I don't know the finer points, but he put in a lot of work that he felt was unappreciated. He was assembling a very lengthy text full of intricate details, can't remember the exact name now, something like Grundbegriff's Grymoire, and somewhere along the way he got into a spat with some then-moderator, and left. He did a lot of good work for the community and I was sad to see him go.
I think Digi and Sailoreagle were involved. None of it was pretty. Probably best left in the past but it's one of the things that confused me about some personality clashes here. I usually just want people to be reasonable.

Hey everyone. I've been pretty terrible at keeping in touch, when so many people here were once such an important part of my life. I always meant to come back, but I've ended up being rather busy with a variety of uni, sport, PhD and work. I will try to make more of an effort. If anyone is around Cambridge, I'm always happy to find an excuse to go for a drink :)
Paz and Zantie are now happily married and living in the US. Since I was the first person in the world who has met both of them, that makes me happy :)

I honestly never thought I'd get to see so many of these old nicks posting in these forums again :)
I've met a few IRL, like raph or David, but honestly I can't remember the nicks of all of the people. Maybe some of you can tell from these pics from our London meet (David isn't in the pics, as he was the one taking them):

First pic I remember but wasn't mine, the second was taken with my camera and I still have it... I don't have everyone but from left to right there's Ania, Kyloe, you, Jenesis, MyOldNameBroke, me, d0om, Ferret, DaveAngel, Jim the Hairy, and Iggles (if my records are accurate).

...Shadow Creepr's Chicago meet pics from 2003.
I still have those photos stored on a drive
somewhere in my home office. That was such a fun time. That was my second meet for that year and it was attended by Rug Burn Junky, Stitch, Turtle, Microwave Oven, Screech, Zaphod, Tonamel, Howie and Kyran Ward.
I also had my UK spring meet with scumble, Saturnine, Thorin Oakenshield, Dinksmallwood and Zaccheus (RIP). I've meet up with Broken Arts and we are still in touch on a regular basis. I'll see if I can point her this way.
Tocky, that love story is 15 years strong now. My how time flies. I love seeing all these names again.
Raph, I need to get over to your area next!

I still lurk, just not as much. I do miss the forums, and all its simplicity. The chat had depth. FB and all that white noise shit. Oh hell, I said white, I guess I'm racist now.

Just say black to even things out. Always gotta balance that cultural scale.

See, I can say that here, and it just doesn't matter. Yes, you are correct. BLACK. Thanks Renz!

Ain't no thang.
