And yes its true, Ares is kind of gone, I for one, only hang around because I've known a lot of these people on the forums longer than I've known many of my highschool friends.

This is a good point; it applies to me too, to some extent. Course, M:Inv keeps me around here too. And that silly Ares Chronicles topic.

Ah, yes MInv.
Is it too much to ask that you work on it some? I'd like to finish it before I graduate college.
That's probably a little harsh. Let's say I'm "just kidding."
And try again.
C'mon Pallas, we need you to work on it some. Ah, less harsh.

That's the spirit!
I was wondering why I hadn't heard much from you guys this week. I managed to build a couple more models and a website, and suddenly you dissapeared for the week.
Pyro: Actually, I don't find it weird. You should have seen the old days, when the only "computers" where whitless 'scribes' and I was a council member. How simple things were. But that was some time ago.
Count so far: 4

I think that the bar should be closed down. For ages, I didn't come here because every new post was going to be in that ****less waste of time (I thought)
I come here occasionally when I have nothing to do. Hopefully I will just curb my visits to the other boards in the future (like bnb and just chat.) It's interesting reading material.

Yeah, I'm in that category. There's some good memories floating around this place that make it worth the while to stick around. That, and you don't have to put up with nearly as much nonsense here as you do when you walk out the door.

I think I somehow got rusted into the boards. Leaving them just doesn't seem a possibility, unless my life takes a sudden unforseen twist (like being pressganged into the Navy and serving on a ship without any connection to the outside world, or perhaps a sudden EMP blast over Eastern Australia, or...)

Depends on how you define "old." Even though I was an immature idiot when I first showed up around here, I do think those times were rather enjoyable.

I miss some of the older members, like Newt, Pax, Vegeta, Cotton Mouse, and a host of others that no are longer around... and I still can't shake the feeling that anyone who registered after 2000 is "new to the boards."
I miss the activity too, although I'd rather see the community enlarged before there's any increase in activity. Of course, with Ares being a dated Classic game, I doubt that many more people are going to arrive.

Wow, it has been awhile.
Funny thing is, I was here way back in the day but I certainly don't have the posts to show it.
Oh, sure when I was here I was a mad poster... but taking a break that was a year long or so kinda disassociates a person from his community.
Ah well, maybe this'll be another turnaround for me. I haven't been active on any webboards lately. Maybe it's time to get back in the swing.

I just went back and read through the RPGs. ALL THE RPGs. Look at the archives. Read "the buildup". Read anything with "Chapter XX: " in the title. Go and read some great fan fiction, then come back and we can talk.
