I'll have to ponder mine, but surely others have really cool landmarks perhaps, or achieved some goals etc..

@ toe When I was little I had the worst toes (I thought) ever! I went through 8 in-grown toenail operations! That foot is way worse though! 
As for most memorable moment, I'm not too far away It'll be hitting 200,000 downloads WITHOUT having ever been promoted!!

Hi Yrag, there's one toe you wouldn't want to suck on, or maybe not?

My favorite moments were (in no particular order):
- Discovering this site in the first place
- Finding out that skinning was a bundle of fun wrapped in puppies and gum drops
- Getting promoted
- When yrag held me oh so close in his warm arms

Knowing the folks at WC.
Looking at my profile and discovering I'm an apprentice.
Trying to figure out what I'm an apprentice too.
Knowing the folks at the Fantasyland thread and being a citizen of the Chocolate planet.

Grand Raspberries to all and to all a grand nite........ >

Hmmm, most memorable moments.
I would have to say making that first skin, even though it was terrible.
Getting together and making that WC-03 wallpaper(almost time for 04).
Hanging out, getting help, and chatting with the likes of I.R., Pic, Koasati, Jafo, IP,
Essencay, EH, CJD, and many more.
Getting that promotion to Apprentice
Way Cool
Passing the 100,000 mark! Getting ready to crack 200,000.
Watching Jafo and the admins wrangle that wascally wabbit UzEE.
Making skins for the GUI Contest and teaming up with I.R., Pic, OS, Cross, MT. It was great fun.
Starting Skinartistry and the Workshop. Thanks to the admins.
Reading about yrag and china, and her fonts.
All that and more, not bad for a year
Can't forget all the master skinners out there for the inspiration, Thanks!!

Yep, that the one
We started that one the second week of August, last year.
Maybe we can get another one done this year.

Two items to add....
Thanks to SpyderByte for starting this thread, reminds me of a Highschool Yearbook, without the pics, except one
and a special thanks to the unsung hero of the WC Help Messageboard...Koasati, for all his help there as well as his hosting of the Skinnerz Gallery, which btw should be the number one link under the community menu, since that is what we are all a part of

Good point Essencay. It definitely should be there.
Memorable Moments?
Finding, no, ...stumbling onto this site.
Joining the site.
Interacting with a whole mess of folks who are dedicated to their habit/hobby/work.
Buying the goodies, and getting to fiddle with them, even though I don't understand some of them yet.
Helping out wherever I can (admittedly this is limited, but where I can, I will )
Talking to some wonderful folks in #stardock irc.
Teaching Ess how to say Aussies .
Watching all the shennanigans that bubble up from time to time.
Learning to appreciate the work of all the great skinners/artists out there.
...and oh, so much more!
And kudo's to Brad, T-man, and mods/admins for keeping it all smooth and worry free.
I love this place!
