I feel exactly the same way, we did really build something strong in those early days. It was that mixture of curiousity, overwhelm and confusion that really helped me to strengthen the bond with everyone then, and I can never underestimate the power of being part of a community and getting involved. I love the term batchmates and we've certiainly all grown a lot in the last 6 months,
It's also been so much fun!
I hope some other new members are able to do the same and see the benefit in the friends they make now.
Phil I swear that kindness you did me by writing me out of STEEM Lords... Doesn't matter how big or small my account is, you'll always be on my auto vote 👌
Being part of a community was the ultimate game changer wasn't it? We went from Team Aus, me to SteemPh, you to Steemsilvergold, and of course TheAlliance.
7 months in I don't think we're doing too bad :)
I hope the newbies see the benefit too. I know my Steemit life would be shit without you guys.
Awww, that was a fun steemit moment eh? I guess we'll always have that special bond! I'm pretty sure the designer of the first ever Steem Silver Round has a permanent place on mine too!
