Felt like posting here because you nerds should know that I care
KylerAdams - He definitely sits up top here, he's always been patient as hell with me. He taught me how to hack and smooth models, and he's critiqued almost every single one of my rigs -- he's found models for me, given me ideas, just about everything. On top of that, he's a great guy! Best friend I've made since getting into modding Half-Life, definitely. Cheers!
Matt - the famous Matt of HIT! He's an ingenius coder, and he has (and still does, but not as much) put up with the assloads of questions I've had about Half-Life. Seriously, look at the ridiculous amount of threads I've started on HIT asking questions. He doesn't give any shit either - he answers very concisely and honestly.
Ambient.Impact - Seriously, who hasn't heard of this guy? He's taught me tons about Goldsource too, he really knows what he's talking about too. We have the best conversations about nerdy Half-Life stuff. He's practically an encyclopedia for Goldsource and anything relating to it, really. He's helped me out countless times.
Slider - I met him near the beginning of my journey. At first I didn't really know who he was or why he talked to me, but now I [think] I do; we've talked quite a bit and he's a great guy, really knows his shit. Great modeller and always there to help.
Sporkeh - Didn't really know you before I joined here, really. Don't know you that well now either, but you're so blunt with your comments, no bullshittery, makes me laugh. Plus, your modelling skills are impressive. Animating skills? Dunno, I have yet to see anything by you.
Cliffton_Vlodhammer - You know your stuff, and you do it right. Good stuff man. You seem like a pretty cool guy.
JohnChronic - I think you were the first person I ever really talked to on HIT! You've been incredibly helpful, taught me some really basic things with GIMP... I'm definitely addicted to GIMP now. Your texturing skills are godlike! Was browsing the Too Much Time thread on HIT the other day, and saw an LR300 screenshot you posted. Holy shit!
DiamonD - Ashiq, where are you? It's not the same without you! You've really grown up in the past few years, and learned so much. You taught me how to repose skeletons - an invaluable tool, it's helped me out innumerable times. You're funny as hell, messing with that sheridan guy on HIT. Classic.
Thomas - I remember I went to you for help early on, when I was trying to learn model hacking. Though I didn't really get it at the time, it totally makes sense now! You're a good guy too, thanks for being there!
and last, but certainly not least...
RaZ777 - a.k.a. Headcrusher or gi777 - this guy. You're a funny guy, and, dunno if you remember this, but... you walked me through my very first model hack! Rigging an F2000 on an hgrunt. That was almost a year ago, I've definitely learned much since then, but without you teaching me with that first step, I never would've progressed. Thanks mate!
