I've been playing a lot of MH lately, especially the originals, like MH1, the game that started it all for me. I'll never forget going to a bunch of different forums begging for help and understanding, trying to find people to play online with back then. And people were MEAN.

But then I stumbled onto this forum. And Gog, am I glad I did. I came here a few years after the release of Monster Hunter Tri, for some reason or another. Then I decided, "Why not? Why not join and see if I can contribute, I've been playing MH since 2004." Best choice I've ever made.

I made lifelong friends, memes before they were memes, countless hours in the chat box, trying WAY TOO HARD to be a mod, and just unforgettable memories (some good, some bad). Hell, I wrote a damn fanfic of Monster Hunter that was, first of all, terrible, and also, way popular than I thought it would be.

This forum, especially the OG members (from my time) helped me through a lot, mentally, without me ever saying so. We were, and most likely all still are, just a bunch of goofballs who came together because of one Fandom, and it's fantastic.

I miss all of you guys, for real. Hopefully I'll be able to maybe hunt monsters with some of you again!

With much love,
Hermz
