Mr. Doom, Asdioh, Rauleen, Joker, Bill, ngamer3k, Calebyte, Composer:
You guys were so helpful to me whenever I had questions and were never afraid to give me answers. Thank you very much, I learned so much from you. I'll take it to heart on how to use it in the future for Beta when the time comes and I hope to be as good a TO as you guys are.
To myself:
Not bad for your first time, could've been a lot better though, so let's make it better.
If I missed anyone I'm SO sorry. It was hard to do this shout-out. X_X
