EN World means great discussion of D&D and roleplaying in general with a friendly community of fun, enthusiastic people, and we owe it all to a little newsfreak lo these many years ago.

EN World has been as much a part of my gaming habits as my gaming itself.
So... thanks, EN

What ENWorld Means To Me:
I've been a member of a fair number of online communities in the twelve or so years since I've been online, starting way back in the BBS days. Some of them were decent, some of them not so much. I can say without hesitation that ENWorld is far more than simply decent; ENWorld is simply a wonderful place. I know this with certainty, because six years after I started reading the original website, I'm still here. Now I feel old, thanks Eric! I'm pretty sure I haven't been part of a group that long in real life, let alone online. Even without having a group for many years, through the personal chaos of life, ENWorld has been something of a safe port in a storm for me. It has been, and is, a place where, even though I haven't been able to play in some years, I can still very much enjoy my hobby. For me, and for many other people as well, to stick around here that long, to form a community that has endured through thick and thin, and most of all to believe in it... well, I think that is the textbook definition of a legacy, and most of us would be very lucky indeed to have something half as successful, welcoming, and mostly rational as ENWorld be our legacy. I firmly believe that there are not many places, online or offline, where something like this gift would happen, it speaks volumes of what you've started. Anyway, I guess the only thing left to do is prostrate (complete with "r") myself in front of you and beg for your favor. Er... okay, no. However, what I will do in lieu of that is thank you, sincerely, for kicking things off, even if you never had any intention of it growing this big, or reaching this point in time at all. So thank you, Eric, and I hope that life treats you as well as you've treated us, because you definitely deserve it. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

ENWorld is the place I come when I want to hang around with a group that's as weird as I am. Gaming is great, and the stuff you can find here is top-notch, but that's not all there is. It's the place that got me into Buffy and Veronica Mars, and the place where I found some people who mock Robert Jordan as much as I do. The Grandma rule means I don't spend half my time rolling my eyes at posts, the way I have on other sites. It's cozy and warm, the Shire of the Internet.

I don't post often, but I lurk and read. ENWorld is the reason I tried 3rd Edition D&D. This is where I come to learn about what is new and what is good. This community is where I can relax and enjoy reading. ENWorld is, as my wife said, "the Shire of the Internet."

ENWorld gave me back a hobby I'd loved and forgotten, and that would have been enough for my heartfelt gratitude. It's also given me a helluva place to hang out and some great people to hang with.
