Itās 5 oāclock somewhere right? 
But jokes aside have you seen any of the other forums? fucking hell Dave itās like something out of the early 2000s proper cesspit stuff, riddled with adverts, archaic search system, pages with 4 posts. Been spending the last couple of mornings seeing whatās going on the Norwich, spuds and Everton forums, worst internet experience Iāve had since I can remember. Nothing like this beautiful streamlined work of art we call OA.

Itās worth it to see spuds fans tears so much delusion, so much hope, then so quickly crushed. Plus I get up a 6 to pick up the little one so itās better than watching milkshake and the assortment of crappy kids TV.

Thanks for the kind words @BizzySignal .
I make a living by designing optimal user experiences and making digital products look good. Naturally I have the passion to do this for OA as well. I have since the day I joined! Not just because I browse this site all the time and every small detail regarding bad UX/UI annoys me but because I really like this community. Like many others have already stated: itās special.
For me living in Holland makes it harder to relate to Arsenal matters, most people I know only care about English clubs when there are Dutch players. OA has made me feel closer to the club and fans, ever since 2005 
I even met some of you and was able to score tickets!
I donāt consider the stuff I do for OA as āworkā. As this place gives me a lot in return. Even though I donāt heavily participate in discussions I try and read most of it.
So yeah, I love this place man.
Ah shit, got something in my eye. Brb.

I want to complain that heās getting all the credit but if Iām honest all I ever do round here is move posts from one thread to another, or if I canāt be arsed just threaten to delete peopleās posts.
What I will do though is give a shout out to @Craigie though, he does a lot to keep the site ticking over, but itās all behind the scenes, so I donāt think most are aware of it.
Him and @Bl1nk are constantly having conversations about things I donāt understand, I gave up reading them a long time ago, now I just scroll by, trusting that weāre all in good hands.
Also, @Shill

Yeh all the time because I never proof read my post till Iāve posted. I donāt know much about coding but I assume we all have evil doppelgangers trying to edit our posts at the same time that we do. So do we go into the matrix to fight them to the death Highlander style or no?

Keen for this. Never killed a man before, feel like itās something everyone should try at least once.

Youāll be killing yourself, or at least your evil online persona. Well know youāve lost if you come out different, fond of Norwegians and large dogs
Itās a risk Iām willing to take because no way Iām trying to proof read my posts below posting them.

Yeah same as @Castiel I never proof read when I post, so when I go to edit the post after I get that notification. Itās only a minor inconvenience though.
