Well i entered an SG event of One Week Of Wishlist - Giveaways and as i dont have much $$$ and i want XCOM2 (stil saving...and waiting) i made a small GA for one of my most wanted small games with this description.
on the same GA i made a kind man who's nick name is "Klinge" wrote this which made a whole circle and got me wining on his GA for the same game i wanted so much - but decided to give away ^_^
Klinge if you read this - just for you to know im still enjoying it very much until today ^_^

And i want to show another aspect of giving here in the community there are a lot of good people willing to share there knowledge and help for example nonamebg and a lot of others who helped me with linux issues (3 people actually took the time and tried to help me on steam chat...), in my eyes there acts are also GA.
nonamebg - if you read this the linux still up and running ^_^
there are good people here on the community and they deserve a big hug <^_^>

I made this discussion thread about how my white- & blacklists graphs got on the exact same level. Since then I got blacklisted ten times more than whitelisted because people maybe thought that I'm begging for whitelists even though I just wanted to give away some games to people who would appreciate them.
Anyways, I smiled today because I visited my Grandma and she smiled when she recognized me (she suffers from dementia). So everything said above doesn't really matter to me at all.

I am one of those who blacklisted you after you made that thread. The reason for it was simple; it made me see you blacklisted me so I returned the favor. If you blacklist a lot of people you should expect to get a lot of blacklists back when you make threads, especially when those threads have giveaways so it's easy for people to find out you have them blacklisted.

For normal I only blacklist people who either attempt to give away free games (even unknowingly) or regifters. Or lastly, as you said, a mutual blacklist. Anyways, since you're the first who actually tells me, I'll undo it.

Must have been something else, unless you count my Postal giveaway as free game giveaway (it was free once long time ago, but giveaways for it are still allowed so I don't think it's against the rules to make a gib for that game).
Anyway, I removed you from my blacklist since the sole reason I added you on it was because you blacklisted me first. I also noticed you added me to your whitelist so I added you on mine as well. I'm glad we sorted this out.

For me one of cool stories was creating a simple puzzle.
I was thinking this simple, but users was thinking different :)
Also some drama was in topic :)

There are so many things I don't even know where to start.
I like threads that get people to talk about their life experiences or interesting topics. I've read a lot of interesting stories and opinions.
I get happy whenever someone tells me my comment was helpful. Of course I also like when people give me helpful and informative replies whenever I have some questions.
Every now and then I get a reply to one of my posts that makes my day. Some are funny, some flattering, some just really nice. I like when people reply with nice comments, I like it a lot. Always makes me feel better.
I'm always happy when someone changes his negative opinion towards me for the better and we end up burying the hatchet. One person who had me blacklisted ended up whitelisting me. There's one person who blacklisted me, removed me from blacklist, blacklisted me again, removed me again, then whitelisted me. And there are people who just removed me from blacklist and started treating me nice on forum, I like that.
Recently someone from SG who I have on my friend list because we traded once told me he got Satellite Reign from humble monthly, but has no interest in playing it and since I have it on my wishlist and since I'm on his whitelist he wants to give it to me. It's a game I've been interested in ever since I saw its kickstarter so I took him up on that. Was really nice.
One person once added me on steam, told me he saw my post where I said I'm interested in Bioshock but find it a bit too expensive for me at the moment and offered to give me a copy. I told him I'd only take it if it's some bundle key he has lying around, because I don't want someone to spend his money on me like that. He said he intended to buy it as a gift so I refused the offer but thanked him and told him I really appreciate what he wanted to do. Real nice guy.
Once someone from SG I have on friend list just dropped a key in steam chat. I was wondering what's that about, thought he might have been trading with someone and accidentally sent the key to me. I immediately replied to see what's up, and he was like: I'm just getting rid of my bundle leftovers and you have this one on wishlist, so take it.
There was this one giveaway I commented in, I don't remember what I said because it happened long time ago, but I must have said something real nice because shortly after the giveaway ended the creator added me and told me that even though i didn't win the giveaway he wants me to have a copy of the game and gave me a key.
Anyway, I just noticed I wrote an entire wall of text so I better stop. There's a lot of bad shit on SG, lots of drama, intolerance and what not. But there are also some real nice things that make me love this community. Here's a gib

Though SG and its people have made me smile so many times, the best moment I remember was during oddllama's thread where I somehow managed to start a roleplaying game in the comments. Oddllama liked it so much that he sent me Shadow of Mordor for making him laugh. I couldn't stop smiling and eventually made a whole thread for the roleplaying comments game, but sadly I'm so busy lately that I can't keep up with all the stories. Still, that moment makes me laugh and smile. :D

A nice story, ehh? Well I think I got a little one... When I was about 6, my mother was laid off and needed to go back to school to change careers. We weren't extremely hard up for money, but still tight pressed with over half of our income gone.Being blissfully ignorant at the time with no understanding of how much things cost in the real world, I offered my mother all $7.32 in my piggy bank so she could go back to school.
