997 Days.

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 375 views 0 comments
I know most people would write this kind of blog on a nice even number; 50, 200 or 1000. But, I don't know, I prefer the unevenness of 997... something nice about it.

I have been a member of this fantastic site for 997 days, and in that time I have spoken to a great many people; some who come and go (no pun intended) and some who have stood the test of time. When I first came here, it was for the same reason we all did.. hot vids of boys doing what they do best; other boys (or if you are bi like me, boys doing boys and girls). And for a while that was all I needed... log on every few days, find a few hot vids, wank off and log out. But then, something happened... I started to talk to people on here, just one or two to start with but growing more and more regular, with more and more people.

As I inch closer to the 1000 days milestone, which by the way, is longer then I have been on twitter or facebook combined; I just want to stop and say a few things.

I have been a member of various 'gay' sites in my time; gaydar, manhunt and numerous others... and GBT has them all beat. The word 'community' is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days... and most times I hear someone talk about 'community' i tend to just think 'yeah whatever' and move on. But on here, a strange thing has happened, a real, honest to god (or whatever deity you may or may not believe in), genuine community has developed on here. It used to be come on, browse, watch, wank, log off. Now I log on, check my messages, reply to people I consider friend, check the blogs to see whats happening in peoples lives; sometimes they are funny blogs, sometimes sad, sometime controversial... but they are all helping to expand and enrich this site, this place I have come to adore, full of people I adore.

I may have never spoken to half of you who may read this, but that doesn't matter because those of you I have spoken too have enriched my life greatly so I just want to say a big thank you to all of those I have spoken to these past 997 days.

GBT is the one site I visit every day, and if it wasn't for the hard work of the people who run it, I think the internet would be a sadder place, so I thank you guys above all others; if it weren't for you I wouldn't have stayed all this time so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Here's to the next milestone!
