Its been a decade since I started ♥♥♥♥ posting, and being a child here.

I made friends and enemies, and mistakes and successes, and even eventually visited Data Realms friends in other countries across the sea.

I've grown, and searched for what the world holds for me, and have moved on to different things, and places, and people.

But I started here, and in this petri dish of internet culture I grew and learned and ♥♥♥♥ up and moved on. Now I want to tell everyone who comes here again, those that remember me, that I hope they are doing well too. I hope that maybe they have found their way like I have tried to.

I live with my girlfriend. I work as a waiter in a fairly upscale restaurant. I fish, and read books. I am content with what I have.

I hope you all can find some peace in this world.

Thanks again for being a part of who I am today.

Wow
Sounds like many of us I guess. That's deep though, gratz on your life man, looks pretty good
And yeah, I'd love to see the Realms back to its old liveliness. Guess everyone has a crisis at least once.
But last one to die is hope, right?

It's certainly been a while, good to hear you're doing great. Most of us old ♥♥♥♥ are still around in the IRC if you want to chat.

I remember your name.

I remember seeing your avatar when lurking in ~2007

Familiar.

Waddap

i remember you from irc hehe

It is a beautiful legacy what you have left here, you are admirable and very well received, you chewed the before and after this site, feel important.

yo dude what up

you got me into The Antlers (maybe also furries) when i was like 14 and i have been a sad boi ever since. i'm glad life is treating you well, i still think about this place sometimes. learned a lot shitting around on the internet with guys like you

Happened to be revisiting the DRFF after talking about it with some picture wars friends; looking back, it's insane how formative my time on this forum was when I was just in middle school.

Not only do I remember you Jack, I'm in a similar place; full-time bar manager, about to move in with one of my best friends. I can't believe how long it's been since I was active here, and I occasionally think about the old names I have burned into my brain (like Krumbs).

Glad to hear you're doing well Jack, and I hope that many of our contemporaries can say the same.

sweet post, to this day I'd rather delete all my posts here than be this open about myself

hope everyone on your list and others from back in the day are well

edit: clicked on forum games and seeing some of you still CYOAing is so heartwarming

What a nostalgic thread
