I wanted to say, as someone who has been obsessed with videogames since childhood, that even if we restrict icycalm's output to that mainly relating to videogames and videogame culture he is by far my favourite active writer, and Insomnia is — by light years — my favourite site on the internet.
I would also like to thank the people who have posted news over the past couple of years especially in recent times. The main reason that I started posting when I did was because I was seeing news on Insomnia that I was interested in but that I hadn't seen elsewhere, and it was also being presented in a very nice manner, so I felt like I should contribute. And a colossal thanks to icycalm for well, creating the site, and setting high standards.
Also the Online and Strategy boards are a great idea.
