Thanks, lol.
In most of them you'll find me being yelled at by other pro's such as user. But then again I guess it increases my knowledge.
A year ago I didn't know what tcl was. I never learned it myself, just got the hang of it within a few months. I started myself, just knew the basics of languages like C, syntaxes, structures etc. A year ago I used to ask help on forums, "please help me how to do this, please make this script for me", and now I get emails, privmsgs on forums, on irc etc from newbies saying the same to me.
I wanted my eggdrop to be different (as is use my own scripts) hence I used to open up notepad and first started to modify small pieces of codes, scripts, I used to download from the web. When I got the idea, I tried to improve it and put new idea's into it, generally leading towards new scripts and so on. Never really looked at this from a work point of view, just as a hobby. My major is not even near computers or any computing language.

Now I atleast know that I can create some working code, not the best, not the most efficient but it would work someway or not, heh after hell alot of debugging and tweaking. I guess, I would still like to help apart from being busy. Also would try to create more scripts for the public and release them in the future (currently have don't know how many pending!). My general knowledge about eggdrops isn't good as others, (never went through the source code even) but hope it increases as time passes. People learn from experience.
Lastly as for the 1000th post, I've gained alot of knowledge regarding tcl over the past year, especially with the help of this forum and also because of the interaction with the users in here. I don't say a person with 1000 posts can be considered a pro, it just shows how much time and energy you devote. Some pro's I've seen very seldomly post, but this doesn't mean there not considered good of having less posts to their profile.
Thanks for all your support, and help, love ya guys!
