I thought that to mark my 100th post, which is not a great many compaired to a good deal of forum users, I would share my impression of the forum itself and the people who post on it.
When I first started lurking on this site I felt that the forum was a closed shop to outsiders, the general vibe of posts and replies seemed very much that of a clique of posters that knew each other, and had their little in jokes and on-line buddies. I think that that was due to the fact that this forum is unlike anyother that I had used previously, where i t was the norm new posters to be flamed at every opportunity and their posts ignored.
After spending a while reading the boards I realised that rather than being a closed shop, the Blonde forum was one of the most varied, welcoming, thought provoking and above all else laugh out loud funny sites on the web. The friendly and helpful nature of this forum is down to the posters, mods and especially Tikay.
So I would like to say thanks to everyone concerned with Blonde for giving someone who seldom posts on forums, a place where I feel comfortable doing so. I'm looking forward to meeting many of you a bb4 next week, even the welsh.

If you made it this far, cheers for reading my self indulgent post and please feel free to flame me for it.
