Such a heartwarming speech you delivered! No lying here, I'm serious.
I'd like to take a moment now to show my appreciation to this forum and the other fellow active members~ I guess I joined a week shortly after the forum came to existence, which was around last weekend. It was Barrie himself who drew my attention to this, and JPH!P itself~ He found my blog and invited me to join here. Actually, the first person to even post a comment on my blog.
I was doubly touched by the comment. I'd had near 1000 views and yet no one had the guile to post a thank you, or a comment or suggestion or anything. So I hastily joined. And here I am now, 200+ posts later.
I'm just glad there's a decent English-language forum for SCANDAL. I know of SCANDAL's Sushi, HATOMARI FURANSU (a French forum), and of course the first forum ever for SCANDAL, the Indonesian-language one Jr. brought my attention to. I was convinced I couldn't find another SCANDAL forum that was in
English, and was about ready to try to make my own forum. @__@ God knows how horrible THAT would turn out.
I'm grateful to be among so many other dedicated SCANDAL fans, and I hope that we'll all continue to keep up this little community in the awesome way it's going.
May we recruit new fans and members, and hang on to the awesome recurring, active members we got~ I hope I myself will continue to be active, but there's a slim chance that I'll ever leave.
And congrats to our little community for 1000 posts and counting!
