Wow, 10 years, already?

Most of you won't know who I am, this is for the old school folk still around.

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet unlike what my previous year in reviews used to be like!

So, it's my 10 year anniversary with eGO. I haven't been active at all in the last 5/6 or so years; I've been busy studying! In that time I've been through college and university, and just a few weeks ago, I graduated as a dentist. You may now call me Dr. Darth.

I am also now the age I said I was when I first joined eGO, I didn't think I would be accepted otherwise! The first 4/5 years of my time with you was eventful enough to last 20 years. There had been a lot of ups, some downs but most of all, you guys were like my second family to me when I was growing up through my teenage years. I made so many friends and I hope you enjoyed talking and interacting with me as much as I did with you.

Although I never made it to the top (something which I now realise is just who I am and I try and achieve in everything I do in life), the experiences I had with you, my online family were amazing. With all the projects I was involved with, I gained so many skills, namely graphic design which I would never have developed if I didn't join eGO. Having those skills has definitely been beneficial in the real world and I still use them to this day.

I graduated top of my class, have a job lined up starting in a few weeks and I guess this is the final step going into the real world.

Funnily enough, I only realised it was my 10 year anniversary when eGO popped into my head the night before my last final when I couldn't sleep. I logged on to the website to find many, many changes but it brought back so many memories.

For all the old school gang reading this, I hope all is well with your lives. I guess I am finally and truly and adult now! Your little Darth has grown up.

My inbox has been full since 2009 so if you want to contact me, just post here or leave a visitor message on my profile. I don't even know what's happened to the DarthBox, let's not talk about that.

I guess this 10 year anniversary concludes the final chapter. Take care folks.
Peace out ✌


(Coincidentally, I've just left USA! I visited Orlando, Vegas, the Grand Canyon area & LA. Last year I was in DC, NY & Boston. It was so cool and I probably will be back again at some point. P.S. Your food portion sizes are way too big and many of my clothes are getting tight for me!)
 
Also, I can't believe I've only dropped down to 4th from 1st in the list of most posts by a user.. guess Legend snuck in there while I was AFK.
 
Long live the king of the Darthbox.

Every few months Adam renames it for a bit... then someone changes it back...

Amazing to hear what you've accomplished and how far you've come! Congratulations on finishing school. On the odd occasion I see your name pop up I always get excited - I miss the old days too, often. The nostalgia and memories go on forever. You are certainly missed around here, with many others.

Hope real life keeps providing you with good times and a good future. Keep on rockin'!

He told me if I catch up to him, he will make me a forum award...
 
Congratulations! I know dentistry isn't an easy profession to get into and even the thought of staring into peoples food holes scares the f*ing cheeze wizz out of me but I only have the upmost respect for the people that decide to work on us nasty humans. Congrats man, I dont know you but I'm proud of you.
 
10 years dude?'! Thats insane, congrats. I hope 1 day i will be a legend just as yourself :)
Goodluck m8.
 
Damn 10 years that's crazy I hope eGO is still popular when 2028 comes around

10 years is one hell of an achievement! congrats on that. I wish you only good things in life, cya,
 
Congrats DarthBox, glad to see you are doing so well. Don't be too much of a stranger!
 
Give me six months and i'll hit 8 years with ego. I am happy to hear about your success! Darthbox doesn't isn't the same anymore. Hopefully you find a job in a location you really want to be in!
 
It will forever be the Darth box instead of shout box. Congrats buddy! I'm right behind you in December. So, does this mean you do discounts on teeth Dr. Darth? xD
 
Thanks for all your good wishes everyone!

Long live the king of the Darthbox.

For many years I was confused what "Jail" was, till I played it and spent hundreds of hours, good times.

Congrats DarthBox, glad to see you are doing so well. Don't be too much of a stranger!
:D

I thought we weren't allowed to change names @Un0fficial

Need a place to work? I know a guy.

Congratulations on 10 years.
Thanks Legend, I got a reply from you, that made my year!

I've not even started working and I've already got a long waiting list :/
 
Well, I hope this thread is not too necro to bump it, but YO DARTH.

Woodstock here. In similar vein to you, I logged in a few days ago to check out my 10yr award, and have been lurking until now. This seems like a good place to gather the ol' guys.

Congrats on becoming Dr. Darth. Like you I have been AWOL from eGO for the past 8 or so years, still have jumped on a server every once in a while though. In the meantime life has moved on, degrees have amassed (ok, only up to a masters now and hopefully no more to come) and games have changed. Been playing a lot of CS:CZ lately.

But I still often fondly remember the great days of old playing with the eGO family. The many hours in Warpath, countless Ubercharges, plenty of Ubersaw kills and taunts, royal-rumbles, road trips, and of course the one day I tried to takeover the Darthbox.

Not really sure where this post is going now, just wanted to stop in and say Hi. I may even fire up TF2 in the near future. Hope to see some old names as I continue to lurk about.

!Woodstock!
