I was recently looking over some old stuff from old cbub, and it got me thinking on how long it's been since it shut down. Like all of us here that used it for years, I miss it dearly. And when this site came along I was so glad to see a lot of your faces again.
But I need to confess, (though I'm not sure why I feel the need to) I don't deserve to miss it. Though I may have used it more than some over my period their, it still was...sporadic. I would make a few fights and get involve with the community in small batches. Use it for a few weeks, forget about it for months, then find my way back. At least it felt that way. I never got really involved with you guys until my late high school years and by that point, the show was almost over. I never...felt like I was truly apart of the community because I was so wrapped up in something else I never took the time to post on that forum that looked cool, Or give my opinion on an awesome match, or discuss weather or not we needed another Superman/Goku fight. I didn't do these things because I thought cbub was important enough....or because I knew it was this huge thing that would stick around forever. Oh to be young and naive.
I'll be 22 next month...I live on my own five states away from any family I have...I work 30 hours a week and starting Monday I go back to school for my Bachelor's. I've grown up guys...and that's weird. Because when I look at this community, it's members, I see what made cbub so fucking special. The people that used it.
Without even knowing me, you taught me what the meaning of a crossover was and how awesome it is.
You showed me what Mistborn is.
You showed me what Role-playing is.
You taught me knowledge of Cthulu and Doctor Who.
You introduced me to a world where I could be a God...
You were a gateway for me to express myself. And no amount of words or posts I could do can capture how much that means.
I know I posted something like this before, just before cbub ended....but tonight, I just needed to get this off my chest.
You guys are family, not only to me but too each other.
And if their is one thing I regret most, it's not saying 'Hi' when I should have. But I'm here now. This is cbub now, and I plan on giving back to that community that helped me grow into the nobody I am today.
(Sorry about the random emotion-driven sloppy mess, I'm tired lol)
P.S... You guys could have at least taught me how to make and use signatures on these damn forums lol

Maybe I'll do something, one of these days. I don't know.. 
Now I know where I rank, on the totem pole.
