In a fit of drunkenness I decided to delve into the Internet Past and holy shit I found you guys. Does North_Ranger still have a beard? Is Tiq still psychopathic? Does anyone remember Kidspider?
This is weird, man. You guys are like, still here, and stuff. Shit.

That's all you got? JCM should be in here tearing me apart already.
Who are you again? I been here a while an' I don't reckon I done heard a' you none.

North_Ranger
Yup, we're still here. My beard is thinner these days, mostly due to some pretty heavy medical news I got last year, but otherwise I'm still my own pants-hating Finnish self. We've lost a few folks, gained some new folks, and the forums are still rolling
And I think JCM's gone mainly because he's teaching his son how to commit awesome murder with cupcakes. Y'know, for the day when the son has to avenge his father.

Rats, we've been found out! Now we're going to have to move again.

JCM has like 3 kids now and is a teacher. I still gab with him occasionally on Facebook.
Yeah well you ALSO told me to keep the tear gas bombs handy, just in case we need to disperse some hippies. I mean, I only have so many pockets, you know. It's not like I can fit a utility belt around my ninja uniform.

FYI, as of next month, I'll have been hanging around with you a-holes for 4 years.
Oh, when you said "hanging around with you a-holes" I thought it meant across all boards.

Yeah, anything prior to Halforums, I have no idea... It was before I went back to school, so at least 5 years.

I've been around since Kurtz dumped y'all.

Actually, now that I think about it, it was about a year before transformers came out. I specifically joined to get into an argument with JCM about the flame paint on Optimus Prime and that was when the first picture of him was leaked. So, probably 6 years total.

I lurked for a long time, but I didn't become an active participant until... I dunno, 2000 or so? I think? Hard to remember. And everybody else keeps changing their avatars so you guys always seem like strangers to me every 8 months or so.

I've only had 5-6 avatars. My first was my undead priest from WoW (my username was creepshow on the PvP boards). My second was undead Orville Reddenbacher. Then David Bowie's Aladdin Sane cover. Then Harry Potter made up as the Aladdin Sane album cover. Then it was just David Bowie, then the actual photograph of my current avatar, now the one I'll probably keep forever.

I joined the Image boards but never posted and had only just begun at Halfpixel before the thing happened. Then I joined here and barely posted for a year. Not even lurking or anything. Weird.
For all I knew, you were some remnant from the forum before the forum before the forum and I never met ya and missed your homecoming because I was away. You just never know in this place.

Hugh Laurie versus a scythe. Not so obvious anymore, is it?
Particularly if he brought his tag team partner, Stephen Fry.

Geeze what year was it when I joined Halfpixel? I started on the webcomics weekly forum then gradually bled more and more to the PVP online forums. I believe it was a little before the first of the flood of "Francis will lose his virginity in a few months" threads started popping up. I only had two avatars before this one:
What I would really love is a new username. I've never come up with one I'd want to stick with, but I hate having such a common name.

Haha, really? I still remember some of the people here but it has been a long time.

Hey guys. Real life. Back together with family. In charge of 9 million dollar R&D project (funded by Spain at my UK based company in the US), so kind of busy.
I just plugged that into Mapquest, and I think it crashed their servers.

Venezuela was actually involved, too, but their new government decided to bow out. By declaring that they now owned the Venezuelan assets of the Spanish oil company.
There's actually lots of investments going on there (in oil and gas anyways). It's just that the Venezuelan national oil company will always make sure they have a controlling share in the investment (60/40 split typically).

Okay, am I seeing things or did Calleja just pop in here?

OMG, the mex...
Now I have seen everything... *does a happy dance*
*but still also prays for the return of Silver Jelly*
Enough chit-chat. Where have you been, young man? We've been worried as hell.

Calleja
Oh, I lurk around, I'm like Obi-Wan's ghost.
I'm actually about to move to Mexico City, with my girlfriend. I'm such an adult
Also, I have a beard now. Beards are cool.
How have you been, my favorite Finn?
#76
North_Ranger
Eh, prolonged sick leave due to cancer, but otherwise pretty decent. Still have a beard, though
Are we to hope your de-lurking will continue, or is this a special occasion?
#77
Calleja
Man, fuck cancer. Are you doing chemo?
I may hang around a bit more at least until January when the moving begins. You won't completely get rid of me, though. I'm like the sexy former cast member that continues returning as a recurring special guest star, and will probably be there in an important role for the finale.
December 21st IS awfully close, isn't it?

*glomps Caligula* Missed you!

North_Ranger
Yup, chemo. The situation is such that I can't receive curative care, but they can keep the tumors - and the symptoms - in check with treatment.
You should definitely stick around, though. You've been missed, as the Japanese mustard edible just said
