Arrow my "who has been posting the longest and never received an icon gift" contest.

lately i've been noticing people who have been posting here for YEARS..and don't have any icon gifts! sad so here is my contest....post here if you want to play. tonight i will re-read this thread and award the top 5 winners an icon gift. to win, you just have to be one of the 5 longest posting members, with no icon gifts next to their names.

ok...let's play.

I joined the forums in 2004. I am on the forums daily but I don't post very much. I would love to have an icon by my name.
