I miss the fun, the wackiness, and the way a thread could wander through twelve distinctly different subjects before it lost steam.

That just means we have to rally and be wackier than ever.  This calls for a forum-wide "Wacky Back" campaign.

 You can't know the history behind gentle teasing and won't know why that's okay when yours might not be.

So true, Laura! There's so much *communication* missing in a two dimensional written post!
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

I do appreciate that there's less spite, and people are behaving better. I also like that old posters are visiting.

I guess it'll take me a while to get over the culture shock. I wasn't even able to log on when the changes first got posted, so for me it's a little bit like I left home, and the place burned down... They were able to save the best parts, but everything that wasn't a priority got lost in the blaze.
I'm the sort of person who keeps everything, so it's hard to adjust to NOT having everything where I can find it. Like I said, I don't figure things will change just to suit me, but I'll get adjusted at some point.

I want to see y'all. Especially most of my friends who've already commented here. But I just don't know when I'll have time to be on frequently and I hate... missing out... on all these threads that get deleted.
Life for me has been really stressful and tense. Hope I can get through all this personal stuff and come back in a better frame of mind to enjoy the board.

Nah, don't think of it like the place got burned down. Think of it as a giant Lego fort. The baby came along, tore it apart as only babies can do (i.e., faster than thought), shoved some pieces into its diaper and wandered on. It's rebuilt minus the diaper-tainted pieces. :D

What? There had to be SOMETHING out there to explain the EWWWWW factor of the parts that were getting left out. :)

Though now I understand why some loved and miss the old Angst corner so.  I'd love to spew and rant about something right now, but in my current state... It wouldn't be kosher.  I don't think I could tone it down, either.

That's why I set up the F-it thread way back when. Sometimes a person just needs to spew and get it outside of their head to move on!
