Back from the dead...
Hi,
13 years ago, when I was a baby, I joined this site... I have been away for a while. What did I miss?! :lol:
If you made it to the end of 2020 congratulations!
Happy holidays & be safe.

MY 40s.
Lot of water under the bridge, the bridge has been replaced a few times.

This forum in general is legendary - still around after almost 20 years, and in all likelihood the oldest site most of us visit on a regular basis :)

Thinking i haven't been here since the beginning, but not only the site is still here it has evolved with the technology times...
But the forum section, that still needs some work:unsure:, and i assume that was the strongest part of this place..........

Re: Back from the dead...
Bulletin boards are dying.
This was, once upon a time, one of the most lively on the web.
The Drawing Room - as a political forum - was one of the very first of it's kind.
Good times were had...certainly not by all, but.
Traffic is thin all over.

Re: Back from the dead...
Everyone's on Facebook, Reddit and Telegram groups now :ghey:

Then allow me to be the first :fst:

Re: Back from the dead...
This place has a charm all it's own.
I just don't post as often as I used to.

Re: Back from the dead...
I think people grew up, did the wife and kids thing.

Re: Back from the dead...
I joined 18 years ago but I doubt anyone remembers me. I miss this place though.

Re: Back from the dead...
Hello fst. Long time...
I am working full time in film and theater making props and scenografi.
My son is now 16, great grades, yesterday he was completely and totally stoned out of his mind.
Had a long long talk and listened a lot. Hope he finds balance.
I spent Alot of time here when I was transitioning between my former pure art world and the commercial world.
Thank you for those times. I have found the place I want to be with great people and energy.
Hope you are all ok. Will lurk a little. Thank you for the good times ������

Re: Back from the dead...
Great to see you 100%. Your son sounds lovely. Good work on that. Glad you're well and sorry to hear about your transition. The former sounded like a more beautiful world. A shame you had to leave it.

That's quite possibly the perfect encomium for this place.
Sad to see things wind down, but hey.

Wow. Now I feel really old. I can remember when Bulletin boards killed Usenet. And when Usenet killed Bulletin boards (the dial up kind). Back to Usenet then?

Re: Back from the dead...
Never occurred to me to ask if death is strictly required in order to be "back from" it? :huh:

Re: Back from the dead...
Most of these there and gone again posts seem more like cadaveric spasms than full-blown resurrections. Then again I'm an agnostic, so what would I know?

That's about how much sleep get at work.

Re: Back from the dead...
One of the perks of living alone and doing freelance work is that I can sleep as much as I want, whenever I want... and do.
