Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 4920002" data-attributes="member: 426">Thank you for ten yearsThanks to  Eric Noah, Morrus, and everyone past and present who has worked hard to make EN World a thriving online community.I remember first finding this site, and using the information to convince a skeptical DM and gaming group that it might be worthwhile to check out Third Edition.  It was in no small part of what I found here that caused my old group to make the transition from 2E to 3E.I remember the excitement over the articles, and the threads.  I remember the play by post games, such as Edena of Neith's Industrial Revolution.  Indeed, my avatar was designed by Creamsteak, a player in the Third IR, who has become an important part of this community.I also remember the ENNIES at Gen Con, including the year Morrus showed up and took the Hot Italian Beef photo with Morrus.  (I was the fellow passing out the name badges, and a few of the people at the booths thought I knew all the moderators and the admins and asked me to relay messages.)Many years later, when I left my old group due to dissatisfaction with it, EN World became one of my ways to stay in touch with the gaming community.  I found other groups, and have gamed since then.At the moment, I am finishing my first full year in Phoenix, Arizona, and have not really gamed much -- except for an occassional D&D Gameday event. However, I am sure that down the road I will look for a group.  Chances are that I will start here, at what has become not just my favorite gaming site on the internet but one of my favorite sites on the internet.There is a wealth of talented people here -- artists, programmers, and story tellers.  This is a remarkable community.Community.  Yes, I know that some will say that it is hard to call a website a community -- many of us have never met and likely never will meet.  Yet, we have celebrated milestones -- such as the births of children.  We have mourned many of our own and I remember Angelsboi, Chairman Kaga, and others who are celebrating this anniversary with us in spirit.Yes, we have debated and argued on many points of gaming and other topics.  We can be an argumentative group, but there is a sense that at the end, most of us will respect and even like one another.In the past ten years, I have seen many changes -- both in gaming and in my own life.  Here is to the next ten years for EN World!  Good gaming!</blockquote>
