So here it is, the day has come.
Leading up to this milestone I thought I would have a feeling of standing at a gate, and being handed the keys to the kingdom in a sense.
However now that im here, I have more of a feeling of responsibility. Not unwelcome mind you, I enjoy responsibility and embrace it.
I understand why options are limited to newcomers. Not only for the safety of our vendors, but for the safety and wellbeing of our members, These 150 posts are a good oppurtunity to learn something, and find some degree of self control with the items we gain access to.
Anyway, Charon, Admin of Steel, Ice Wizard, Mad max, QueenB and Grim Reaper. A huge thanks to all of you, the community you have built here is truly unique. Its a place where I feel a sense of belonging and mutual understanding. In the area I live in, In real life, everybody just wants to know "how to get h1gh" or "how much they can sell it for". But here its beyond refreshing to find alot of people are honestly in it for their health, and want to learn about the science or nature of what is going on in their bodies or minds. I try to talk in person with people regarding my interests in chemistry and neuro-psychology and im ignored, barely listened to.
Yet here I feel embraced. Honestly I love that feeling. So thankyou to everybody who has made it possible for me to experience that!. Im happy.
A small comment on the nature of where we find ourselves, with influence from the mythological backgrounds of my screen name:
Daedalus fashioned the wings which he and Icarus flew with, But he also built the labyrinth of Crete, in which the Minotaur was kept. Think of these 3 things as aspects of self. The wings, a means of flying high and escaping the reality we know. The labyrinth, where we can lose ourselves, either to follow "ariadnes thread" and rediscover who we are, Or be chased in circles by the Minotaur, Or our personal demons. What we do with these things is a choice, how we choose to use the gifts of Daedalus is up to us.
With that note on mythology and modern commentary, I pass my obol to you Charon, and request passage on the ferry down the river styx and to the underworld. The journey has been enlightening and I will continue to contribute wherever I feel I can help or make an impact

Code:
"Never regret thy fall,
O Icarus of the fearless flight
For the greatest tragedy of them all
Is never to feel the burning light."
