If you’ve ever paid it forward, chances are someone first gave you the tools, confidence, or inspiration to do so. This thread celebrates that ripple effect. Who mentored you into becoming a mentor yourself?

Some users never gatekeep. They openly post guides, share files, or answer questions in forums without expecting anything in return. Let’s highlight the creators, organizers, and educators who share knowledge freely and make the whole platform stronger.

This is an open letter-style thread. Take a moment to write a heartfelt message to someone who guided you. Whether or not they see it, this is your space to reflect and express gratitude for the people who shaped your experience.

Sometimes those who guide us become lasting connections. Use this space to talk about people who started as helpers or teachers and ended up being friends you still talk to today. What started as support turned into something more.

Some people don’t realize their impact. Maybe it was a kind word, a quick walkthrough, or just showing up consistently. If someone helped you in small, meaningful ways—and maybe never got the thanks they deserved—tag them here and tell the story.

Sometimes the best helpers come in teams. Use this thread to recognize a club, crew, or community that consistently helped new users, shared knowledge, and uplifted each other. It’s not just about one mentor—it’s about group generosity.

You know the kind—the folks who don’t get frustrated when you ask the same question twice. They just help. This discussion is for the mentors who stuck with you through trial and error, helped you troubleshoot bugs, or calmly walked you through a process no one else had time for.

Whether it was understanding mod tools, tweaking code, or building your first event setup, someone helped you get there. This thread is dedicated to the people who taught complex things in a way that made them feel doable. Share your learning story and who made it happen.

We’ve all received advice that stuck with us—something that made navigating the virtual world easier, better, or more fun. Share the most valuable tip someone gave you, and give credit to the person who shared it. Even the smallest insights can make a big difference.

Think back to your very first experience logging into There.com or another virtual world. Who was the first person to greet you, help you figure things out, or make you feel like you belonged? Share the moment and give them a long-overdue thank you. A warm welcome can change everything.

If you could pair up two (or more) creators from any virtual world platform, who would you bring together? Use this fun and speculative thread to imagine dream collabs, mashups, or creative partnerships that would break the internet (or at least turn some heads in the metaverse).

Not every creator just posts content—some take time to teach others, whether through tutorials, one-on-one guidance, or encouraging feedback. Use this thread to thank someone who helped you grow your skills. Whether it was showing you how to texture, script, or just troubleshoot a bug, give them the credit they deserve.

Is it originality? Technical precision? Generosity? A unique style? This discussion is for exploring the qualities that make a virtual world creator unforgettable. Share your perspective and examples. Let’s talk about what keeps us following, supporting, and celebrating creators over time.

Some of the most memorable content comes from collaboration—when two or more creators combine strengths and styles. Did you witness or take part in a project that fused meshwork, textures, scripts, or audio in a meaningful way? Share your favorite creator collabs here and tag the people behind them.

Every big name started somewhere. Use this thread to highlight newer creators who are just getting started but show real talent, passion, or potential. Whether they’ve released one great mod or have been helping others behind the scenes, help lift them up and encourage their journey.
