Because an Exo post isn't complete without a shout-out to cheese.
I was torn with the (tl;dr summary--->)10k ding thread(<---tl;dr summary). I've made friends in both OoT and in the Asylum, so I decided to do the next best thing: ding in both! Cause attention whoring is the awesome.
I already did a creative little pre-ding in the OoT, so this ding will be more of a "let me see how many posters I can remember the first time around before I have to go back and edit to get a couple" run.
I'll mix it in with some wit(hopefully), some humoUr, and of course, random tidbits to remember...if I remember them.
Peeps in no particular order (literally going by memory):
RJ: Cause I fuggin wish I can forget the sound of your voice.
Rime: You were the driver in Ugly's getaway car in my 9999 ding!
Moe: Words can not perfectly articulate my love for you at a level you'd deem acceptable. If we're to meet, the only reason why I don't hug you would be fear of falling into your awkwardly deep eye sockets.
DSD: Even though you are a caffeinated harpy, you are an awesome caffeinated harpy! I still remember your amazing hospitality (and Sick's grilling skillz!) from in Boston. Though stressful, you made the Boston trip that much more enjoyable! (Yeah yeah, I missed the Chicago trip; don't remind me. At least you didn't have to worry about me jamming a revolving door.)
Nexa: No way I can bring up the Boston trip and not remember that funny bus drive. You have a personality that anyone can fall in love with (Smash can vouch for that, I think.) The fact that if left alone, you'll make knots out of straws while everyone else is engaged in conversation makes you that much more awesome.
Smash: You are lucky I didn't realize Nexa was Nexa in that bus drive sooner!
Flea: Claro, solamente mirando lo que escribà sin tener que leerlo te indica que mi español no es perfecto. Yo me rÃo cuando pienso que deberÃa estar mejor que esto, pero bueno, nacà gringo! Mucho felicidades por tu matrimonio con Jophiel, con muchos años de alegrÃa! Lamento no poder sentarme con tigo en el restaurante peruano que ustedes fueron en Chicago.
Jophiel: Grats on your marriage with Flea, and I'm sure it won't slow down your post count one bit! I await your next major ding to see what crazy breakage of the forums it'll cause.
Kain: Yeah, you, you spoiled brat! Ah, who am I kidding. E-Rival or not, you would totally be a dude I hang out and drink with. If you are ever in Miami trying to setup some sort of E! Hollywood Orgy, hit me up (not for the orgy.)
Michelle Rodriguez:
Mindel: One of the posters from the FFXI Main Forum whom I truly respected. I was saddened that you had left your ************* behind, but was happy you still stuck around the forums, albeit in the OoT (which when you first joined, was mostly just an extention of the Unicorn forum, I think.) Reading your posts is a quick way for me to go anywhere from a chuckle to straight up laughter...AND you are intellegent, to boot!
Samira: Pretty much like Mindel, you are another poster whom post of goodness. You ability to twist words to your very whim without the use of witchcraft is mind boggling and amusing. Even though you hide behind a
Exod...erm...Elderon: Though we look ridiculously different, you are in fact my e-twin. Such determination to better yourself by being a clone of mine is admirable and respectable in anyone. Soon enough, you'll be eating cheese with the rest of us! <3 (Yeah, that's right *****, I'm the main account now!)
Uglysasquatch: Like Elderon, I'm the main account now, *****! (I seem to have a sock-admin triangle going on here.) It's admirable that you could hold back Nixnot's advances so diligently, and for that, you get a non-roofie cookie!
NixNot: ((I don't think he suspects the roofie in the cookie.)) You are another dude that would be awesome to hang out with (I'm no homophobe!) You have an incredibly laid back personality, which I like in anybody and you are funny to boot!
Neph: I'M NOT GAY.
Sabo: Dude, where the **** are you?
Wint: Who?
Belkira: I know I know...OoT Mass Jigsaw-Death.
I'll get to it. As long as I'm taking, I'll make sure to make the most of it and only get people who know what the hell they are doing (so like, Not-Hellboy) Pikko: If only you were a RL coworker (Honestly? Along with the rest of the Alla crew), I wouldn't be so stressed all the dang time. I truly feel we've bonded ever since I started working here (in a non-creepy-IN kind of way) and I wouldn't have it any other way. You are an amazing person and even long after Allakhazam DIAF (/knock on wood), you would be one of the few people I'd make an effort to remain communicated to!
DF:
God bless you for having so much patience with me. 
Like Pikko, you are another coworker I love having, even though I find myself praying every night so that you don't die in some crazy *** freak accident (Which will, of course, be youtubeable.) Dana/Peepmouse: Two people I royally missed having not gone to the Chicago trip (specially since I promised salsa dancing! haha). It pains me that yall live too far for me to pester more often in person (and I'm sure you all are sighing in relief!)
Kaolian: The man whom drink I owe and was not able to head over to Chicago and deliver! Maybe not as often in the forums since certain somebody's are always causing trouble *glances towards the OoT's general direction* but you are another person who always makes me laugh (specially with (duck) calls!)
BT: To say "You make me laugh often" is an understatement. You have a certain way you word things which usually leaves me thinking "I can't believe he just went there." Even if I'm pissed off to hell, a post of yours is enough to make me forget.
Nobby: Like BT (though, not as...erm...visual), I love reading your posts, even though I'll admit to sometimes sitting there saying "huh?" at some of your crazy brit-tongue twisters. While the rest of the world may think you are Eric Clapton, I...uh...I **************** it, I lie. You do. Sry.
Soracloud: Got Beer?
It's funny how the whole forum turns to you like the official beer adviser of the interwebz, rival only to Wiki. I bet you don't really like beer at all, you only read up on it! (I still say you look latino.) I'm sure that I've forgotten a whole heap of you guys, but we all know someone always gets left out from a ding thread, specially now that I have a huge head-ache, but no worries! Just call me a moran!
Cheers to 10k of posts! I'm sure at least 10 of them (if that) were a worthwhile read!
