  1. This post comes from a mixture of boredom and nostalgia. I can not ever think of anything I want to say on this forum, sometimes I start to type replies and just stop halfway through because what I'm saying seems pretty irrelevant. This kind of saddens me because this place was a (somewhat embarrasingly) BIG part of my life when I was growing up (12 to 15, in that range). Every now and then I get incredibly nostalgic and want to come be a part of this little online community but it's somewhat difficult for me now that I am not anime-obsessed and haven't played video games in...jeez, years now that I think about it. My life used to revolve around these things and this place. I have a lot of good memories here. I find the fact that I get sappy and nostalgic over an online forum a little weird but when think about the number of hours you logged posting here, talking to folks on AIM, etc. etc. It's kind of ming-boggling, lol. I spent hours posting in the Sony forum, when such a thing existed because in my mind becoming a moderator was the epitome of success. For some reason I really, really looked up to Semjaza and wanted to be just like him. He, and some other cats (Shin, CWB, James, etc etc) were always really nice to me at a time when I didn't have a whole lot of friends in the "real" world. I remember one summer where I talked to Piro on AIM for hours, EVERY SINGLE DAY. He seemed kind of depressed, I hope he's doing alright. I even briefly met a fellow member (DeathKnight) in real life. Sure, it was a little awkward, but it was good times. I've tried many times to come back to this place and rejoin the community but it's so different, and I have so little to share, haha. But regardless, as long as this place is around I'll probably always end up here at some point, looking at old threads and remembering my youth. Here's to you OtakuBoards. My internet home.
