The Official Thank You Thread
 

So here we are, at my 10,000th post. It was almost exactly two years ago that I first decided to go from lurker to poster writing under the nom de plume of Smootsmack.

I suppose you all figured I'd roll out some humorous post celebrating post 10k. Instead I've decided to thank you. That's right I'm talking to you. Thank you. This 10,000th post belongs to all of us.

I don't have enough time or space to hand out 2,000+ thank you's. But it's because of you (yes, I'm still talking to you) that I came back for post 2, post 1,000, post 5,000 and now post 10,000. Thank you for being there to share in the celebration of Redskins wins, and to commiserate with me when they lose. Thank you for listening to my opinions and stepping up to defend them when you felt it was necessary. Thank you (still talking to you, yes even you Offiss) for disagreeing with me, challenging me, and making me a smarter fan. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of other aspects of life-buying a new car, investing, etc. Thank you for making me laugh.

I never thought it possible when I wrote my first post but I've made some great friends here (Redskins_P holla at your boy!!!) and I truly believe this site has really helped me grow overall as a person (cue the violins). Some of you tick me off to no end, and I know I do the same to you but I want to thank you all the same.

I'd also like to thank God, the academy, the key grip, kraft food services, all my fans up there-I see you-, my homies in lockdown....

Thank you for always giving me a reason to come back. Time for the next 10,000

Smootysmacks deserves the 10K ring!

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Wow! 10,000? Congrats.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

oh come on. i could have 10,000 in one day!

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

I remember first discovering this site before the 2004 draft. It was my busiest semester ever (18 credits, 5 400 level classes, 2 honors courses) so I was at the computer lab working more often than not. When I needed a break this is where I went.

This really has not nothing to do with this thread, and is probably not interesting to most people here, but that's what I've written. Sorry.

Goodjob Smootsmack! Here's to the next 10,000.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Congrats TAFKAS. Looking foward to reading another 10,000.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread

:postcop:

Oh those tricky stat guys, they ruin all the fun.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Congrats Taf. Maybe i'll thank someone when i hit 5000. I probably will thank THE BSB himself.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Wow! 10000 posts! Thats a lot of hot air!

Good job!

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Congrats TAFKAS!

Guess all I've got to do is repeatedly drop a purse on the keyboard and I'll catch up to you. Happy 10000! Thought I was special since I went over 1000 recently. Been here for many years. I'm thinking 5-6? Can someone check my serial number? ahhahaha. GO SKINS!!!

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

i consider you the carnac, the wise and powerful one, of the warpath. congrats on the 10000. ( you only banned kidwell because he was going to pass your post count in less than a week)

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Damn! And I wasn't even on to thank you properly. Congratulations man, and thanks for randomly calling me at work (how you got my number is a mistery) and lamenting about the Skins with me on company dime.

You sir, are truly a class act.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Hooray for Smokestack, I mean...
Hooray for Scoobysnack, I mean....
Hooray for Smootsmack!

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

On a serious note I just want to thank Tafkas for the kickass job he does around here, and everything that he has done for the site in general. A true MVP.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

You welcome, and congrats TAF.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Well done Taf. Thanks to you for your quality contributions to the site, whether as moderator or simply offering well formulated thoughts and opinions. Kudos.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Congrats on 10K TAF! Thanks for everything you do for this site.

I wanna be like you when I grow up.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

I still remember TAFKAS's first post around here back in 2004. In case some of you forgot, here it is...

[I]If you thought the Eagles beat us bad, you should see Hilary Swank get it in the new movie "Million Dollar Baby." Maybe Mark Brunell needs to go back in, he's still got plenty of miles left in those legs of his.

Geez, I wish they'd put Family Guy back on Sunday nights. That show was almost as funny as Michael Richard's stand up routine.

Time for my spinach salad[/I][/QUOTE]

Those were such simplier times.

:woot:

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

congrats TAF...your post count will help build a quality platform for when you and Matty run for office in '08.

Re: The Official Thank You Thread
 

Now that I think about it, it was nearly three years ago because I remember it was the week of the Bears game in 2003. And there was some thread about predictions that was getting kind of loopy so my debut post was something about Fred Smoot intercepting an Antonio Pierce tipped pass then lateraling it to Ifeanyi Ohalete who would moonwalk into the end zone for the TD. Or something like that.

Plus I proclaimed my love of spinach
