Never came back to check in on what people said after I left. In fact, besides about 30 seconds I spent looking in here about a month ago, this is the first time I've looked at this place since January. So as an I'm-bored vanity project, here I am :) Not returning at all, just saying hi and replying to some things from this thread and others, and I'll check in a bit over the next day or so to respond to questions if there are any. *like serious press conference stuff*

Inverse, words fail me. I said stuff to you on Serious Inc but I'm too tired and not sentimental enough at 1 AM on a Sunday to pull something out of my hat. I'll keep destroying you in GH3 (waiting on that Wii code) and I hope I'll see you again someday. I'm glad you're doing this, because it's what's best for you.
It's a magical world out there. Go exploring.
I love you man :') You had the good poetic sense to send me off with a Calvin & Hobbes ref. Truly, you are an American hero. The past few months have definitely been an exploration, and I seem to learn exponentially more all the time. I've even found serious love for the first time ever, and that's the best (and most fun >:D ) thing that's ever happened to me.
I've been in therapy lately, and I want to take the time to apologize for some things I put the forum through that were manifestations of deep issues I have: that overeagerness to make the ultimate compromise forum society that everyone was happy with, but the unwillingness to actually do anything to accomplish that if it meant even one person might not like something (which was like all the time). It just kept the forum in an uncomfortable middle ground much longer than it should have rather than just allowing the society to make a possibly painful but necessary correction. If I could do it all over again... well, I'd probably just have left a lot earlier instead of sticking around with a messiah complex.

[took the thing I said in my leaving post about needing to get a job seriously when I meant it as a metaphor for needing to get serious about other things]
That was a bit of a joke, I was just saying I need to get serious about school stuff. But I ended up dropping out of college half way through the semester due to emotional difficulties relating to aforementioned unexpected love (that whole situation is incredibly complicated, but I wouldn't trade it for anything). I'm going back to school in the fall.
Also, forget the stuff about my IM name and all in my leaving post. I'm never gonna use my old IM names ever again. Only have 3 people I ever talk to on my new IM name, and that's probably about to be reduced.

Inverse better start coming back on here; hasn't he been on SI for some time now?
Yep, I reappeared there about 2 months after leaving the internet. It's a much more manageable (ie slow) forum. This one's too big to keep up with and still have a life.

[after discussion about whether the previous furry mod regime was good or bad] Actually I think Inverse was like half-furry too and really didn't want to be. He was the greatest.
Ah, the days when Ace was my fanboy... Then I came back to SI as a lamer. Anyway, if you had any idea how rampantly and unashamedly furry I am these days, you'd barf up your intestines. But you wouldn't know it from anything I post on SI. I don't think I've mentioned anything about it the entire time I've been back (something like 2 months now). It's good to respect the culture you're in, whether that's SI or wherever.
So anyway, hope everyone here is doing good and keeping it real! :D My only real question is what's up with COLA having a different color username. I mean, he deserves it, but WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!? *head explodes* .... *new head pops out from hole in neck* *stumbles off to lie down*
