This site, and wotmania before it, are just amazing places. That people were able to connect with random internet strangers, and truly have real friendships (that in many cases become in person friendships) is just amazing. I know that for myself I never really made those friendships, but the site and the people still were a major part of my life when I lurked in those earlier days, and had a huge impact on my development.
Condolences to all who knew Trigger
