My little corner of FA went nuts yesterday.
Today is my 1 year anniversary of joining this fandom.
I clearly remember sitting down at this computer and creating
my profile. In two weeks I had ten watchers. A few weeks ago
I hit two hundered. I have always felt gratified when someone
takes the the time to watch. It seems like a big deal to me.
When I turned on my computer yesterday, excited to see all the cool
comments and neat folks who stopped by, I was greeted by
"2,368 messages." WTF? I thought I was on someone else's page,
or that FA had changed formats, or my computer was possessed.
It took several minutes to believe that those messages were for me.
I was, and still am, completely overwhelmed.
Part of my pleasure with FA came from answering every single comment,
thanking for each fave (long time watchers are rolling their eyes now,)
and acknowledging each new watch. It will take me several days to read
all the comments alone; it seems an impossible task to answer each one.
That actaully makes me sad. The interaction of FA is what I love the most!
I want to thank everyone who has stopped by in the last year. You have
made this old dog very happy. I REALLY want to answer each new
comment, fave and watch, but I'm going to have to settle for a group effort.
THANK YOU TO EACH OF YOU. You made me shed tears of joy.
I am so sorry that I am unable to respond in a more personal way.
I was not even able to keep up with the page shouts, so I may have
missed a request or question before they rolled off my page.
I have no words to describe how I feel.
Please don't respond to this submission by saying something about
how I deserve the recogniton. This is not about me, it's about all of you.
This fandom makes me proud and happy. It has changed my life
in many postiive ways. I have met the greatest people and made
lifetime friendships.
I can't imagine what the next year will bring....

I'll take the time to say, the photo and story of Sarah really touched a lot of us. That's what fursuiting is all about. Bringing a smile to people's faces. Giving them a chance to forget reality for just a little while. It's why I started doing it. To become your inner beast and bring joy to others is truly something very special. >"^_^"<
Hee hee! You've discovered the secret! All the activity on your page isn't admiration, its just an effort to drive you crazy responding to everyone! Hey! That's the FA way! ;)
Seriously guy, you deserve every bit of the positive attention your getting. You are making people think of how they can improve themselves. That's some crazy influence you have there!

Dogbomb,
My life went to hell this recent week, and I had contemplated leaving Furaffinity for good. Because any time I turn around it feels like people are using and abusing me. And it hurts. And then I got that random shout from you the other day, and it was like.. well I cant leave DB behind.. You kept me here. And you better be thankful for it! :P But in all reality I had been second guessing my Furryness for a while now. Wondering if I really belong here. Because sometimes it feels like I dont. Everyone on my watchlist has a fursuit or is planning to get one. I've totally given up hope on that one. Seriously.
Secondly, everyone here seems to be an artist, where all I have is photography and writing and it sucks, 'cause not alot of people read what I post - when I write, and I dont have a huge following like alot of people I know. I dunno, I've just been contemplating alot lately and I wonder.. sometimes.
But you're one of the few people I truely consider a friend. And to me, its an honor to have you as one.
There, I'll jump off my soapbox now. :)

<3 you have no need to thank us! You would have been THIS "popular" before, had you not been overseen! like a diamond among other gems, you were just buried, someone picked you up and dusted you off and let the rest see! It is a shame not to be able to read all the comments, hey on a rainy day you can scroll through and let your heart be warmed by the love :3 But no one is a miracle working... like celebrities who say "Every single email and msg I receive I read!" Hiiighly doubtful :D Keep on doin what you do best! :3
Wow, Dog. You've been in the fandom for a year, and seem to have made 100 times the impact I ever have in my 17. That's truly amazing. You're a really passionate and outgoing guy. I really hope I get the chance to meet you someday and go fursuiting with you in my new ferret suit. That is, if you ever attend FurFright.
i know you said not to but i just have to say that you as well have brought something special to my life. i love getting your submissions and reading them knowing 9 times out of 10 it will make me tingly or maybe even cry. you are one amazing dog. and i love you for it. *hugs tightly* thank you for being you dogbomb.

That is SOOOOOO Santa Monica beach in the background.
I hope you continue to have good experiences in the fandom. I don't want to dampen the party, but please, do not get complacent. The fandom can be a scary place. I almost kind of sort of had the pleasure of meeting you at AC. Sadly, I was still rather in my shell and wasn't really up to meeting too many people. I hope next time around can be different.
Enjoy the beach! I used to bodysurf, and remember very clearly being way out near the end of the pier there, catching a 6 footer, and body surfing it all the way into shore. I suffered brain damage a few years ago, and lost many of my memories. Seeing photographs of places I have been where exciting things happened often brings me back. I remember many more things about Santa Monica beach that I didn't before seeing the picture here. Thanks for that. And what a great way to remember - a fursuit in the foreground.

