Dear lpfansfromallovertheworld,

This group is one of the most unique groups made on this site, and has a proud history. The group was started by none other than Katrina B., and was soon joined by Emiliana and Scotty Luo, who gave this amazing group a kickstart in the right direction. Others soon joined, and they all share an important part in the group. I was the 21st person to join the group, and came in right when it started becoming popular; i was intent in making this the biggest group on the site. Which it is, for even though there are not that many members as on other sites, this has been the most active group ever. New members came after me (we now have over 200 members) and they all benefit the group in their own way. This is a dream that truly came true.

   When Katrina asked Mike Shinoda to join this group (which hasn't yet happened) something cool happened that would change the group forever. Me and Scotty came up with the idea to make our own art, music, etc. (which the discussion for that is still the most popular discussion on here) to attract Mike Shinoda, since he is an artist. This idea went from a small discussion to a huge idea, when i announced I was planning to write a 20-song album called Synthesize. Since then this idea has turned into a devoted team of songwriters, a charity program, a band, and a way to express ourselves artistically. We are still working on the album, and plan to have a rough draft finished soon:)

   There have been some challenges to this group, though. It remained most active for until March, when ironically the charity program mentioned above took a place as more active (along with a few other groups I have created). Other times this has happened as well. But me and the others got it back on track. There have been long periods of inactivity as the result of certain members leaving the group. Right now we have a big one (but I'll discuss that later).

   But by far the most Beautiful thing about this group has to be the comment box. It is the most-used comment box on this site, with close to 10,000 comments. In it is a rich history. There have been much laughter, some tears, and even one fight (which i am so sorry for). We have almost woken our parents up in the middle of the night lol and we have given each other hope. Few of the greatest moments (in my opinion): The night when i freaked katrina out by guessing every song she was listening to without lyrics, the times when almost all of the most active members were on, the times when someone made me feel better and the times i made someone else feel better (if there's no scotty then i kinda assume that rolexD), etc. 

   But I cannot name the greatest time, for it is something that has not happened yet, but will happen. Recently, there has been low activity here for many reasons, but i want to change that. We are nearing the 10,000th comment, something we have all been anticipating for a long, long time. Anyone who is reading this, I am asking to help me! What we do here is called a comment war, and we kinda joke around say katrina's the general, the group administrators are majors (I'm Major Dude lol) and the bad guy is the refresh button, because we have to press it so many times. So I'm calling all of you lp soldiers to show your devotion to this group and to Linkin Park by doing the final comment war! We will have great times again, we will laugh, we will cry, we will try!!! We will finally defeat the evil refresh button, and show our true devotion to linkin park by reaching 10,000 comments on a Linkin Park chat box!!! Are you with me Linkin Brothers and Sisters!!!

    With Love, 

           Mike Mantecon

                      P.S. "We are all members of the Linkin Park family, even the ones who can't afford the LPU, and we all love and care for each other, admit it:) (Man that sounds like something scotty would say; like i said sometimes i adopt his personality when he's gone). We are a very nice group of people, and we all like linkin park. If i have to do this alone, i will, but please join me:)
