I remember the name, but I'm thinking that it was in other people's conversations and not due to interaction with Computergate. Either that or he's one of JCM's alts.

NorthRanger passed away? For serious? What happened?

I noticed GasBandit was a mod now. Whose idea was it. Who do I have to kill.

And I've been well! I don't know why I left, but I don't think I'll be back for long. The forum pangs crept up, however.

I'm coming out of a strange period in my life, and thought, time to revisit old interfriends. And reclaim my fucking avatar.

Seriously, cancer. It sucks.

Dave got it into his head that age equals wisdom, and therefor, after himself Gas must be the most wise and benevolent person here. Turns out he was mistaken, but hey, what can you do?

Also, stay a while, and listen.

Not just a mod, an Admin. Dave was the one who pulled the trigger on that. I'm mostly here in a technical capacity however, since Amorous Eyes stepped down. She still lurks from time to time, however.

And really, I'm not the same guy I was when you knew me before. A lot's happened to me, too.

And, going back and reading the North Ranger threads...that's really, really sad.
