You only NEED 50 QUALITY POST -- I my self am not here to buy any thing --and that's the only reason you need the 50 . I did NOTICE YOUR NOT A Supporter . I usually don't go around pointing that out - but since you asked about my QUALITY POST , I figured id point that out . Oh and here read this for your entertainment . Thank You Sir and have a wonderful day .


Its 3:11 AM no one has posted in all of INGO in the last 1/2 hour , we need 281 till 6M .
I was going to try and save this long post for the 100K , but decided to do it now . A lot of the people wont see it - oh well ,they never understood the whole Post Whoring thing any ways .
Like most I found INGO while looking for info on a gun that I was having trouble with . That was August 28 2009 , I joined right up and the people were great , I got help and the gun was fixed . I did a lot of reading and lurking , once in a blue moon ,I posted . I did this for almost 2 years ,never noticing the OSUT , then one day I wondered in . It was the time of the PDubs , HandK , HotPockets , DKrussier , onebadV8, magicman ,jd4320, and a few more . I read and learnt that HandK was one of the founding members of the OSUT , I guess there was a hell of a bunch of guys that wanted a place to just BS ,and at first it kept getting deleted, but they kept opening a new one and then Post Whoring was - lets just say invented lol , at times no one would be on so the person that was ,would talk to them self's of just post smileys or one word post -- they would go on runs to see how many post they could make before some one stopped them , well I guess at that time there was no 15 sec rule - so the posting like that was slowing the server down , then the dreaded 15 sec rule was born .
When I finally started posting ,HandK was one of the first to welcome me and pretty much took me under his wing . Hotpockets was great she was right there giving a noob help . Hotpockets and DKrusser were planning a meet and greet . Hotpockets made sure to let me know I was welcomed and was a PDub . November 19, 2011 I went to my first Meet and greet , I couldn't stay long cause of my Granddaughter Birthday party . But I Met HotPockets , DKrussier and HandK and onebigV8 and got to chat with them a while before more showed up . You couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere . I knew I had found a home ,a great group of people .
From there is was up and on , I started hosting events with the help of Hotpockets ,DKrusser and HandK , OnebadV8 . Well as time went by we all got closer ,. We all became family , jd4320 would call me dad once in awhile ( we have a inside joke on that ) Hotpockets started calling me Uncle Shadow -- HandK loved it ,so I started calling him Uncle Gary . We talked a lot - I mean a lot -- here , text ,phone ..
I was not a Post Whore at the time , I barley posted , oh id jump in the conversation ,but I didn't run , Until !!!! We had a guy on here that was a bit of a PITA and he made a comment one day that pissed me off , I was at 7000 post and he was at I think 15 ~ 17K , He stated I could never catch him , Uncle Gary seen it and PM'ed me and said catch him - you can do it - you've seen how I do it -- run , run like the wind , I want to see you catch him and pass him . So it was on -lol - I ran ,caught him and pasted him , it then became a passion . Uncle Gary and I talked about being the first to reach 50K . I started catching up to him and when I ws close I slowed way down . It wasn't long I got a PM from Uncle Gary asking why I had slowed down , when I told him out of respect for him , I wanted him to reach it first .. He said No I want you to run don't slow down . So I did and then we started talking about the goal of 100K .
Uncle Gary and I had some very long deep talks, this man ment the world to me . There was no better caring soul around , he went full out for family and friends . His heart was so big and made of gold . If you knew him , you know this is true . We lost Uncle Gary last winter - when that call came in - I dropped the phone and bawled like a baby , it was a crunch to us all , the man that we came to know and love so much - was called home . I started pulling out of the OSUT and then my computer crashed , but at the time I really didn't care , it was a empty time .
When I came back - I found a different OSUT , I didn't know what was going on and then I started talking to CM and Skulldaddy . CM invited me to some shoots and we started talking a lot , Skulldaddy some ware got my number and started texting me ,lol . and we was yacking like we've know each other for years . With them pushing and prodding I was back up and running for the 100K . Their a special kind of people .
This was just a piece of history - there is a whole list of names I would love to list - but there is just to many -- But Know This Each and Every One Of You Mean Some Thing Special To Me And Are A Part Of Me.
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL - God Bless You All

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Sylvain again.

Shadow, I was near the same when I stumbled into the OSUT. It was odd to me as I do not tweet and do the book of face thing in that way.
Sam, Mrs.G, Sunshine and others made me welcome.
In this I have made some of the best friends I have ever had.
They are a group of folks that would and have dropped what they are doing to assist in any way they can when some one is in need if only a place to vent.
From that group we have found that the coin rules. We are international.....
In my time here I have had my opinions and even my lifes view altered/modified for the better.
Now, as a Mod I have the opportunity to look after a place that has been a big part of my life for a while.
Not just posting but Meet&eats/organized shoots/buying more guns than I really need (such a thing...) and just a sense of family over all.
I have bought a lot of cheeseburgers.....

I remember you coming into the OSUT , not posting a lot . I remember talking a lot to you and felt a some what bond ,, then life happened and I was gone for awhile. I also remember when I did wonder back and you striking up a conversation ---As it has been said and will be said - The Coin Rules !!!
