I'd need a Valium at least.i think you'd have to strap me down to put a needle in my eye.
In my mind, I like to think that I swept them this year.Did the 2024 Hype Awards happen this year? I haven't seen anything about it. I'm assuming they're doing in every other year or everyone just doesn't have the time?
That is "exactly" where you swept the awards.In my mind, I like to think that I swept them this year.
I think I just passed 22 years officially on the boards. Signed up the second I came home from X2 on Opening Day after lurking for a year or two prior...can't remember if I stumbled upon these boards before or after Spider-Man released.That's unfortunate.
I don't post as much here like I did 10-15 years ago. It's hard to believe my 20 year anniversary is coming up on here next year.
If I had more time, I would have loved to have done the hype awards if not one else could.

My memory's fuzzy, but I seem to recall these boards were at their peak madness around The Dark Knight and maintained the energy through The Dark Knight Rises before ultimately falling off as we had to be more owner-friendly, leading to a chilling effect and chasing off some of our more *unique* users. I understand the crackdown in hindsight; I just long for those days as there wasn't another place like the Hype Forums back then. There was never a stagnant day here.
It's my longest relationship with social media. I've been on three other boards that have already died. I'd hate to see this one go.ive been a member more than half my life lol
i signed up in 2004 but i know i was lurking in high school so i was around in 2003, maybe even 2002. some of the first posters i remember were @Cyclops, @jaguarr, @BRUTAL. all 3 could prob fall under that "unique" category, but this was my first serious message board and prob my longest relationship haha
Sounds awesome and I hope you keep funded. We need agencies like you more than ever.Passed my mid-point probation for my new job, which I started in February.
Working for a charity education college working with learners with mental health problems and anxiety etc, with a platform to support, inspire and make them feel safer and more assured.
Lots of variety in the role and projects to get involved with including helping to produce with our learners, a short film based around the theme of hope, born out of suicidal thoughts.
I am honoured, excited and proud to be involved in this production process with our learners and this will be screened in September under the Baton of Hope name with a physical tour of Britain (much like the Olympic Torch) with events highlighting peoples' struggles, personal battles and overcoming the thought and effect of suicide not just to those who have or thought of taking of their own life and the people left behind and it's impact.
Vital subject, be proud of your journey, know your own strength.
I wanted to be involved with this film for my own journey taken and to help the learners with theirs,
Dude.....I think you are awesome. I wish we had a billion more like you.....with some variations of course.Passed my mid-point probation for my new job, which I started in February.

My friend and mentor who passed away 15 years ago on May Day, once told me (paraphrasing someone else who you might be familiar with) "If we agree on everything, one of us is irrelevant".
Best of luck always and please keep us updated.
Best always.

My wife is a therapist who has been working in addiction for 20+ years.. It's a very, VERY frustrating profession, but when someone changes their life around, it's incredibly rewarding.My sister is a social worker who helps people struggling with addiction. Her employer's funding got slashed by Trump. She might be out of a job soon. Those who help others should be getting awards and funding, not laid off.![]()
Congrats! Hope everything works out for you.Good news, friends! My search for a new job is now over after not much luck over the last few years.
I’m going to be working part-time at a place for those with developmental and physical challenges like myself. Will be doing stuff like organizing papers, stapling, and any other tasks I’m given.
Will be interesting to see how it goes once my schedule is worked out.
I’m optimistic it’ll work out!![]()
