Hey guys. I missed my 4 year anniversary by one day. That's right, I joined this site four years ago, though I've been using it for about 8 years. I've been here through thick and thin, I don't think I will ever leave, at least not for long.
While here, I've improved my grammar and spelling a lot. I've also improved my writing skills. However, when I look back at my early posts, I still cringe. I was slightly rude, and I was mainly a completely different person.
Back then, I still played RS. I even based my first story on it, "A Rat's Tale". So whatever I have to say about myself, I can always say that I have been writing about things that interest me.
I've made a few friends here, and there are people I have always looked up to(Jaron). To quote Bilbo Baggins, "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." I don't even know half of the people that use this site, and I probably never will. I myself don't have any enemies here, and that is one of my reasons that I continue to stay here.
I have many people to thank for making my stay here good.
Jaron: It was because of your "Zamorak's Bane" stories that I joined RV as a member.
Tahu1000: Your constructive criticism helped me out with my early stories,
Landerpurex: I have seen you as a friend for some time now, though we rarely talk to each other.
Bluecoat: I also see you as a friend, and I thank you for hosting the RV Minecraft Server.
Pyro: You're a cool guy, and I'm glad to know you.
Site admins: I thank you for running this site as well as you do, and I hope to continue to see it run well for many more years.
There are probably many people I have forgotten, and I thank them as well.
When I joined here, I was in 8th grade. Now I'm a highschool senior. So much has changed within that time, and yet much has stayed the same.

Thank you, from:
Rat611
Rat King
R_A_T
Random Charlie
Charles Rastavan (These are all names I go by online.)
Sincerely:
~Russell A. Tarbox~
