Read on, give in to your inner blue.
Shameless BYS Plug aka Testimonial Written By NaboosPrincess

"AHBY!"
"Green and green, it all makes sense!"
"The RED SIDE is upon us!"

The above phrases sound pretty crazy, right? So I thought, when I first wandered onto the JCC one day in October 2003 and clicked on a thread called "The Blue Yoda Society." All the posts there were just strange... and the people were claiming that Yoda was blue? So yeah, naturally, I was like, "wtf?" and dismissed it for a while. But the Blue Side was strong in me, and before I knew it, I was back.

Now it was destiny at work that day, or I’m a monkey’s uncle. I saw the latest post in the Blue Yoda Society, and it was a sort of ad encouraging new members to join. I read it, and it sounded like fun. So I clicked on "options" and "change user information" and I put AHBY! In my sig, just like the little recruitment ad had said to do. Then I waltzed back into the Blue Yoda Society and made some newbie-like post of "Hi, I’m NaboosPrincess, I’d like to join!" I’m telling you, it was one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Everyone in the BYS was so friendly and cool to me. Of course, it helped that I came in peace like the prodigal alien visitors who ask to be taken to your leader, and the fact that I had a clean posting record and was not a troll was a huge boon when it came time to join the BYS. But anyway, they welcomed me with open arms and before long I was pretty popular around the place. My future master sent me a PM and introduced herself, and we hit it off. Thus I was inducted into the illustrious family of Blue Yoda and I began to learn the ways of he Blue.

To make a long story short, I worked hard, was declared totally crazy and inarticulate (which in the BYS means "competent"), was Knighted, got my title, (an awesome one at that) and was one with the Blue. Throughout it all, the BYSers were always there, both on the JC and off, to listen to my ranting and raving in happy times and sad. The BYS is truly my second family, and I really feel like we are more than just some random group on an internet message board. Some of the BYSers have actually met other BYSers in real life, and I plan to add my name to that list soon when I move to California for school. These are wacky, funny, cool people we are talking about here. People who have a great sense of humor but also know how to be tough when situations warrant it. There is daily drama on the internet, but I have always been proud to call myself a BYSer. We stand together and work together, and even in times of strife we are there for each other. I really could not ask for better or more interesting friends.

Another great thing about the BYS is that we have people all over the world and the United States. I for one can say that being a member of this group has really broadened my worldview. I mean, honestly, where else would you find someone to explain to you the story behind the joke about a baby-eating dingo? It’s really cool to think that, although the world seems so big, it’s possible to have friends around the globe.

So, in the end, the BYS equals fun times, good friends, and a great hang-out. You can stop by for ten minutes or ten hours, stressed out from work or relaxing from a day of doing nothing, and no matter what, you are going to have fun and probably get a few very large laughs out of what people post. Joining the BYS was one of the best things I’ve ever done, and I’m so thankful to be a part of such a great group.

That touching serman was written by one of our longest members and definitely sums up what the BYS is all about. We constantly desire new people to join our ever growing group so please read on and learn how to join us and become a full member, a friend.
