This is my 500th post on WF. For me this is a surprisingly emotional moment, although I thought it would be more appropriate to mark the 1,000th post instead. Believe me when I say, I have never based my decision to read a thread or write a comment on the number of posts/threads/thanks a warrior has. This also includes the year a warrior joined WF. From time to time the things to attract my attention are profile pictures and creative usernames. That's it. That's all.

I also don't want to sound pathetic, but this number of posts made me ask some simple questions. Did I make WF be a better place with my posts? What am I doing and/or achieving here? I think that I annoyed quite a few people at the beginning. I am ashamed of that and feel bad about it. I feel great about being able to "confess" here. It's just like WF has become a sanctuary where I can hide, regroup, and regenerate after a lovely day with boring projects and demanding clients.

What I plan to do with my next 500 posts on WF? I think deep inside I would like to find a thread or comment that could change my current game. You know, light the bulb in your head so I can share a success story with my 1,000th post. Like this forum helped me achieve this. At the same time, I would like to hear that some warrior decided something to do or change based on my thread or comment. That would be great. Right? It's too much to say that you've changed someone's life, but to contribute even with a small detail, that's really something.

Also, I don't know what's the proper word to use. I'm privileged, lucky, honored, or something else to witness some historic moments on WF. Guess, I missed the history classes on WF, so I can tell you what happened a couple of years ago, or at the very beginning. But, what I see now is a process where WF changes and redefines itself. Warriors are extremely passionate about their forum. I think this is a great thing. Emotions are the fuel for all the things around us, no matter how sophisticated and complex they may be in their strict technological nature.

So, until my 1,000th post, I wish to my WF to have at least 100,000 new warriors and a million of new and great life-changing ideas. I have always wondered if this song was in the heads of WF creators when they were thinking how to name it. For what is worth, when I think about WF, I just can't avoid this movie and this song. Cheers!

    I think you've turned things around (from the view of your posts) significantly from the paid posts you made when you began.

    That said, your posts do focus on "I" and "me" and "my"....rather than on "you". That's fine if you have a problem to discuss - but not if you are telling others how to do things ...or how to "view" things.

    In the post above, you have the words "I" and "my" - 35 times....and the word "you" only 4 times.

    Just something to think about for the next 500 posts.

    If you really want to know about "The Warriors," read the book. The movie is only loosely based on it and compared to the book, the movie sucks.

      Didn't have a clue it's based on a book. Will check it for sure.

      Thx.

    Find the love of your life
    Have and raise children
    ponder the deeper meaning of life


    and such things as a 500th post on an internet forum will not be emotional at all.

      While the love of my life watches her favorite TV show and our kids play the games, I am checking out my WF.

      Cheers!

    The name of the game is quality, not quantity.
