I’m probably not going to read all the threads I’ve missed in the last… 5? years. How’s everybody been?
Anyone still playing Everquest?
Anyone interested in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen?
what is the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

So you’re going to stick around, right? We’ve had a couple other old-timers do drive-bys recently and then we don’t see them again after the initial post.

I plan to. Was a busy summer - back yard was dug up due to septic tank collapse and flooded basement, and now I need some light entertainment.
Life circumstances have changed as well, I was out west in Alberta in the “tar sands” for a year, and now I’m designing tools to repair nuclear reactors. I’m not sure how these things happen.

Still got a core of old faces… always happy to have another in.

Cool. Biggest thing that happened to me in the past year is I got married.

“old timer”…meh. I prefer “veteran”. Though it’s true dignity can be overrated.
