@swirlix @ChimbroDaPro wow… I can’t believe it! TEN THOUSAND LIKES!! 
You can still see on the UniqueAThon website I started entering competitions at just 208 likes, and even then it was ASTONISHING that two hundred and eight people would enjoy something I made 0_0 It was due to all the love and support on the forums that I became so optimistic and eager to return that love back to the forums! (16.6k likes given now… and no plans on stopping XD)
Ten thousand is just such an unfathomable number, mostly because I always feel like I’m just hanging around on here for fun with friends! 
The thought that my silly little games and extensions could really inspire so many is truly beautiful. (At least, inspire them enough to like so many of my posts XD)
But it’s also nice to know that regardless of the numbers… I was doing the same thing 
No matter if I was at 100, 1000, or 10000 likes, I was still logging on every day to interact on the forums and enter competitions. I’ve never met such a supportive and creative community that is so willing to help others and take on challenges. Together we’ve pushed MakeCode into new dimensions, advocated for awareness and change, supported eachother through hard times, and expressed the deepest parts of ourselves.
I know, that’s a little cheesy, but it’s true-- this isn’t just a coding forum. It’s a real, passionate community that works to build people up.
Thank you, and the entire community, for supporting me 
I don’t even think I would be a game developer without this forum. MakeCode is really my life now… Everyday I’m either on here, coding in Makecode, or making Makecode videos. And it’s all due to everyone on here : )
Thank you all! I hope MakeCode is always a big part of my life. Even if it isn’t, I’ll still carry the skills and compassion that you all have taught me 
TL;DR: The real likes were in our hearts the whole time
