Gunslingers,
I have the proud privilege to announce a truly fantastic milestone for the Gunslingers. As of today, March 30, 2011, we have over 2,011 members!
It feels like only yesterday when we were jokingly giving our friend, KaminoChiizu, some grief in the GS Chat for always stopping by but not "officially" being a member because he hadn't got around to registering an account in the GS Forums. In fact, that was on October 5th, 2009. He became our 200th member. In a little less than a year and a half later, we can celebrate a milestone entirely unpredictable. I ask all of you to give toast to all the great new members we have gotten in the last seven days that propelled us past the 2,000 member mark:
I am humbled by not just these 56 greenhorn Gunslingers for choosing to join our ranks in just the last seven days, but I am deeply thankful for all of you believing in our group enough to continue coming back, keep adding to the backbone of a goal to provide a home for all of us older gamers, and, most importantly, for appreciating the friendly welcomes enough to keep paying it forward to new members.
Thank you all for making the Gunslingers what I continue to recruit us as. Sure, I can say all the nice things in the world in various recruiting threads across a pantheon of game developer forums, but if it wasn't for all your cognitive discussion to keep putting meaning in my words, they would be just words.
Thank you to the Gunslingers staff. They have volunteered their time to help keep our community on track, leading by example, make our home look and function better, and for fielding the questions, ideas, and concerns of all of us. We would not be here without them.
We should be proud of having over 2,011 members at the beginning of 2011. We should be ecstatic, and I encourage all of you get in the spirit of Frosty Pints this weekend, adding, gaming, and having good times with as many of your fellow GSers as humanly possible. That said, we are not celebrating our numbers in on itself. To steal a line from our webmaster, Toezer, we are not successful because we have a lot of members. We have a lot of members because we are successful.
I sit and type this message enjoying a cold one after work.
This frosty pint is for all of you.
Your fellow Gunslinger,
