I look around, I look around

[Agent Intellect]

i see a lot of new faces.

i haven't been around in a long time, but i miss this place. of course, i don't know a lot of people, so maybe my emotional attachment is merely for the memory i have of being at this site and now i won't much like it. anyway, perhaps i will stick around for awhile again. maybe I can alienate some new people...

 

[loveofreason]

Hey!

You can always try and alienate me if none of the new faces appeal.

hot stuff. It takes more than one to master debate, so I haven't had a chance in quite a while. Glad you remembered us.

Interesting posting.

Yes, it is very probable that you miss the past, you miss what this forum once was. You may end up despising this place, in this revisit, because it is so different from what it once was...

We long to hold to us what the past once was because it often times seems so much better in comparison to the present. When we experience the present and have with us memories of a pleasant past, we can tend to view the flaws of the present with a more critical eye then we normally would have, and more so then we originally did whilst in the past. Changes happen, and they can be hard to adapt to. Try as you might, you may always have that voice telling you in the shadows of your mind, "It just is not the same." And it is not. But- that does not have to make it any worse.

Let the past remain in the past, and accept the present for what it is now, this need not be a displeasing experience. The sentiment associated with the past will never fade, but do not let it cloud your mind and corrupt the present with ideals that cannot be meant in the hopes of reviving a past that is now gone.

Do not misunderstand me- The past is in the past, but that does not mean that elements of the past do not live on and in more ways then just the memories of the older members who have found in this place a home. Change happens, but through that change there can be whispers of the past taking form in different, sometimes almost unrecognizable shapes that seem to only allude to the spirit of the past, but are, in reality, the same in essence.

I hope you find belonging and happiness here, as you once did. This is a very special place to many, it seems.

Welcome back. I have read a few of your older posts, and I am glad you have returned, even if for only a short stay.

Just one important question:

Do you still have your INTPness?

 

[Deleted member 1424]

Welcome back. I've only just found this forum myself and I've found the company refreshing and conversation fascinating. Who knew we actually had mental kin eh? The sarcasm, bloodshed, and general insanity is all icing on the cake. I hope you stick around

Since I am new here you are welcome to alienate me. Well you can try, but I make no promises.

 

[saffyangelis]

Well, welcome back, and have fun alienating people!

(I'm probably one of the new faces, so good luck on trying to alienate me =P)

 

[cheese]

Hi, I noticed you while lurking.

Good to have you back!

 

[The Fury]

Hey there Agent Intellect, take Saffy's advice and try to alienate her, damn Brit.

 

[FusionKnight]

Hey! Welcome back! Stick around... we've missed you!

 

[chocolate]

Hi there. I remember you but I'm probably a new face too.

Your post actually brings to mind something I've been thinking about lately ever since I visited a dinosaur museum and I couldn't believe (my brain couldn't actually process it) that the dinosaurs 'were' standing in precisely the same spot I was 'in the past'). What I mean is I'm thinking about what distance in time means.

Hope it's still the fun place it was for you! In any case, welcome

 

[NoID10ts]

AI is back! He shall smite you with the power of his INTPness which means that you are all fucked (or soon will be).

 

[Red Mage]

I'm a new face, but don't mind me. Nobody else does.

 

[Cegorach]

You've wounded us new members deeply, AI.
Didn't you know... We joined this forum just to meet you, and now we find that you're as evasive as the wind is to our grasp...

*sigh* Oh well, I guess we'll just have to find somebody else to worship.

 

[Agent Intellect]

Just one important question:

INTPness is not something one can lose... although it has gotten smaller.

i'm not sure how much i'll be around here. my motivation has been at an all time low lately and haven't much felt like doing anything, which i suppose is why i came back, in hopes of shaking this funk i'm in.

 

[loveofreason]

*Tries hard not to think of anyone shaking AI's funk*

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

AI needs one of your strap-on INTPnesses LoR.


I get in those states where I don't want to do anything (like now....except I'm making this post so I dunno)

I ain't shakin' no funk.

 

[lindsayo09]

hi im new here but i have been here what three four weeks maybe i am not really sure?

 

[Cobra]

Hey there Agent Intellect, take Saffy's advice and try to alienate her, damn Brit.

Wait, Saffy's a Brit? When I listened to her on Snapvine, I thought she was doing an impression of the mom from Peanuts.

 

[Melkor]

AI! Without you, I am very sorry to say, that these heartless bastards did a terrible job of abusing me. In light of your return, I assume the abuse position!

 

[FusionKnight]

Wait, Saffy's a Brit? When I listened to her on Snapvine, I thought she was doing an impression of the mom from Peanuts.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's more or less what I was thinking... lol!

 

[Sugarpop]

I look around, I look around

Do you see a bloody sun, a raindrop, well dressed men and women and threatening stormclouds?

 

[saffyangelis]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's more or less what I was thinking... lol!

Yes, I'm english.

Where on earth did you think I was from?

And I'm taking offence to you two now.
Soon as I take over the world, I'll have you in hamster wheels. Running. Running for your little lives!

¬_¬

 

[Fukyo]

LOL

 

[Ermine]

Welcome back, AI. I doubt you'll find too many remnants of this forum's past, but it's presently an awesome place. Let's just say if you leave a few days, you'll miss out on several inside jokes, and there will be too many threads to keep track of.

 

[Ogion]

Heya AI. Welcome back. I myself had a pause of the forum for over a month (not voluntarily though, family vacation without internet), and am right now struggling to visit all these new threads and posts

[sagewolf]

AI is back!

Welcome back.

AI and Noddy and Ogion are back! Even if none of you are back for long, it's still good to see you again.

 

[Ogion]

Wait, sagewolf, "not back for long"? Is this a translation fault on my end, or did you imply we would be away soon again? If so, i do plan no such thing. Apart from other family 'vacations' i will (kinda have to) have inthe future i intend to stay here!
