Shit, things have changed around here haven't they? I gotta admit while I tended not to go out of my way to be toxic to people here, there was always a morbid fascination of it with me. Particularly how it acted as a filter for people. The ones who wouldn't amount to anything would flare up, get pissed and bail in an overly dramatic way. The ones who could take it... well, those people went on to do great and impressive things, looks like a few of the ones I remember ended up actually being pretty damn awesome.
Hell, I grew up, and though I used to have a bigger role around here under my old name, I realized how much of a jackass even I was being. That things were cruel to novices, that people were getting turned away, but it really had a sense of solidarity around here when everyone picked their sides and had fun with it.
Figured my glasses were rose colored at the time, but I guess lots of people were seeing red. I only hope I didn't come back to a dying waste of a forum to throw a few fond hellos and critiques about and ruin that nostalgia. There's still stuff going on here, right?
