Hugs are better than whitelists ;)

Happiness has to be a lot of colors, because sadness is pretty greyscale.

Same. Even here I'm not very popular as I have poor social skills and never know what to say :P But I'm trying ;)

Just spam comment what you have in mind about some subject or say a joke that occurred with you(even if is lame, it works sometimes).
It has been working for me so far. it could work better, but I can't complain.
Also marvelous speech, couldn't make it better (and I've tried!).

I think I'm having the accelerated experience...it's only been about a week, and I'm already addicted loving the experience here. I guess I found this site with dual desires in mind - looking for "deals" and freebies, but also wanting to find a nice home for all of my extra keys, so maybe that helped. Nobody really knows me here yet, and I'm probably still looked on with a bit of hesitation until I've "proven myself", but at no point did I feel unwelcome or uncomfortable, and everyone I've had any direct interaction with has been super nice. I wasn't really looking for an online community - I had one once in a game world, but some ultra-competitive elements eventually poisoned it. I guess I found exactly what I didn't even know I was looking for. :)

Well now my write up of me coming to embrace the site feels inadequate.
I wonder why so many people associate happiness with yellow, is it because of the smiley, ingrained in pop culture? Probably. I would probably associate happiness with yellow too, if I didn't hate the color. I feel that happiness is best represented with the color brown.

Happiness is like dirt, it allows beautiful or wonderful, whichever one makes the quote sound better things to sprout and grow.

One of 3 greatest and most inspiring communities I saw!
Uh, what's the other 2?

My guess was 4chan and reddit, but yeah, that would work too ;P

I might mislead you as the other two aren't virtual communities, they happend in real life. First one was my studies group which was extraordinary, we've spent lots and lots of time together and it was almost like a family. It was bunch of really kind and friendly people. The second one is improv and it is family. Imagine SG only in real life with love, hugs, kind words, appreciation, and acceptance on every step you take. And I mean for real. Some of my course-mates joined the second and third level course only because we had such a fantastic atmosphere in our group. The courses ended 3 months ago and we still invite each other for dinners to our homes just to spend more time together. But not only our group were great, all improviser are probably the nicest people you could possibly met. I have to say that our group were considered as the most integrated (don't know if it is the right word for being knowing each other very well, being together etc, I'll check it later) one because of, you know... hugs :)

I think happiness has to be all those colors, because everyone have a different view of what it is to be happy.
Also happiness should be colourful :)

You've given away some of my favorite games (Uncle, Dark Eye, Daedalic), so you're okay in my book.

Very nicely put. The cliffhanger makes me curious of course: what are the other two great communities you know of?
Comment has been collapsed.
This topic is really mice and all. Really. Yes.

This community helped me (even tho indirectly, and without really knowing) when I was down, and I felt in love with this. Never found this anywhere else in the internet.
I just hope this never ends.

... You always teach me something good.
At the beggining I was thinking You are free games bank. I've entered some giveaways and I've quickly forgot about you as I didn't understand You. After half a year, or so, I came back and I've made my first giveaway. Something good happened to me at the time and I thought I should share my happiness with people one way or another. I've discovered that giving is as nice feeling as receiving in that time. Then I started to live Your life. I've discovered forum, puzzles, Your lovely community... I've discovered whitelists... I've added some people to my whitelist. For me whitelist is people who you'd like to have at your side, near you. And I wanted to be on somebody's whitelist too. But I wanted giveaways. I was thinking only about myself. But Your community showed me that this is just wrong. People were suggesting their friends to be added on other's whitelists and I thought I'm such an ass. From that moment I started to suggest people I like who might be interested in whitlist-game. I've discovered that caring about other people is beautiful. I was feeling great when it turned out that one of Your members added me to his whitelist too (some were so unexpected I missed the giveaways) but the greatest feeling was to see my friends were there. I've discovered blacklists too... And I've learned that everybody's need a second chance because I wasn't perfect too, so I never add people on my blacklist permanent. I'm giving them second chance after a month or so, just to see if they prove themselves. If they won't, then I have faith in You, Steamgifts - I am not here to judge.
It was great to find such a beautiful thing like You and Your community, Steamgifts. One of 3 greatest and most inspiring communities I saw!
Love,
Jon
