First of all, a real good blog. It made my time worthwhile. Nowadays there are so many crappy blogs that whenever I find a good one, it just makes me happy.

I first came to this wiki just like I go to every anime/manga wikis when I watch them. I had been to Narutopedia and Dragonball Wiki before I came here.

I started to watch One Piece on August 2010 and came here in September (I think), as usual, I was an AWC and did not bother editing, I just read the articles. Then I caught up with both the anime and manga and got busy with life, as I was on the verge of leaving the country for higher education at that time, I was really busy.

Then just about two weeks before leaving, I was taking a last vacation and was fooling around and suddenly stumble here to check something out (actually I just watched episode 486 and wanted to check something from there). Then I found the "recent blogs" link and took a glance at it. And for the first time realized that here I have the opportunity to discuss all the weird ideas that prevents me from sleeping at night. So I joined on 15th February last year with the username I use for mostly everything, Blackendedsoul.

Well then it began, shortly after I joined, I left Bangladesh, and became busy so was not that active in the early days. Then when I finally became active, the chat also came to exist. The first people I had fun with on the chat were Caring, Galcion, Panda, Mdm, Jinbe, Rici and some other folks who were present at that time. Rici was the one to give the nick name "Soul".

Then the prediction craze started, BLS use to do prediction from before and so did Youn but IH started to make his at some point of time. I became a vigorous critique of predictions and started to find faults in good works. So to be fair that the authors of those works has a chance to criticize me, I wrote a prediction called "Chase to Raftel"; surprisingly enough it got good response which led me to write the Raftel Prediction and I did enjoy writing it.

Aside from that, I really got hooked into the blogs, I remember many awesome blogs and yet more awesome discussions on their comment threads. Sadly enough, I did not (and still do not) like non OP blogs (yes there are exceptions). So I did not take part in blogs like King of the Hill (or later GMC), still I read them (at least some of them).

I enjoyed the chat, as it gave me an opportunity to talk to many people from all over the world. I really enjoyed the time.

I am not a user who could be considered "good" by the community (just look at the puny number of my article edits) still I made many friends here. I left in the mean time, because I got busy with work and home visit and then some weird site problem did not allow me to access the chat for some time, so I was not very active in the summer/autumn.

I returned to Germany and then got back here active again during November. After fooling around a little (and getting myself accustomed again) I then decided to start my second series of prediction and am still working on it.

The final bonus of this wiki for me (till now) was the tinychat coming to play. Although I am not that comfortable at tiny owing to my non pleasant looks and accent, I still liked it cause it allowed me to see the faces of some of the people who are now essentially good friends of mine.

Finally I would thank everyone one of this wiki to make this place awesome and wish that we will keep on being awesome in the future. 16:41, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
