Ok, I know it's obvious, but I just wanted to say it. This place rocks my world. I mean, really. I can't wait until New Year's this year. Why? Because I am going to be partying in SoCal with the SoCal crew! Would this have happened without HOP? No way!
See, one of the great things about the Web in general is that no matter what your random, freaky hobby or interest may be, just start a website and like-minded people will fly out of the woodwork and it will be the most fun you've ever had! Don't believe me? www.airliners.net
There's a crazy hobby, and thousands of people who love it, anyways.
And here we are! Some of the people on this site are truely good friends of mine, and that's not something I say lightly about people. I've got lots of friends, but very few good ones and the fact that some of them are on this site is really amazing!
So, to Malcolm, thank you for making HOP, and to the mods for helping to keep it running. Just think of a world without HOP...I sure am glad that world no longer exists.

Hmmmmm this sounds vaguely familiar.
Thanks Mike, and I couldn't agree more! I find more magic in my world comes from HoP day by day, and I am sooooo thankful for it!
Here's a round on me!

I really dig this board because, for the most part, the people here are not stuck up. I occasionally post on other boards and with out fail within four or five posts I am confronted with some dickhead's ego or pretention. Some asshole who thinks he knows everything about anything giving an unsolicited $1.50 (as opposed to two cents) and then going on some sort of personal attack against my charactor.
In the case of HOP, I can only think of one case off hand of any one pissing me off since I have been a member of this board. It is comforting to me to know that there is at least one place that I can post about things like spirituality, religion, random thoughts, and simple questions where people will actually try to be helpfull rather than search for a sign of weakness to exploit to make themselves feel supirior.
In fairness I am a little drunk at this point, so I may be getting a bit mushier than I normally would, but I feel much more comfortable posting here than pretty much anywhere else on the web.

I love HOP Though I feel kind of mundane here, I mean everybodies like all exotic and stuff. *looks down at toes* I mean, people are like, I'm british or whatnot and I'm like, I live in Minnesota. WAHOOO! Wasn't born here, but it has been my home for like 85% of my life. So yeah, maybe I should pick up a dutch accent and call myself Johan from now on
*le sigh* the dutch rock, I want to live in the netherlands
But back to the topic, I love HOP!!

Why would you want to be someone other than who you are? Do you suppose that being British or Dutch will make you some sort of uber man?

I'm just a small town boy with big town dreams
I wasn't terribly serious about that last statement, I mean yes I do love aspects of urban life and long to live in cities such as London or Amsterdam, but overall I'm fairly comfortable with who I am and how my future is shapeing up. Not completely comfortable, I have yet to grow into my own skin. I'm just in a liminal state, I still have that "Anywhere but here" mentality, I don't want to be defined by where my parents live, I want to strick out on my own. So yeah
But the I love HOP statement still stands

Great to hear, Jello.
One thing you might not have realised is that people in London or Amsterdam probably think where they live is boring, and would love to live in Canada or the States... (the grass is always greener)
Back to the threads topic, now.
Without HoP I may not have married the love of my life, become a fulltime performer or even kept going with with firearts.
I basically owe my entire life as it stands to this awesome Bulletin Board!

Ahem, yeah, back to the topic Sorry MikeGinny!
HOP has definitly helped me to expand my horizons with my poi, what with butterfly combinations and many other things. While I've practiced and learned most things on my own, it's always been nice to have a reference to look at when you hit a wall. I'm pretty sure my poi fascination wouldn't have lasted this long had there been no HOP. Bravo HOP!
And this is a cool place to meet people, if not just on the net and not in real life. It would be cool to meet that special someone, like you Charles, and to poi off into the sunset