Lolol, I knew this was going to happen, you're just so popular now.
I was always wondering how your going to manage replying to all those people now that I see like 150 or more comments on your posts >;v
We all know you appreciate the comments, but wow that's a lot of messages. Furries who have fursuits are a lucky few.
I KNOW I'D DO ANYTHING FOR ONE. Anyway dose this mean Dogbomb is one year old now :D

Happy coincidence of this being your anniversary, and you getting so much recognition.
I read through some of your submissions yesturday, and I had a tear in my eye. You're what this fandom should be known for. A good kind soul who knows what furry is and knows how to talk to people and be kind to people.
Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. So often we see bad things in this fandom, then there is someone like you, who make s a difference and truly has a good heart and soul. I'm so glad you got featured in a community on LJ known normally for the bad things. I'm glad so many people saw you and saw what you do for the fandom.

Happy anniversary! And wow, seriously you have to be one of the nicest furson in this fandom. It is a pleasure watching you, every photo comes with a heartwarming story that is described in such detail I can imagine being there. I pray that next time any media intends on destroying the furry fandom and making us all look like crazy they run into you, because you would seriously change the way people think of us. :P
Oh, I can tell you what this year's gonna bring! A whole heck of a lot of Dingo+Dogbomb time, that's what! :)
A true gift to know such a genuine person as yourself-- you're one of the most caring, compassionate, and selfless people I know out there; you live for others and you deserve only the best. <3
I'm so fortunate to know someone as yourself... and hey, I may be a bit biased in my affection to you, seeing as how we're in the same career field*, hehe..
*That being that we dress up in giant canine costumes, duh. ....oh, and tha we might also be fellow vet techs. ;)

To my 'owner' Dogbomb:
if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that you are definitely worthy of the praise and love you've been getting as of late. You're a great fur and a great friend. You're a shining example of what a furry with a kind heart should be and I'm proud to know you, if only for that reason. You are, without a doubt, one of the nicest furs I've ever met, and I love you for it.

You are an amazing guy, dogbomb - your stories and experiences have brought me a smile to my face each and every single time. It's nice to know that you bring a happy, fun-loving, and caring personality; both to the people you meet, and the people here on FA.
It's a pleasure to be watching you - and thanks for a year of good vibrations

Wow, over 2000 messages huh? I'm lucky if i get 20! x3
Happy Furry-versary, Dogbomb! And, It's very hard to accept thanks from the dog who helped me jump into the fandom, when I should be thanking HIM a million times over for his encouragement and faith in this little wuffle's trials and tribulations. Your welcome for everything! Here's to another good year! I can't wait to suit with you again. ;)
I have to say, if it hadn't been for you, who knows if I would have found a fursuit maker in time, and had the chance to suit at AC, and meet all the awesome furs that I did, including a certain Shep that we both know very well! So, I know it goes against you're wishes my friend, but THANK YOU for the inspiration and belief that I could, would, and HAVE become a successful suiter. If anything, I owe you a little thanks.
Take care big guy, and Congratulations. :3

*spastic waggs* I am so glad that 1 year ago, you decided to make an FA account and join a fandom which does nothing but good. If anything, the furry fandom helps us be more human and reminds us what it is like to interact with others using love and kindness vs fear and agenda. I am so lucky to have collided with such an energetic and sincere person and I am proud to share the fandom with you.
"Just a world that we all must share, It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?" - Gilmore and Waters would appreciate what the fandom is really about I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI_sv5uswoY
Cheers to many more happy years in the fandom DB! *hugs*

I think my shout rolled off your page a mere 30 seconds after I made it, but it went something like this:
You're my hero. If ever there is a chance to drive down to HB one weekend and meet you, that would be so amazing. Your stories are touching, meaningful, and inspiring. I've never known of a more caring and kind individual. You're awesome. :3
Happy one year!

This definitely was a surprising though wonderful sight. It is definitely my pleasure to have been amongst the many that have helped make FA let alone the rest of the fandom become such a meaningful place for you. ^..^ I daresay it was also a pleasure meeting you in person at AC as I did. Wasn't entirely sure what to expect considering I only started watching you no more than a month ago but it was awesome. ^..^
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought when I drew you that first badge on a whim that you would become one of the most important people in my life. ;u; I thank this crazy fandom for bringing me such an angel as yourself. Tony you are all that is right in this world. I can't wait to have the honor of sharing your company again and soon. I'm sorry if the hug I intend to give you becomes too long/ribcracking/awkward.
Keep posting and inspiring all of us.
I know this year you will bring us many more smiles through your stories.
You the BOMB DOG!

Your photos and their always-interesting stories always have such a positive message in them, and I am very thankful for the uplifting feelings you end up puttin' in me. ^..^ I'd had a lot of negative things go on in my life, that sometimes the bad is all I can focus on. So...your positive nature helps. <3 A lot. Thank you!
