Nicely done, Ben. (Oh, and nice avatar, too, I must say.) And congrats to the honorable mentions, as well.
Well, post 1,001, and what a nice surprise!
I've been reading a lot of these and I must say, T11 has done quite a lot for everyone here. I can't wait to see what year number two brings. More boundaries pushed, more amazing magic, and more respect for this art.
Congrats to T11, and Happy Birthday.

theory11 and i are about the same age in existance in the magic world but learned of it and join the forums in january when control was coming out..
personally theory11 i think stands not just for the evolution of the art but respect for it as well
evolution: i've grown in the magic world so fast learned so much things from it back then the only slieght i know is the DL for sure the most important move youll ever learn.. this community of performers we know as Theory11 has made so much more than just producing great products for us to enjoy but made the magic world together i mean not all but look at it this way im from the philippines but i can share my views my thoughts or what ever stupid questions i came up with to the rest of the world i can post something and a guy from the U.S,UK,UAE or even singapore could reply to it... and bringing us together is the evolution of magic us thinking us one or sharing a same goal and thats the improvement of this are
respect: ive learned to respect the art even more and because of that i did what i have to do to make a positive view to magic everytime i take out my theck out of my pocket i also learned that its not the fame or the girls and not even me.. its about the look on their faces that makes me want to be better its that instance where we see magic in their eyes... just seeing that make everything so rewarding and so worth it.....
for the future i really hope this would grow to much larger community i really want to see one of us be the future of this art andrei took the first step for flourishing i urge everyone to do the same......
thanks t11 and goodluck guys....

I thought I should write something even though the time has passed.
Theory11, I remember being the strongest proponent against hype, but then I saw myself up at 4am searching for clues to the next pages last summer.
What is Theory11? That question was strongly debated, but for me it's a place for new friendships, entertainment, astonishment, wonder, fun, etc. There's a reason why the Theory11 forums are my homepage. I love these forums more than any. The atmosphere here seems so much more "a l'aise" than other forums. It's professionals and amateurs together learning and teaching.
If there's one thing that pops out at you at Theory11 is the sense of humor. That is something I find puts Theory11 above all other places. Some places take things way to seriously when in fact they should all lighten up. I come here to laugh with friends that frankly I've never met and probably will never meet.
Something else happened, I made friends with some of the artists and creators. Something I never thought possible. The possibility to mingle with the beloved artists of a site never seemed possible. I thought they were on a different level of awesome that they'd never stoop down to our "forum" levels.
But the results were surprising! I'm sure everyone can agree that their presence in the forums and around the Theory11 community is simply overwhelming.
I don't know what I'm trying to say with this, but I'd really like to say thank you to everyone. To JB for creating a wonderful home for so many people, to the Artists for giving your time to put your material on the market, to the forum members for helping one another and making friends.
Thank you Theory11 for a terrific year!

I'm not one for long speaches, and I'm not entering in the contest (since its over), however I will throw some thoughts on the table later tonight, in the meantime:
2,000 posts over the course of 1 year. Wow.
Love,
Jon

Wow, thank you for the mention. And believe me, given the circumstances that were unforseen (had to change my act last minute), I was also extremely nervous even though I've competed a couple of other times without a hitch. I thought you did a great job and I was sorry to see the rope mishap! Hopefully it flew over a lot of people's heads. Can't be too sure.
