Been a *long* time

[Dagmar]

Old member here returning, oof. I think I was probably last active about 5-6 years ago? Man, how I was wrong that I'd always be active here. My job and everything got in the way since I was last active in 2014-15. But recently I started to miss being a part of this forum and being interested in The Land Before Time, so I decided to make a sudden return. I saw the latest movie in 2017 when it first released, but it never really occurred to me to return here as well until this year.

This is my previous account here, but I couldn't recall my email for it and I got a message saying that neither of my emails are registered to an account here, so I decided to create a new account in the end. So... I'm back and I'll try to be active every now and then, but currently I work about five days a week and am busy with renovating a house that I'll be moving to, so I may vanish and re-appear randomly.

(I wonder if anybody who knew me five-plus years ago who would remember me is still active here?)

Welcome back to the forum!  It is a great day when a member makes a return to our community.  Though the lack of time due to work and real life concerns is totally understandable (I can certainly relate) I am glad to see that you are back to this little corner of the Internet.

As for the old account, if you wish we could see about restoring your access to that account.  As an alternative we could perhaps change your current username to indicate your previous username as well.  If either of those options would work for you keep me informed and I will see what we admins can arrange.

Hello and welcome back to the GoF! 

Don't feel too bad about being gone so long. I was inactive for years before I decided to come back in 2017. I hate to say it, but I do not recall you back in the day. Though it looks like you joined back in 2010 and by then I was already getting to be fairly inactive.

Yeah, it feels good to be back. I'd been thinking more and more about the forum as of late and how much I missed it, so I thought "Okay, I need to return".

In regards to my old account though, I think I'm okay with using my new one. "Dagmar" happens to be the name of a character from a Dragonheart fanfiction that I started three years ago then never had time to continue. I'm gonna be finally giving her a design and more depth, so I think I'm okay with having an account that refers to her.

Hello and welcome back! Yeah, I joined in 2018 so I'm afraid by that time I missed your activity. But it is nice to see that you considered returning back to the gang!

[jassy]

Welcome back!! I wasn't a member when you were active either since I joined in 2018 but it's nice to see you returning! 

[Mumbling]

Hey Adder! Or I guess I should say Dagmar now Good to see you back here. Hope life has been kind to you.

[Anagnos]

It's always great to see old members return to familiar grounds. I'm afraid I joined in early 2019, so I wasn't active during your heyday. Welcome back to the forum, Dagmar!

[Sneak]

Welcome back to us!
Nice to see old users coming back to home.

[StardustSoldier]

As with Anagnos, I too joined in early 2019 and so we wouldn't have been aquainted before. But regardless, myself and the rest of the dinosaurs here would like to give you a hearty welcome back!

[ImpracticalDino]

As with both StardustSoldier and Anagnos, I also joined in early 2019! But welcome back, Dagmar! We're all glad you're able to set aside some time to join us on the forum again.

[Dagmar]

Hey Adder! Or I guess I should say Dagmar now Good to see you back here. Hope life has been kind to you.

Yeah, overall it has been. 2017 ended on a bad note for me with my grandmother passing away, but otherwise, the past three years have been alright. (2020 sure has been a strange year, though...)

@Everyone else: Thanks for all the welcome backs. It's also nice to see that the forum is still going strong with a lot of new faces.

[StardustSoldier]

My condolences about your grandmother. I had a few personal losses of my own in 2019 and 2020, including my own grandmother, so I can probably relate. And yeah, 2020 has sure been a strange year all of its own.

Good to hear that things are going well otherwise though.

[Anagnos]

Yeah, overall it has been. 2017 ended on a bad note for me with my grandmother passing away, but otherwise, the past three years have been alright. (2020 sure has been a strange year, though...)

I am so sorry for your loss, Dagmar. I can't relate on this as much as Stardust. I wish I had the right words to say to you, but I'm glad to hear that the past three years have been going well for you.

Let's make this time in the forum the best we can.

[Dagmar]

Yeah, it was rough for the first six months after she passed away since she had raised me and so was more like my mother than grandmother, but I managed to move on from my grief eventually.

But sad topics aside, yeah, I'm really glad to be back here. It gave me a funny feeling of nostalgia that I hadn't felt in five years the first day I returned here.

[Anagnos]

^Glad to hear. Feelings of nostalgia are always appreciated.

Omg, I did a little diggin g in your previous accounts post history, your the author of A Journey of a Forgotten Past, arnt you.

Oh, yeah, I did write that. I think it might still be on fanfiction.net too, but I'm not sure since I stopped using fanfiction.net and let somebody I got to know on DeviantArt take over the account since I was too busy to write stuff for a few years. I may make a new fanfiction.net account soon, though, so I can post anything I might write in the future.

(I may begin with re-writing the story you mentioned, since I've improved greatly since that was written.)
