So how is everyone doing?

For some reason all I think of when I see Leeza is that time she closed my welcome thread! :mad2:

True, I made my Welcome thread like, 3-5 years after I actually joined, but that's beside the point.

Hi NeoCracker. :)

I'd close it again, if I could. :)

Someone should open it back up, bump it to the top and immediately close it again.

What, I'm stlll here?

You better still be here.

I understand there are a few stragglers that might still pop in :shifty: Some have been slacking off while others have just now got in touch, so here's hoping.

I understand this feeling exactly. I am often aware (and, unfortunately, often reminded) of my worst traits that I exhibited, not only on here, but that were going on simultaneously while I was on here. I remember a lot of events at that time I wish I could undo, or fix, or replace with something more positive, but that's the way of life, isn't it?

If I could, I would nuke Usenet and maybe this place too, and geocities and the Internet Archive and everything on the net just to wipe out a few inconsequential stupidities of my dumb youth.

oh jesus christ like that one thread where Rydia posted some art and i kept on posting a new adoring message like i'd had amnesia and i thought it was funny at the time but in retrospect it came off as really smurfing creepy

or really early, over a smurfing decade ago when I posted with a RED COPPERPLATE GOTHIC font

Just let me say that whatever I did, whatever I said, whatever happened, I am so sorry about it all, and let's just forget about it.

Nait, don't say stuff like that - you remain one of the funniest if not THE funniest member to have ever graced EoFF :D I miss your humour immenseley, and I know others do too. :) I have a bunch of old LJ entries (mostly locked these days after certain events in the past) that feature you in them that I still look back at fondly for a giggle. :D

EDIT: Although I'll agree the red gothic font was terrible. Luckily there's only one dork who still uses coloured font these days and it just mostly serves as an excuse to not read his posts half the time. :D

Now you people may finally understand why I kept nominating and voting Leeza for Evilest Member every year. She was a bloodthirsty tyrant who crushed your soul with a smile on her face. She enjoyed it!

Then I look at the little crews and cliques I was part of in 2005, or 2007, or whatever, and there's only a handful of us left from then too. Yet despite losing all those wonderful people and drifting apart from them, there's still people here I have so much time and respect for. 2013 EoFF is totally different from 2003 EoFF but I couldn't tell you when the change happened. It's still home.

This place does mean more to me than I can say, and the connections and memories I've made through it will last forever. Thank you to anyone who was a part of it. Even if we weren't friends friends, you still see someone's posts every day and you feel close to them to some extent, even if you've not properly talked to them.

Other side of the coin, sorry for being a no good troublemaking punk. I think I once had a moan about you telling me off for something. Having done the moderator job for almost seven years now (time. smurfing. flies) I know what it's like from the other side and how frustrating having someone do that can be, so sorry. :shobon:

Nait! Please don't ever leave again! :love:

I can think of at least two. You're slipping, BoB! :colbert:

How could I have ever left, when I was still here...

in your heart?










Sidenote, I have no idea who you are.

Bleys.

We were lj friends, chatted on AIM for years, and had many adventures in #eoff. You know who I am, darnit! :colbert:

Ahaha Nait oh man. I still remember your fantastic full name and the time I wrote a bizarre YMCA parody about it.

i remember being personally confused/uninformed over the order of the middle two names, but thinking about it brings back the names to me. the brain is a weird thing.
