> Hey all,
>
> Rinkworks was the first online community I ever joined (circa 2000 or so, when I was in middle school.) I stopped participating in the community after a few years, but I still check back every now and then to see the new content and be nostalgic and all.
>
> I just wanted to poke my head in and say hello, and thank you for being such a welcoming community to me during my (incredibly) awkward younger years. Now that I am a (only somewhat) awkward adult, I can look back and appreciate the grace you guys gave me.
>
> I also wanted to let you guys know that I now have my own patch of internet real estate, www.improveyoursocialskills.com. It's basically exactly what it sounds like--advice written from my personal experience in overcoming poor social skills and awkwardity. It someone seemed appropriate to share my first website with my first online community :) Also, the "About Me" page has a picture of me on an elephant, in case any of you were thinking "You know what, I wonder what OneCoolCat looks like ten years after I knew him and also riding an elephant?" So there's that.

> Thanks guys, for being an awesome community :) I'm grateful for you all and for the memories

I recognize that website! You promoted it on another one of my online communities under a different username!
