Spoiler:
Just want to let you know how inspirational your work was for me while I was learning Photoshop and InDesign. Not only for stuff I created for the Raps board, but also for Digital Media class. So many times when I was stuck and looking for ideas and new techniques, I studied your old work. Your attention to detail was amazing. So, thanks again. And best of luck with your future endeavors.
PS. I think your funniest creation ever was that Brooklyn Nets playoff video back in 2014. I must've watched that thing a 100 times lmao.

Personally, I never used your sigs because frankly your design skills are vastly, VASTLY inferior to my own but I really do appreciate what you did to spruce up the board and our community in general.
You have great skill. I enjoy your work! Thank you so much!

Thank you for all your artwork over the years. It has helped an entire forum get through some tough times with smiles on their faces and laughter in their souls.
You will always be one of my favourite posters, and I think it's safe to say that you have cemented your place on the Mount Rushmore of the RealGM forum.
I love you, bro, and i wish you all the best in life, health, love, and your future ventures.
Your friend, neurotik.
P.S. Please don't stop posting lol.

Thanks so much. Lots of talented kids on the board and I'm a huge geek fan myself when I see people's art. Amazing.

80 Fresh Raptor Sigs - The Final Batch
The Raptors improved as a team after Turbo Zone started posting sigs. I have it on good authority TZ was a big reason why. For the first time I'm going to share a leak I was given years ago from a trusted source. It's a leaked Board of Director's meeting transcript provided to me shortly after Turbo Zone's sigs started appearing online.
"Who the hell is this... Turbo Zone? Where did this guy come from and who is he working for?"
"Our intel claims he's actually... a Canadian student."
"He's making a mockery of us! Everyone thinks we only care about money and that we are completely inept!"
"I know a guy who knows a guy."
"Make the arrangements."
"Wait! Don't hurt Turbo Zone!"
The transcript indicates there was an audible gasp here. It's now easy to see why. For in this moment the entire board realized that the voice had come from a child. The son of one of the Board Members. He was there for a take your child to work day.
"I thought you were supposed to be with the nanny! Get out of here! You're embarrassing me!" shouted the child's father.
"Nana sent me in here to tell you she's pregnant."
"Speak up, child," said another. "You have our attention."
"Um... Okay. She told me to tell you she's keeping the baby, too!"
"No, not about that! What you were going to say about Turbo Zone. Why shouldn't we hurt him for all the lampooning he's done?"
"Oh, well I love Turbo Zone's sigs" said the boy. "But if you really want to stop him it's really easy."
"Tell us!"
Everyone stared at the boy.
"Make better decisions. Hire better people. Spend more money."
The room fell silent.
"Now we can be together forever!" shouted the nanny through the closed door.
"The child's right. We have grown greedy. We are complacent in missing the playoffs so long as we make money. It is time for a change. Somebody... get me Tim Leiweke. It's time we turn this club into something he can't parody. Thank you, Child. Is there anything we can do for you as a sign of thanks?"
"There is one thing," the boy said. "Keep Casey for a decade... we still need some laughter and my TZ sig is that he'll be here forever."
Turbo Zone and that child changed the Raptors forever.
Who was the child, you ask? Why, haven't you figured it out by now?
That child started posting here shortly afterward...
He goes by the name...

So, thank you to Turbo Zone and for the new generation who will have to keep the fun up following your well-deserved retirement!
