I wasn't really sure of how big of splash I was going to make about this. Maybe this thread will be enough. Sorry in advance if this gets too sentimental.
I suppose a lot of you have no idea who I am, but some most likely do. At least a previous version of me. I first joined these boards back when I was 17. It's fairly plain to see that that was a long time ago. As weird as it may sound, these boards (and mainly its people) was a formative part of my adolescent years. I remember (way too) late IM convos, partaking in intricate fics and role play, and enjoying the creative efforts of these boards. I also remember being something of a searcher, taking a little too bold and naive stances in discussions and sometimes just acting out. I've come to terms with fond memories and past shames equally through reading old posts
On a more serious note, I guess I wanted to write something here not really for me, but for you guys. As previously mentioned, these boards where with me from a young age, and nostalgia rears its beautiful head every now and then. I've lurked every year or so, but it was with heavy heart I came on a few weeks back or so, to learn the news about Tic-Tac, who'm while I never knew personally, still was a part of my life, if only in a simple way.
And I guess that is why I am posting this. To salute you all for letting me be in your lives back then, and being there for each other in one way or the other. Babclayman, Nemo, Shadow, RaceFan, Nuke, Hesso, Olwe, Paws, Oddy, Two-Tone, Flo, Belchic, Rip and probably a mountain of other names that are currently slipping my mind. You've made a difference in my life. I hope you all stay safe!
