Something from Shim

[ShimonMoore]

I must admit I'm proud.
I have spent most of my life wanting to be a part of something.
And every time I come on this board I see more and more people connecting.
The connection is what is important. And even though that connection is found because of Sick Puppies, it then grows into a community where more and more things are discussed. And before you know it, Sick Puppies is nothing more than the title above the forum. The forum itself has actually turned into something that we all own together. It's something we are all equally part of.
I wish I had found something like this when I was a kid for myself.
And it makes me proud that I was able to help create something that I would have given anything to be a part of when I was younger.
Thankyou guys
Shim

Wow, that was beautiful<3

beautiful indeed

[pintosp]

That was beautiful and its true we all are becoming a community, this is why I love you guys so much because you guys give back to the fans as much as possible, I know this forum is run by individuals beyond yourselves but that goes to show how dedicated some of your fans are, but honestly everything from the ustream to signing after every show no matter the number of people its what makes us love you that much more, your grateful for every fan and every show because you guys play your hearts out from 800 fans to 22,500 fans I know because I've seen it. Thank you shim, emma, and mark for giving me something to be apart of because this band has become part of my identity, I also want to thank everyone on this site for keeping this going and spreading the love throughout the forum, never have I seen a following this great with any band nor the band caring enough to give as much back. So Sick Puppies my hat is off to you and may there be many great years to come, and hopefully someday you will be playing to sold out stadiums with 50 thousand people chanting your name waiting for the moment for Sick Puppies to stroll on stage Guitar, Bass, and Drum Sticks in hand ready to give the masses the best rock show of their lives.

[Susanna]

Can't think of a better band to build a family with and for as a community of great people together with common interests. <3

Thank YOU Shim for bringing everyone together! If you would have had somewhere like this place, Sick Puppies may not be here today and we wouldn't have this wonderful place and then I would be a sad Missy No seriously though... I would do absolutely anything for anyone in this family and I honestly feel they would do the same for me. I feel honored each and every day to be a part of this and I look forward to the future because I know it can only get better.

Ever since the start of this forum I have felt a special bond with this awesome group of people - we all came here for one similar passion - Sick Puppies . But it has grown into something so much more than that - and I know that I , along with many others , have formed some very special friendships with people that I probably would have never met ... but because of this forum they are a part of my life and I have SP to thank for that

Shim - It may have taken you a few more years than you had hoped to become a part of something as special as this ... but I think it was definitely worth the wait .

Shim, Emma and Mark - thank you for being the amazing people that you are <33

[Kemmy]

I never expected to find what I did once I became a part of this community - an amazing group of people, many of which I now consider close friends and family. Thank you Shim, Mark and Emma for being not only a kick ass band but such great people and allowing us into your world as well. It's an honour to be there to help out and watch you guys grow and grow. I'm proud to be a part of this.

Thank you for your heartfelt words, Shim. It means a lot

That was, indeed, beautiful. I have only been a member of these forums for a week, since seeing SP in St. Louis, but I am amazed by all that I have seen and read on these forums. I have never seen anything like it, and I am proud to have become a part of it. I went from being somebody who just liked the songs I had heard on the radio, to having SP plastered on my Myspace, buying all their music, joining these forums, and telling everyone who will listen about the band and these forums in the span of one week because of how special this community and band are. I can only hope that I can be a much more integral part of the community going forward, as it seems I have missed out on so much.

Very sweet words, Shim! Thank you for the wonderful music!

[Justine]

You can be proud, Shim
When I first came on this board, I wasn't expecting to find so many great people !
I was excited to know I'd be able to help the band, but now that I know SPWC is such an amazing family, I feel so lucky to be a part of it, it's such a great feeling.

[Stacey]

That was beautiful....this is a great place filled with great people. I hope that I can continue to give back to the three of you what you have given to all of us.

[frodolover36]

aw Shim that was incredible....

thank you so much for all that you do as well. This is why we love you as much as we do. You guys are honestly one of the only bands where i have felt their appreciation for what we do. We do it for you. because you deserve it.

I have said many times on here how much i love everyone and how i have really connected with people on here. if i have something to vent about i know i have somewhere to go where people will care and help me with anything i need. I love all of you!

[Regan]

Aw...that WAS beautiful. I love this place, and I'm proud to be a part of this. I love every person in this family. They're some of the few people I know will always be there.

Thanks for all YOU do, Shim, Mark, and Emma. You make sure we feel your appreciation, and you're always great to us. #2

Thanks Shim - It is truly our pleasure! And you are SO right about this being a very special place. I have also met some wonderful people and made some new friends just because of SPWC.

Thanks to Shim, Emma & Mark for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the world crew!
