What a wonderful community Perlmonks is :)

I remember the change well. Just like you, I hadn't been around long and was just starting to feel my way. I remember looking at the XP levels soon after I joined and noticing that when you reached a certain level (around about 600XP, I think), you could do stuff like approve and moderate. That looked pretty cool, so that became my first goal. Those first 600XP seemed to take forever - but finally, I made it. Woop!.

So the first thing I did was enable my approval nodelet, and I was ready to go!

Next morning, I logged in and my approval nodelet had disappeared!! #%*!!$# Petruchio and his stinking level playing field (just kidding ;)

Talk about bad timing... sheesh!

But it's all good. Tomorrow I will have been a part of Perlmonks for exactly one year. I've gotten so much from this community in the past year. Help, advice, encouragement and friendship. I feel like I need to stick around for another 20 years now, just to try and give some of that back.

And you, my friend - please keep those obfuscations coming - your wizardry is definitely one of the highlights of Perlmonks!
