called me in BUSTED version 1 topic in the days i was banned. As for a (longer) respect list, you can read it here on my site( i'm just too lazy to copy paste, center, bold the text, etc to GTAF). If you are not mentioned there don't worry, i'll type a bit here too. Besides the Y crew and the staff, i also love chatting in with footy desk lads, Tarker boys, Old SAMP crew from back then... i love you all...even though you all probably hate me. So cheers and salutes to you all, until the next milestone, next big event in my life, next year anniversary, next wave of COCKroaches, next...something <3 Edited June 3, 2008 by AndySerb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyGrenadeFrenzy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thank you Andy Serb, I really do appreciate you as well. Insanity and being accused of it is a compliment from the likes of me and you are not what I call the opposite of this which is several nouns, adjectives, verbs and other things that at best can be called negative things to say about people. In other words, I think you are great just the way you are! The greeks claimed that sanity was not something you were born with and you had to earn it by passing through the realm on insanity to find sanity on the other side of it.....Thus, I commend you on your journey fair traveller. I hope you acheive that far realm of sanity that so many of us search for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
