I feel like I've never fully expressed this before, but this is probably my favourite place on the internet. Persona 5 is a great game. I enjoyed everything about it, and had fun for (almost) all 120+ hours I put into my first run. But that can't even compare to how much I enjoy being here, and that's the best thing Persona 5 has done for me. Back about 10 months ago, my friend recommended this game "Persona 5" to me, since he enjoyed it, and it was half off on the Playstation Store. I thought "eh, may as well, got no other games lined up." and so I bought it. And I got immediately sucked in. I played it everyday, from early mornings to late nights, so much that my parents actually started understanding things about the game just by being around me. I think I was about halfway through when I decided to look up "phansite" and see if there was one. When I did, I found this place, and decided to hop on. I made my account, but didn't use it much since I didn't want the game to be spoiled for me. Once I finished, however, I started coming here regularly. At first, it was mostly about Persona 5 stuff, as I had newly finished it, but once I started meeting people on here, that's when I started becoming "elmco". Before joining the Phansite, "elmco" wasn't really anything. It was around the time I had dropped a past username that is linked to cringey childhood memories, so I thought up a new one. At first, I used elmco as a curtain between the internet and myself, but I've realized by now that's incorrect. Through the people I've met here like Sarin, Queef, the mods, Gin, and yes, even Archer, elmco was taking on a new personality inside me; a persona, if you will. I even met my closest online friends, Nat and Cam, through a discord server I found on here one day. I remember my first time on PMs, where I heard some life lessons from Hikaru, Archer doxed himself to us (one of many times), and I encountered Gin and his many FE screenshots. Through an RP I even met some other good friends of mine, like Micah and Catn. This place created "elmco", and through that persona I've made many friends that I hope I can continue to chat and have fun with for many days to come. Though I've never actually met any of you, and though I don't have high opinions of everyone on here, I will say that each and every one of you I've talked to either on here, or on discord, have taken part in shaping my current online personality, and for that I must thank you. Thank you, Phansite, for making me who I am today, and for creating a safe space that I know I can always come back to. I'm grateful to have met everyone here.
