I haven't always been active on this site, but I remember it being here going all the way back to when I was in high school, and a lot of you have been here since then.
And I don't really know any of you outside this board, but thanks for always being there. You're good people.
I think this community has really helped me cope with constant quarantine. I've been very isolated, and interacting with everyone gives me some sense of fellowship when I've been stuck staring at the same walls for months. So thank you to everyone - your interaction really helps.
Speak to me, @heavenly_bearded
I love you, and miss you. And you owe my mom $100
@botley and @Pyract for doing absolutely nothing more than not deleting links to things they sent me
And also...thank you to every member of this site in general. Almost nobody I interact with in my parts shares remotely the same music tastes as I do so...it's always wonderful to find common ground.
Hey! Just wanted to say...
I know I was kind of a jerk back in the day. The shitlist thing got a little outta hand, and I probably said some really shitty things.
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
I saw someone post something about how another NIN group was "Jinsai-free, and therefore 100% better" a while back, and I wondered there if I should just fuck off. I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to be a negative thing, but I guess in a lot of ways I was. I want to apologize for that, but there's no meaningful way to really. I said a bunch of other shit over the years that I really wish I could scrub away from the internet. But I can't.
I guess I just wanted to say this is probably the best moderated board on the interwebs, and I love you all, more or less. I guess I just hope I wasn't too shitty here, not really, and if I ever really upset someone, I hope you know I didn't mean it, unless you deserved it
^^^ These parts would not be the same without you. I do remember those shitlist days and it was definitely an outlet for many of us to release our relentless bashing and difference in opinion . Nothing but love!
@eversonpoe again. no reason
Y'all's friendship is baffling. lmao
Happy birthday @halo eighteen ! I sent you a PM about our chats years ago.
So, hey.
I logged in to check out some info I couldn't get otherwise, and found out people had been wondering. ...Hi ?
Sorry for vanishing, first of all. A bunch of tiny stuff all over the place made me feel overwhelmed and I had to go into power-saving mode. For a while. As the expression implies it wasn't so much a decision than a reaction, but it was the right one at the time.
I was in the process of turning my life around and that needed a lot of work. It's not done, is it ever, but I've managed a few key successes. After a year training at a trade where the way I "function" is actually an asset and not an oddity, I applied to a new kick-ass job with great co-workers, and the future now feels like something I'm actually building, instead of being the inevitable consequence of shitty early choices. Better late than never !
Sorry for the door slam, thank you guys for caring ! I'll hang around, even if it's in a reduced capacity.
Omg HI @Khrz !!!!
Got to have dinner after 5 long years and meet @eversonpoe again for the first time. What a great person, a fucking beacon of light and love. Makes me wanna be a better person.

happy birthday to my friend @Swykk
I got married yesterday, to my best friend.
I also hit the jackpot and was able to do so in the company of @eversonpoe and @thefragile_jake
I love them so much ❤️
@burnmotherfucker! , man of mystery.
But I've NEVER had this much fun exchanging ideas, here, through PM, nor on the old board.
He also kind of sucks, though, just in general.
Much luv, man. Coolest cat around here since miss @implanted_microchip
While I'm at it, @eversonpoe , holler at yer.homenoy
@burnmotherfucker! , man of mystery.
He also kind of sucks, though, just in general, so its a double edged sword.

No mystery here, just a dude vomiting his opinions into the infinite void of an internet message board.
But thanks! That means a lot coming from you. Always enjoy talking on here. And good conversation can be hard to come by. Especially when it comes to the philosophical underpinnings of human existence and all.
But yeah you also suck sometimes. I mean if anyone is reading this, whatever you do, do not leave your children alone with this man!
