Important Update For Long Time Texanstalk Members - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

HouSportsWriter · 04-14-2012

As many of you know. I have been criticized for so many years for my spelling related errors, and at this time. I will like to personally thank every one on this forum. I have pushed myself to the breaking point so many times, but yet none of you ever gave up on me. I have learned a lot from the past years. I started out trying to get my thoughts, and ideas out on this forum. I was made fun of for my spelling, punctuation, and so on. When I take the time to look back at some of my very first posts. I cant help but to smile. Just by being able to see how far I have come.

I have just got done finishing my G.E.D test on April second, and today I got the greatest news in my young life. I passed!

The reason I am thanking every one on here is, the highest score I got was writing. I was shocked to be honest, but when I got a chance to think clearly.

The first thing that came to my mind was this forum. The truth is if i did not stick to this forum, if I never been motivated to push my self. I would not of passed.

So I thank every one on this forum.

P.S.

I understand this is the wrong section. I wanted to get more views so more people would understand my gratitude.

**Ryan** · 04-14-2012

Congrats SIAB.

**ObsiWan** · 04-14-2012

Congrats!!
And let this be the beginning of bigger and better things for you.

GP · 04-14-2012

Well that is awesome, SIAB. Genuinely awesome. Rep sent your way.

I hope the mods leave this here for a day or two. You deserve to have it seen.

Congrats on your success. TexansTalk is sort of like a preparatory school...who would've thought it?

**infantrycak** · 04-14-2012

Congrats!

We will leave the thread here for a day or two and it is stickied as well.

HouSportsWriter · 04-14-2012

Thank you every one! =]

Texas T · 04-14-2012

Congrats on this huge accomplishment! You have definitely come along way.

+rep (very much deserved)

**mattieuk** · 04-14-2012

Haha - congratulations buddy. You've come a long way since the rookie SIAB days!

+rep.

NitroGSXR · 04-14-2012

Holy moley! Congratulations, Slatonisabeast!! I'm really happy for you. Much respect, fellow poster and future writer.

**Thorn** · 04-14-2012

It took me a second to figure out who you were, not because of your writing, but because I was trying to figure out who HouSportsWriter is.

I'm really happy to see this, in fact I'm ecstatic. Makes me glad I defended you against the grammer nazis, but it seems it was the grammer nazis that pissed you off enough to accomplish this. It sometimes happens that way, negative pressure works if done so in a motivating fashion. It has for me in the past.

So good luck. Why did you change your name from SIAB to HouSportsWriter anyway? Do you plan on doing some writing?

jaayteetx · 04-14-2012

Way to go, congratulations. This is just the beginning, move forward in life and do well. Know that there is nothing beyond your reach if you want it and are willing to work for it.

**GlassHalfFull** · 04-14-2012

Congrats!!!!! Great news and keep up the good work.

Edit: I just realized this was my 6K post. Glad I could use in on such a positive accomplishment.

JB · 04-14-2012

Awesome news bro! Congratulations to you and continue to push yourself to improve in all things!

**kiwitexansfan** · 04-14-2012

Good on you for pushing through all the criticism and making it a strength.

**Shaft75** · 04-14-2012

My hat's off to you SIAB.

I was one that really chastised you for your poor syntax, poor spelling, and incoherent posts. Tbh, my gut feeling was that you were an undercover Titan fan trying to be funny. At least me acting like an a-hole helped you out I guess. However, I do apologize and want to tell you congrats at the same time. You've come a very long way!

Now if you could just help Norg out a little...

CloakNNNdagger · 04-14-2012

A big welcome back ,SIAB.

Benjamin Franklin once said that "Little strokes fell great oaks.” This is your first "great oak." Keep up your hard work. I have no doubt that there will be many more oaks to fall for you!

bckey · 04-14-2012

Great job SIAB!

**Say Watt** · 04-14-2012

Awesome work man!!!! Very happy for you!

redwhiteANDblue · 04-15-2012

Awesome job man! I remember you from when I first joined texanstalk and laughed at your posts. Now you can laugh at me for doubting you! Great job and hoping for a great future
