So, I see both Raze and Wombat have both responded to my message on the chat, and wily in fact PMed back on CFC a few days ago (I was honestly not expecting that, and this week has been craaaaazy so sorry for not responding earlier). That latter one is actually what promt me to make this thread; I don't expect the rest of you to do such, and I heard most of you still converse via skype and I don't even have the foggiest of how skype works so help please In the meantime, I guess you could just throw questions at me here. I'm also curious how all of you been doing as well.

Yoooo, to be honest I hardly remember how I got skype set up. I remember downloading it... and then I remember adding like... one person. And I know you can add them using either their username or their email. It's all a blur to me really. It can actually be kind of annoying. So much so that a couple of us have attempted to find other places to chat regularly, but none of them ever really caught on or stuck. So it's a necessary evil.
Either way, it'd be your best bet at getting ahold of too many people, but I'll let a couple of them know you made this thread.
So what have you been up to lately anyway? We've all kind of weaved in and out, doing our own things here and there so I'd have a hard time summing up what all you've missed. Some of us are still fairly tight knit, but to an extent the group has sort of... frayed, to extend the metaphor a bit. That hardly gives the whole story though. I guess you could consider it a... blanket statement. B)
Anyway, I went to college for a couple years and then sort of... dropped out due to certain personal issues. Since then I got a part-time job and have been groping around trying to find meaningful long-term employment. I've also been sort of paying for game servers here and there, trying to find a game that several of us can all sink our teeth into. Right now Wombat, Blah, and I are playing Die2nite (and Mush... sort of). SFM and Blink plan to join us occasionally. It's not exactly what I was hoping for, but it's a start.
Beyond that it'd probably be best if I just let other people tell you what they've been up to, though. I'm sure there's plenty that's been going on. That's just some of the most recent stuff. People are still interested in stuff. As well as things.
Ah, I know this isn't that informative. It's just nice to see an old face again. Er... old username... simulacrum of someone we regularly conversed with at some point in time. Probably.

Look at that! A wild Snover appe--yeah you've probably heard that joke about a million times. I did see your messages in the thing, and I intended to reply but a combination of not knowing exactly what to say and procrastination prevented me from doing so. Best friend. 10/10. Well, I suppose I could make up for it by getting you up to speed on mine and DN2's situation, what the heck happened to this place and why it's little more than a partially-vegetated crater. I guess we simply lost interest in maintaining it. Most of us do at least still keep in touch and do things occasionally, as Willy explained. Aside from the aforementioned social games, a few of us have started a campaign using the Pokemon Tabletop Adventures ruleset thingy. Multiple ones, actually. It's fun. I'm also developing a program that acts as a virtual tabletop for it. Good times. As for me, I had myself a little romp with a place called the Overseer Project, where I learned a ton about coding websites, developing games, and managing a small team. It's a shame that experience still doesn't qualify me for a real job in the programming department, but I'm not here to rant about the defects of The System™. Aside from that, I've been tinkering with small game and story projects, biding my time until I can find myself a job and a place of my own. And a car. And a romantic interest. But one step at a time, Blah. Anyway, Skype. We have such a vivid love-hate relationship with that thing. Or, to be more accurate, begrudging tolerance-hate. Either way, it is definitely the key to staying in contact with the gang. All you really have to do is download it, make an account, then look one of us up. Ironically, I might be the one with the most straightforward username (it's just blahsadfeguie) so if you send me a contact request, I'll throw you at the necessary groups and re-introduce you to the necessary peeps. It'll be a real hootenanny. (If you're concerned about voice/video calls, we almost never do those and your participation is not mandatory :L) So yeah. Glad to hear from you again, and hope to see you there!

Hey there, Snov! It has definitely been a long time. I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier myself. I've just been really frustrated and stressed out with my college classes that I'm taking this semester that I haven't been able to do...well, really anything. Don't worry so much about how you used to act. It's all cool and water under the bridge and all that. I'm certainly never one to hold a grudge...for too long~ xP
Anyway, if you do get Skype up and running like Blah explained, I wouldn't mind hearing from you again. Perhaps you could even get involved in some RP's (if that's still a thing you're interested in) or something. I'd message you through other means, but...that's just extremely inconvenient for me at the moment. I'd rather not keep signing up for things and having more accounts that I forget about.
Also: The reason you can't log into the account is because, I think, this is a new site. So you either have to create a new account here or link your old Proboards account to this site first. If you want to do that in case we do a thing on here sometime, I'd definitely welcome it.
In any case, it's nice to talk with you again. And I hope you can get Skype up and we can keep chatting there! See you later (hopefully)~

Yeah, sorry guys, my life has been very hectic recently. I'm collegebound soon, and I didn't contract senioritis, so I have A LOT of crap going on in terms of schoolwork and what not. I promise I'll try to keep a more engaged dialouge, sorry I did make an account back in 2011, I can see I made a few posts then, but never ported my new characters. This probably corresponded to me getting involved in the IOT community and all of their stories/games. And that's when I started to drift away. As per skype, I'll get on to that right away.

Heh, good to know you're not just phasing in and out of existence.
Anyway, I'll just keep checking in every once in a while.
