@TAMKFan:

Yep, I got email notifications. So what goes on now? Should we keep this place alive in our own terms? Do we advertise it in the OT section to see if peeps want to come around?

Do we move to discord or telegram?

And also how have you been?

It has indeed been years since I was last on this site. Once union's went away, the site lost its charm as a place to chat for me really.

Nowadays I occasionally read a review here but I honestly don't visit this site anymore.

I'd say about 95% of my memories on this site have been forgotten tbh.

So much has changed since I've been here. But I am indeed still alive.

And got 4 notifications as well haha

@TAMKFan: I do actually have the unions I frequented on my favorites but as you said, they are all dead. id post but don't know if anyone would even respond.

@horgen: I remember seeing your name here lots back in the day. I chatted in threads you were in, but I don't think I ever directly chatted with you.

@stormcast: it is actually new. I used to have a different purple colored icon.

@johnd13: I did at one point. used to do a LOT of guitar hero. not so much these days.

@foxhound_fox: your name actually sounds familiar.

I feel as though I met you back then.

it has been nearly 3 years since I last posted and touched this site.

things look so different now and move a lot more smoothly. I was part of those few that were here during that major transition long ago. I come from the time of gamespot themes. I used to have ice enabled. I came from unions and private boards. being able to change the name of my username, etc.

my mind set from those long gone days has changed so much now and I feel maybe ill come back here and start using the forums again. maybe ill see familiar faces, or make completely new friends. ive matured so much, gotten into new things, made new friends and discoveries, and have just turned into a completely different person really then I once was.

either way, it feels good to be back I think. it feels.. nostalgic.

if anyone remembers me, please feel free to contact me here or talk with me here. id love to hear what has gone on here in my absence.

for any new people or people that have been here for the last 3 years, please, regale me and tell me of how this site has faired since then. I left on the edge of the site's major overhaul and the days of heavily infested buggy pages and mechanics on the site not working.

I look forward to any and all conversation I can get here with anyone that will have me.

also, are unions still a thing? I have some of the ones that merged favorited to keep track of them, but seems like no one has posted in them in years either.

thank you for your time.

the error messages show up much less often now. don't know what it was, but it seems to have subsided. for now at least. so if something did get updated, thanks. :P

as luck would have it, I found one. a beautiful Jackson js32t rhoads. black with black pick guard, and white bevel. bound headstock and fretboard with pearloid shark fin inlays, 24 jumbo frets. string through bridge. even got a hard shell case for it valued at $200 for on $10. strings on it were dead, so I replaced them with some EB cobalts. this think is pretty beast. may not be like my first one, but I love it none the less. finally able to learn and play songs in tuning other than standard.

good thing I had the case, because when I stepped out to go home, it was POURING rain. like a waterfall practically.
