  To Be All I Can Be

  For years now I have been enjoying the hospitality of the GameSpot Forums. Enthralled in the community and enjoying losing myself in posts, getting to know users, racking up stats and having a good time on here. This definitely isn't a I'm leaving GameSpot blog. It's actually the opposite. I will probably be spending even more time on GameSpot, I just won't be spending all my time on the forums here posting myself into oblivion. If that means giving up my #1 posting spot on GS to be more productive and feel better about myself on here then I think it's worth the statistical loss to respect myself more on how I conduct myself on here. There is still a lot I need to learn about GameSpot, and a lot more helping out within the community I can be doing other than just posting all hours of the day and really not accomplishing anything except inflating that little number on the bottom of my username. Today I begin a new level here on GameSpot. I'm Level 38 now, DJ Boy.... and in a way I ironically feel like a boy instead of a man on here. So as I grow with this level I think it's time I hone my skills that I already have on here, learn some new trades and things about this place and be a more diverse member here enjoying all that GameSpot has to offer instead of just posting and not doing anything else.
  
  It's been fun, and it will continue to be fun. Enjoy the #1 spot on GameSpot F, because I know you will be passing me soon, and it's something that you really want and being the statistically oriented user that you are I know you will enjoy being on top more than I ever did. I have other things to do on here besides just post, and it's about time I got off my ass and actually started doing what I am capable of. Look forward to future update blogs on my new beginning here on GameSpot, because I will actually have time for blogs and other things now that I'm not just in the forums. I love you all here, and I hope you understand why I am doing something I feel that I need to do, and genuinely want to do. See all of you around and I wish you the best while I am trying to become the best I can be on here as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, it is sincerely appreciated.

  F, Statistics and Postanometry

  Well, it's that time of year again. No not Christmas, but the monthly update for the Top 75 Posters. I updated it this morning in My UCB The Open Communication Center. If you would like to go directly to the thread, then here is the link for that - GameSpot's Top 75 Posters - December 2009. Some of the big posters since the November 15th Update are as follows: double_decker = 135,728 (+5,483 posts), papermariofan57 = 70,262 (+5,311 posts), Cloud_765 = 41,772 (+4,832 posts), Just PlainLucas = 55,113 (+2,554 posts), fastesttruck = 121,579 (+2,520 posts), julian_jr = 60,285 (+2,243 posts), horgen123 = 62,005 (+2,153 posts), MoonFoxx = 79,528 (+1,610 posts), cousin_eddy = (+1,038 posts) and LJS9502_basic = 86,209 (+1,081 posts).
  
  I'd like to give a special congratulations to papermariofan57 who moved up 4 spots to #10 on the list. horgen123 who moved up 3 spots to take #16. julian_jr who moved up 5 spots to take #18. JustPlainLucas who moved up 4 spots to take #26. And last but certainly not least would be Cloud_765 who moved up 17 spots to take #52 on the list!
  
  Feel free to leave a comment in here on bringing GameSpot some much needed activity. For those that think the boards have slowed down you just must not be looking in the right places. Congratulations everyone and good luck to all on future updates.

  Wonder this...

  So time for another blog about one of the users that post at my UCB The Open Communication Center. This user is no other than 2ndWonder.
  
  What is there to say about this user? Most people already know him, he's been on the forums of GameSpot before I started being active here. His name is Jay and he always has a nice word for everyone. He spends hours on GameSpot lurking, posting and just being there for others. Whether it's a friendly hello or making a thread to give a board something new to talk about. He's been a close friend to me on here for a long time and remembers when I was some newb poster trying to make his way on the boards. He seems to be everywhere and, to me at least, describes what a quality user on GameSpot should be. He also helps keep stats for the site by keeping track of the Top 25 User Levels which I am sure is no easy task. So if you don't already know this user then feel free to look him up in Off-Topic Discussion or in my UCB and get to know him better. I'd just like to take the time to thank you Jay for all you have contributed to GameSpot and for always being a friend to me on here, someone I can depend on to be there if I need someone there. It's an honor to know someone like yourself. Have a good night everyone and I hope your Thanksgiving dinner's don't leave you too stuffed to get to know this wonder user here on GameSpot.
