Goodbye

I liked chat a lot. I was spending too much time chatting and posting so when chat went away it helped me get a lot of work done. lol
Excellent...Meh, gettin older and wiser ( no comments required lol )..things could not be better mate, thank you. My photography is really starting to go places and slowly starting to get a bit recognition, its hard graft though...Life in general is great...How about you mate. family all ok?
I first joined this forum 5 years ago when I was 14. Unfortunately, due to circumstantial reasons, I was unable to keep up with the hobby. While looking back on my initial posts and threads is cringe-worthy to say the least, the community I experienced here was never anything but welcoming and exceedingly helpful 
You guys instilled in me a real passion for not only fish, but everything aquaria! I honestly learnt an incredible amount, and while I wasn't as active as I could have been back in the day, I'm actually excited to know that a lot of the members I used to lurk around are still here haha
The reason why I'm actually back and even responding to this thread is because only yesterday I started up a new aquarium (circumstances finally permitted...it's been a long wait xD), and the fond memories of this forum made me want to return
So yeah...I guess the purpose of this post is just to say thank you! Thank you for being patient with me when I clearly knew nothing xD Thank you for exposing me to the wonderful world of fish, and thank you for encouraging me to pursue this wonderful hobby you guys are awesome! Definitely keep doing what you're doing
