Kind of surprised that I haven't seen any PolyCounters from Valve on here, especially considering the relationship between the PolyCount community and Valve itself! Where are you all at? :)
Happy birthday Polycount! He. I found polycount because of an awesome "Knife Tutorial" by Rat. We had a short fling, which later turned out to be quite the romance. I still love U Polycount!
All the decent contract work I have gotten has been directly or indirectly from Polycount. Polycount also motivated me to put togther a portfolio and told me how to do it correctly. Thanks Polycount!
