Marcus threatened to steal my girlfriend if I didn't make a speech, so here it is...
Believe it or not, I actually did a little bit of research before I joined the forum. I've dabbled here and there online. But I wanted to hang out in a place where I myself can grow. After lurking here for a short while I quickly realized how many wise and educated individuals are here. The kind of people I like to surround myself with. So I decided to make this forum my new home. Best decision I have made, hands down.
The various sections of this forum are filled with information; coupled with outstanding support from members. The HRT section mainly, is absolutely mind-blowing; with such incredibly educated, open minded and supportive members. Practicing endocrinologists couldn't fathom the level of development and dedication to the condition at hand. It's really quite astonishing. You guys know who you are, and I most certainly appreciate you.
I've learned a lot since I joined. Patience and amicability are easily obtained simply by following some of the tenured members who lead by example. The reflection is obvious when you see very new members behaving in such a positive matter. This is what makes a community, one that I am proud to be a part of.
I sincerely look forward to many years to come. I am in this for the long haul, that I can promise. I want to thank everyone, not only those who voted for me, but all members for making my home a better place. The number of people who deserve this award is too large to list. But you all know who they are and how much we all appreciate every one of them.
The owner(s) deserve recognition. It's very difficult to understand how tasking, stressful and challenging online growth can be. Staying afloat isn't even easy these days so thank you for having us here and maintaining an amazing place.
Best of luck to all, hope everyone has a great holiday season and looking forward to 2013!
Your friend,
Austinite
