Hello Offtopic!
And Happy User Appreciation Day!
Today is the day where we look upon offtopic as a family, where we gather together, as a united community. Today we look to each other with smiles and laughs. Today, we thank each user for how much they’ve done for us.
Please, make yourself comfortable! Drinks are over there at the concession stand if you need any, served by our good ol’ Cell-3 from Asterisk!
Anyways, onwards to the main points.
I want to thank you all, for making my life brighter and happier. You guys are weird, funny, whacky, nice, serious, cool, and badass. Every day I always take a peek in offtopic to see what’s brewing. Offtopic has made me a happier robot! Thank you all!
As for the users... I tried making a list, but there’s just way too many of you. Like seriously. You guys are all cool to me. The posters, lurkers, literally who’s, repliers, mythic members, b.old members, all of you. You guys are awesome in your own unique way! Some of you make me laugh, some of you make me smile, but all of you make me a happier person. Keep the uniqueness up!
I want to give a special thanks to the lurkers, literally who’s, and quality posters out there who aren’t easily recognized. If you’re reading this, know that you guys keep offtopic alive! Y’all are some of the most valuable members, and I hope I get to know y’all better. You are appreciated by many of us, and I say Thank You to all the unrecognized users out there!
As for my compliments and thanks, as long as you comment on this thread, I will respond with a compliment of how you are valuable to me. I appreciate you all, so have at it! Even if you’re a lurker, feel free to reply!
If you guys have prepared lists, I still would like you to thank the underrated users who keep offtopic alive. I must say, I’m excited to see what y’all have cooked up!
Now, you must be asking yourself: What about the people who are bant?
No problem. Pm me and I’ll give you a compliment. We can’t forget the banned now, can we?
Shoutouts:
Shout out to Forsaken for giving offtopic another lively user!
Verminator says hello to you all! He’s currently bant, but he greets you all with excitement!
Happy Birthday to Shattered Mind! And Phoenix 007!
And now, before I let you guys go and greet each other like the family you are, I wanna give a very special thanks to the user that has greeted me with open arms and deserves more recognition:
The First Aifos.
Now, I’m not saying that he’s the only user I like. I like you all. Trust me. But this little Aifos holds a special place in my heart. I look forward to his posts. He was one of the first users I met here on b.net. He was willing to hear my ideas. And now, if it weren’t for him, I don’t think I would have the confidence to post my first post in #gaming. Thank you, Aifos! For giving me the confidence to post, being a badass user, and being a creative mind!
The bar is also open for anyone who desires heavier drinks, and it’s run by my Ventris system self.
Once again, I thank you all! Have a fantastic day! And take a moment to appreciate the users around you and if you’d like, tell us why you love offtopic!
Also, if you see anyone who isn’t in the mood to thank offtopic, be sure to compliment them too ;)!

8 RepliesI have been trying to come up with an awesome way to say thanks to the users I spend a lot of quality time with on here and to also let you likers and you lurkers know you are appreciated. Sadly, I could not come up with something awesome. All I could come up with was to tell you that I tried. That doesn't mean anything besides you are all too awesome for wordy words. Thank you all, each and every one of you for you time, your participation and your urge to tap your screen or keyboard like crazy people!! I have one special shout out that I do want to send though. Tim Fibo, I think you are a hell of a person. You stay cool and you just want a good conversation. I truly respect that and I want you to know that it is noticed. Keep doing what you are doing man!

4 RepliesThis was never the reason I came, nor the reason I’ll stay, but The Flood does make for some great reading material. Shoutout to Cobravert for keeping it real and I’mhereto help for some awesome weekend polls and great beer. For the ones who politely engage in intellectual discourse, I thank you. For the ones with a “thing”, tread lightly. Only a couple can pull it off, and those are the consistent ones. For the ones with their fiction writing, [spoiler]#Gallery[/spoiler] For the ones who seek to profit off of others’ outrage, I have no respect for you. And for the ones who “like” this post, stop. We want to hear what you have to say. Speak up and make threads about what’s on your mind, even if it might be lame. It sure as hell beats dust and echoes.

3 RepliesThanks to everyone here who has filled my 3 years here with laughs, intrigue, salt, and tears. At the end of the day this is my favorite online community, the first one I discovered and seriously used, and the one I keep coming back to. I'd like to thank Bungie and all the awesome mods for providing and maintaining this social space. Sometimes we complain and sometimes we troll, but you still help us all come together here. Thank you. To every user past and present: thanks for making this place what it is. I'm not going to make a list of users cuz I don't want to imply that one of you is better. Also, I'm lazy. And making such a list of everyone, past and present, would just be too long. I love you all.

1 Reply“When Offtopic sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending Zoob. They’re not sending Bobcast. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing shitposts. They’re bringing bait. They’re arrogant. And some, I assume, used to enjoy those booty threads.”

2 RepliesGonna be busy today and possibly without internet tonight so I'm gonna pop in real quick and thank the writers of stories that fill Offtopic with creativity, the memers of memes that fill Offtopic with laughter and groans, and special shout out to everyone in general for always being there for eachother at our lowest moments. That alone makes this place awesome. You're all -blam!-ing awesome! Kthxbai

3 RepliesEdited by Bit__Trip: 7/15/2018 2:54:35 AMI remember the first time I went on off topic when I bought D1 a month after it came out, and I immediately knew this was my kinda place. This is an awesome community and I appreciate everyone here. Off topic really grows on you, I've always been off and on with how frequent I am on here, but I always come back. It's an amazing place.

6 RepliesEdited by LiftedElf235165: 7/14/2018 2:34:56 PMTo all members of our dysfunctional family called Offtopic, thank you. For the times of laughter, crying, rage, and joy, often at the same time as well. I am very appreciative of everyone here, so should we use this post for the memory of everyone who is no longer with us? My memory is terrible, so please help me with whoever I miss. -God -Out of Touch -Slim Slimy "does this count?" -Mad Max

7 RepliesWell, here goes. I wanna thank everyone for all the good memories and making me feel like there were other sorta/really Weird people out there. But, I have a bigger thanks to the people who have tried to help me with my depression. And especially the researcher, for attempting to help even with me constantly telling him not too.
