B3ta is a strange place for me.
I started just by reading the board and occasionally posting. Luckily I did not make a total twat of myself to start with. (That came later!) It says I joined four years, seven months and twenty six days ago, but I know that I lurked for a long time before I joined. I think I found you because I got bored with Something awful, their humour was just too nice and then I found you all. Your levels of sickness fitted with my own and I felt at home almost. In truth it took me many years and a lot of surgery before I felt comfortable to be myself and yet here at B3ta, I felt like I fitted in. I found QOTW while bored one day, I have answered a few times and even came first once (it was a quiet week, I am not that talented) which made me feel proud in a way that a Blue Peter Badge never could.

I love the links board, I love QOTW, I am scared of Talk and I still check the board every now and again. I look through image challenge and make my votes for images that make me laugh, wince or horrify my partner! Strangely, I have a few Facebook friends from here and every one of them is wonderful. Yet I am still here, a shy, nervous person who would probably not be able to speak to you if I met you in person. I finally got a good job and I can now afford an Icon next to my name too.

What blows me away is the talent that many of you have. Some days I am compelled to drop some of you a line just to say how much you rocked my world that day. The worst thing I have ever done though was to print out the Christmas Cracker jokes and use them. No one else saw the funny side and the Cancer joke (what is black and eats cunts? Cervical Cancer!) was too much for some at dinner. It was both the funniest and worst Christmas dinner ever!

Thank you B3tards, you have raised my spirits when they are low and you made me laugh until tears have rolled down my cheeks. I cannot think of higher praise for a website full of CDC obsessed oddballs who are as sick as you. I love you all, but only in an internet way. Happy Tenth Birthday. Love from
