I do love the relative frequency with which an oldbie will pop up and wax poetic.
I think the notion of this place being a harbour for many different types of folks during very formative times in our lives resonates with almost everyone here. We've seen relationships come and go, marriages form, children pop out of the ground or wherever kids come from, arguments break out, songs made, games made, stories told; just a bit of everything has happened here, really.
Despite the fact that forums aren't necessarily the go-to social platform anymore, many of us are still here. It might not have the chaotic passionate energy of youth, but I come here daily and just settle in the tranquility of the place. Makes me feel like an old man sitting on my porch with my beloved: we don't need to talk as much as we used to or go on adventures as often as we did; it's nice just
being together.
Seriousness aside, everyone should get off facebook, instagram, reddit and the like, and go back to online forums like EoFF. Social media is proven to be actively harmful for both individuals and society at large, whereas EoFF never did nothing wrong
