Does being gone a decade qualify for a welcome post?

Hey all! It's great to see this place is still up and running! Figured I'd poke my head in and say hello to all the new folks, and the old folks who, dare I say it, might even recall me (hopefully favorably)!

So hi, hello, and how are things?

Hi Jedi!

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. I hope all is well!

I remember you! You asked me to draw Ducky in a space suit. Still probably one of my favorite pieces I ever did, haha

jedi472 · **Reply #2 on:** March 15, 2019, 12:18:13 PM

Oh man, I remember that piece! You did a phenomenal job with it! =) It's great to see you're about! And well I hope!

And things do go well here, I'm happy to report! It feels like eons, but I'm finally getting back around to a lot of communities I fell out of! These ten years were extremely lively.

Welcome back, Jedi!

I believe that I joined after you left the forum, but nonetheless it is wonderful to see a member return to the community. I am glad to hear that things are going well on your end.

Hey there! It looks like you were a couple years after my time, but it seems like you've having a blast here by the looks of it! Good to meet you!

It's honestly a little strange and exciting to return. I got married, went through college, and moved across the Midwest since I was last here!

Yeah no kidding! We went from teens to adults and through all the experiences that come with it. Graduating high school, college, moving. Glad all is well

The community has lost and gained many members, but is still the same welcoming place that it once was. It feels nice to see a familiar face returning

Also, if you are interested, we have a Discord channel now with a live chat (which is probably more active than the forum these days). You can find a link to it in After Midnight!

I'm glad to be back! It'll be wonderful to visit again, even if I'm not quite as active online as I used to be. I should absolutely hit up that Discord, that sounds like fun! =)

Hey there dude! How's it been going here? I trust the fanfic section's still kicking, along with you?

Hehe, funny how we all transition into boring adults over the years!

Welcome back. I'm not around much but someone told me you showed up and I had to say hi!!! My big news is I have a house now, and have been teaching 11 years now. I probably started just as you left.

Flathead770 · **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2019, 09:55:51 PM

I'd say it certainly does as I was in the same boat as you are as I only came back a couple years ago after being away for 5 or so years

Welcome back! Good to see another member return!

And yes the Discord server is a lot of fun!

Oh wow, that's fantastic! I think I recall reading a poat or two about you teaching, and I'm delighted to see you're going strong! Congrats on the house too, I know that struggle too well! I'm in an apartment with the husband the size of a sardine tin.

Hey, good to know I'm in excellent company! Tbh a slower paced forum post system is exactly the speed I'm looking for these days, and after a quick glance I think I'll be popping into the Discord at least once in a while~

Hello! I'm also relatively new, so you probably don't know me either, but it's nice to see some of the old guard return!

Hey there! It's wonderful to meet you as well! I suppose I do fit into that old guard bit now, don't I? x3
