Thanks for the kind words everyone! I’ve just gotta give some credit back to the entire community here though – there’s no way this sort of accomplishment would ever be possible without all of your guys/gals!
Should I say Congrats Epicera or not? Because I know that when you got the power elite badge your nickname was “epicera” 
Congratulations and as others already said: well deserved; you are an example for all us.

Hah! You can still say “epicera” if you’d like – that was our account name for a long time – I changed the official account name last week, after years and years of considering whether or not we should do it. In the end, I decided that MDNW / “Make Design, Not War” is the better account name since we don’t really use “Epic Era” for anything other than tax purposes nowadays and I’ve been going by “MDNW” in some form or another for years now.
You could also just say “Brandon”, as that’s my name IRL 
Congrats, well deserved!!
People like Brandon are the inspiration to all the authors.
One quote for MDNW
A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Btw, curious about (as i’m also thinking of a name change) how did you manage to get your portfolio links to your current account on your old?

The strange thing is that there are different files, but points to your current account.
