In April 2011, I joined this site. For that first month, I tried to figure out how things worked (being the luddite that I am concerning things internet related). I also read the forum, but didn't know whether or not I'd join. As I read all the various postings, I found that some guy named mikeyank had views on the various scenes which were pretty close to my own. Given that and the wide variety of topics posted on the forum then, I decided to join.
I was having a problem with something on the forum and posted a cry for help. And 'lo and behold this guy mikeyank answered and help me solve whatever the issue was. And out of that began a beautiful friendship. Over the next decade we became close friends, sharing news about our families, talking about what's going on with the world as well as his educating me about the early days of the forum and site.
The last thing I ever imagined when I joined a porn website was that I would acquire not only a friend but also someone whom I cherish and appreciate. So Happy Birthday, mikey; and may you have many more to come.
