~this is to all members of the ATHQ...out of curiosity, i was wondering the following - what does the Apocalypse Tribe mean to you?

[The JadeDragon]

Hmmm well I'll give my opinion as someone who is just a forum member and not a guild member...

I think this place rocks lol. I had heard once or twice about AT, but it was never anyone saying "Hey come to AT we kick ass", it was maybe just a mention here and there. I also prolly seen a link or something in people's sigs at different sites but i'm not the kinda person who spends alot of time paying attention to other people's sigs. The first time I came to the site was when all the FFXI hype started because it sounded like it had more FFXI info than Shotie's Arcade.

A few of the members I had known for a while and never even knew that they were members here. Wurm and Rogue were the main two that I knew from the Arcade. Some people like Crush I had only known of, but not known from PSO and PSOW. So when I registered for the forums...I thought it was cool to already know(and know of) a few people here. I wasn't sure of what people thought of me because in my earlier days I had been known as a menace at some other forums. I was once voted at PSOW(in a tie with a friend of mine Greg aka Gally) the most annoying member in one of their retarded little polls. I had also been known by visitors of The Arcade as a bit of an attitude problem/bitch or whatever else people called me.

With that being said...the day that made me really feel welcomed here was the day I got my LS pearl from Dive and Bryn. I had spoken to Dive on occasion here and at TA but we weren't really great friends. But when we met up in game so I could get a pearl, he and the other members he was with treated me no different than a guild member. I had never met Bryn let alone talked to her but she made a pretty long trip and even gave up her chocobo to give me a pearl. Now getting off your choco may not seem like much, but to someone like me who hasn't been around long it was a great feeling. She could have said...ehhh fuck this newbie bitch...i'm out. But she didn't...and that brings me to what AT means to me...

It's a place of friendly people who are willing to help out others. It's a place where when I click the link to the site in my fav's list...I don't have to worry about any drama, any problems or about being treated different because i'm not part of the "IN" crowd. So even though this is long and prolly don't make much sense to you guys...it's clear to me. The Tribe is a place online to call home. A place with friends who care and will help. So with that being said...I'd like to say thanx to Dive. Every time I had a question or comment...he was always quick with an answer or help, and that made me feel alot more welcome...

So like I said at the start...The Tribe rocks...
