Hey guys,
I'll do my best to do this short, and sweet.
Backstory:
Not many of you know me, which is a shame, but some call me Ephili. I have been here at HLP for many years. I moved here with the exodus of the remaining Mulitplayers when PXO died.
I don't post too much, tho I want to. Its mainly a 'shyness' because of my first few posts here. It was about FS3 and to take action, and instead of channeling my enthusiasm I was horribly flamed and charred on a grill.
I wanted to get involved in all projects and was willing to MOD and test and everything. I even tried out voice acting for Derelicts re release. But I did not have the skills or ability to do so. Learning to MOD from scratch was too hard on Truespace, and my PC couldn't (and still cant) really handle SCP that well. So that killed
of what I intended to bring and contribute to HLP. I don't think anyone knows that BTW.
I started a clan, the EvilOnes, back in the PXO days and its still running, but not in freespace obviously.
What I really came to say:
Through the years I really came to admire this community. It set the standard, a high standard, for all other on-line communities. It is the best i have found (overlooking the flaming of FS3 newbies). I aspire for my forum, to be as close as possible to this community. HLP is very mature, yet humorous. Many people are well learned. Spelling and grammer is taken seriously. And everyone keeps up on world events and news. I love that. I also love the fact that you guys are very good at finding unique information, and able to find backings for most points you say. So that brings a high level of credibility and respect. I wish all other communities would all be like this.
I do my best to teach responsibility, respect, and maturity to the members of my forum. I have not had
of success but i try. I would like my community to know whats happening in the world, and be able to research things and find out facts, back up their beliefs, to be able to spell and all that great stuff. (Its not, they don't care about spelling, its just HLP does have
of nit picky people and sets a high standard)
I just appreciate all the hard work thats been done, and been put in over the years on various FS projects. Keep up the great work.
HLP just means
to me, and i plan on being here forever. HLP is just something different then anything else you see on-line IMHO. HLP is keeping freespace alive.
One day I will get a good gaming PC, and I will get SCP in its fullest. It has been hard, seeing all the great screenshots, all the new campaigns, and not being able to experience them. Its always an arms lenght out of my reach. One day I will contribute the way I have always wanted to.
When I joined HLP i got the feeling if you don't contribute you were not accepted as well. That is another reason i really, don't know any of you personally. I wish to change that. And by this post, i wish to state, tho i have not contributed, FREDed or anything like that, I really want to. I'm just not capable now.
So keep on doing a great job HLP. Admins, you are doing a great job too.
I just wanted to let you all know, how much I appreciate this community.
