Hello F(r)iends,
Happy New Years to All!
2005 was a banner year for ILP. The site has grown tremendously, has gone through strife, has gone through growing pains, and has gone through change; however, all in all, it has been successful, interactive, fun, challenging, and worth it!
For those of you who have not been a part of ILP long, or who have left ILP, or who haven’t felt a part of the ILP community, below are some inspirational messages to let you know that we want your contributions, we miss your contributions, and we want you to be a part of 2006! So join us now!

Buddy we are boys makin’ big noise
Philosophizin’ in the street gonna be big men some day.
We will get in your face, with no disgrace, givin’ our thoughts all over the place
{stomp, stomp, clap} We will, we will, teach you
{stomp, stomp, clap} We will, we will, rock you
Buddy we are young men, smart men
Shoutin’ Nietzsche in the street gonna take on the world today
We got blood on our face; a big disgrace
Wavin’ ILP’s banner all over the place
{stomp, stomp, clap} We will, we will, teach you
{stomp, stomp, clap} We will, we will, rock you
Buddy we are old men, poor men
Pleadin’ with our hearts gonna spread some peace some day
We got mud on our face, a big disgrace
Impenitent’s gonna put you back in your place
{stomp, stomp, clap}
We will, we will, teach you
{stomp, stomp, clap}
We will, we will, rock you
We’ve paid our dues; time after time; we’ve done our sentence
But committed no crime; and bad mistakes we’ve made a few
We’ve had our share of sand kicked in our face but we’ve come through!
We are the champions - my f(r)iends
And ILP will keep on fighting, till the end!
We are the champions; We are the champions
No time for loser forums, 'cause we are the champions, of the world!
We’ve taken our bows’ And our curtain calls
ILP Members brought us fame, fortune and everything that goes with it
We thank you all!
But it’s been no bed of roses; no pleasure cruise
We consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And we ain’t gonna lose!
We are the champions, my f(r)iends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions; We are the champions
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions, of the world![/i]
