Hey, Gem. Welcome back!Forums have been generally getting quieter as people grow up and do more adult stuff. The happy and groove threads are still around, obviously, but full of adult stuff.Mafia ended up collapsing, but there were some epic moments there even after Game 100- maybe someday I'll even get around to cataloging them all in the Mafia mod thread!There's still good discussions in off-topic forums on other lit, games, and other media. It's why a bunch of us stick around. As someone mentioned, we have a few posting malazites that published their own fantasy books-both "Purge of Ashes" and "Incarnate" are worth a look, imho. Aside from that, there's generally less craziness. Occasionally some of the old timers indulge in bouts of insanity where everyone changes their avatars/usernames to be completely unrecognizable, but mostly, it's just a familiar hangout spot for those of us still around.
Thanks, so people 'grew up' eh? Or maybe with age we lose the passionate certainty of youth. Good to hear people are successful, I'm not bitter at all. LOL

We're old and boring farts hanging around the same pub we've always gone too. Sometimes youngsters come to visit and promptly turn around at the door, chased away by the smell of old whisky and shame.
They will learn about shame eventually, and then maybe they'll find their way back here.

Wow, hey Gem! (And all the other oldies these convergences draw). Glad you're well
. I find it pretty amazing that after a decade people either remember their password or still use the same e-mail address. Meanwhile I can't log into accounts that I made three weeks ago.
Hey! And thanks. I never understood why people would change their email address, unless they're hacked?
