Gather Around Newbies!

On the off chance that my MASS SPAMMING of this forum actually manage to draw in some new faces - WELCOME!  OMG HELLO!

Feel free to introduce yourself!  Or lurk!  Although we would LOVE to interact with you (the few of us that are still skimming the surface here) so you should totes post stuff for us to discuss!

And, go ahead and visit old posts and make new assertions.  OR if you feel like there's just too much to go through - start fresh!  We're in the same boat as you!  It's been four years and there's good stuff here, but a lot of it has been long forgotten by us so feel free to re-engage in an old discussion or start a new one at will.  You might even find that some of OUR opinions have changed a little or even drastically over the years.  That kind of thing tends to happen!

Basically, I'm just really excited you're here!  I hope you enjoy your stay.

Not actually new, but I forgot my password and the last email I used is no longer active. So, in a fit of originality, I am perhapsormaybe2 instead of perhapsormaybe. So great to see you guys again!

We need to hold a memorial for Freddie Ray. :C

He was. The. Best. Arnold.

UNLESS SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS!? ....cause i don't T_T

So many lost...

So many abandoned usernames...

*sad bugle*

I will translate.

You're welcome, Alyssa.

Perhapsormaybe! AG! WAAAAHHHHHHH GOOOD YES WONDERFUL.

I have NO IDEA what happened to Freddie, but I know a lot of people have gotten messages about some of these board revival posts in their emails SO maybe he'll show up at some point? I also really hope Anne makes a reappearance! This is HER board by all technicalities!

OMG! That post! I will... have to go back and reread and jump on it again!

I keep going "oh, that looks like an interesting thread...whoops, I started it way back when." :/

Hmmm... Im almost tempted to suggest we lock old threads as archives?   Then re-create new ones as they become relevant again?

Because really, ALL THREADS are going to be started HELLA long time ago.

Eh, I LIKE the idea of letting people respond to old junk if they want, but if you wanna basically take an idea and REPOST the exact same idea with a fresh thread - DO IT.

Also, in fairness, I'm currently too lazy to go back and fiddle with EVERY post in the forum. Haha. Clearing out the spam took an hour or two by itself.

ROFL. We will all find some skeletons in the closet around here I am sure.

Ah! The ability to start a new thread on a similar topic works just as well for me too.

YES! Although... I just changed mine... My art has upgraded. Although... this is new one is technically a collab between me and Criminy.

...I still can't draw to save my life. Phoebe will stay for the time being, I suppose.

LOL Yes, I noticed.

I was gonna crop Helga out of one of my old fan art pieces buuutttttt old art :C *hides away*

Hatterlet: I actually still like those old designs even if they do have some aspects of "UGH OLD ART". If you ever wanna change it - feel free!

Ag: You'll just have to draw NEW stuff, EHHHHH???? *nudge nudge wink wink*

I need to make myself a new icon. Don't know where my old Curly one got off to. It really is great to see you guys (online, anyway) again.

If you wanted to you could probably just save your old one and reupload it on the new name? I'm sad you can't get back into your original account, even though I know it doesn't make much of a difference!

One of the things that super stinks now is that even if I wanted to pick my old "Ask a character" back up it'd be super easy to guess that it's me!

Ack, I love the Phoebe icon, that's not what I meant at all! I just meant since we were discussing new stuff.

Yeah, that's the other reason I'm sad I can't get into my account. It still has all my old notes that should show me who was whom in the Ask a Character account. But I should say that if you won the part fair and square, who really cares if we know it's you? It was still loads of fun, and I think everyone did a wonderful job of answering in character.

Oh, that's right! Also, I THINK your old account was an admin one like mine and hatterlet's. So it's a shame you lost that access . I'll go see if there's anything I can do to get it back to you, but I sort of doubt it.

Eh, it's no big deal. But I did find my icon, so that's yay! I am weirdly giddy right now with the activity on here.

Nah, can't do anything about it. Anne MIGHT have had more control over that sort of thing, but IDK. I do hope she shows back up!

ANNE AND FREDDIE! ANNE AND FREDDIEEEEEE!

I could probably also find Nintendogal again pretty easily. I think she's jumped fandoms, but she might be interested in a reunion?

I hope she is. And I selfishly want Freddie back for his amazing role playing. Heck, I want pretty much everyone back.

I want them all back too!

Though, I do think we should think about starting a new RP maybe? If we're all still interested in doing such a thing. See what happens in the forum in the next few days and if it's still just us, but we wanna do it? Just make a new RP thread for our teensy group.

Ag, if you wanna jump in and play as Eugene, Gino or Arnold in the meantime - feel free! Or Curly or Gerald or someone entirely different (who isn't Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda or Harold since their voices are BACK AND READY FOR ACTION). If not, don't worry about it either. We have... A LOT of pages in that thread!

A new RP could be loads of fun!

And Ag, if you have the time, please consider role playing with us!

I don't really have anything to add except that I'm SO happy to be back. :')
