I've been here a lot lately. Somebody asked about the members who had high post counts, and wondered where they went. (Stretches the creaky old bones) I have a clue, but in the interests of community happiness I will not divulge the actual secret. I will tell you that a bunch of us, myself included, left en masse about a year ago. I hesitatingly dipped my toes in the water a month or so ago, found that things had become somewhat peaceful and, decided to come back. It is a nice place, isn't it.
One of the things that has changed in my absence, is that there used to be a lot of threads called "Ask (member x) anything". It was kind of obnoxious IMO. The threads would be all about that one person, it was a huge popularity thing, with certain members getting asked lots of questions - please if you're reading this - DO NOT START one of these threads - OMG I hope I haven't opened up a can of worms. The reason I bring this up is that this one thread is kind of replacing that one, and this is a much better way, IMO, of getting to know people in a safe and humane way.
I will now answer the question:
I have had a crush on Hale_Bopp since the day I joined
and I never saw her picture till recently. She rocks!
That's nice of you. I would like to know more about you.. you sound like a nice person.
