Almost a year ago, I said goodbye to these forums. I left because I felt I needed to grow more in the real world, which would mean spending less time online.

Although it pains me greatly to admit this: I was wrong.

Not about that first part, I really did need to grow more in the real world. But, I was so worried I would confuse the "cyber-world" for the real world that I didn't realize something really, really important.
Y'all are people too.

I learned a lot of life lessons since I left, and I realized (though it took me far longer than it should have) that you guys were my friends, and no different than anyone else I could meet in physical space. I also realized I missed you guys. At first, that felt weird because I hadn't actually met any of you in person, but that didn't mean I wasn't friends with any of you.

Anyways, I just wanted to put this up here because I plan on being here again, and I felt an explanation would be nice. I don't know if any of y'all remember me --and I expect there are plenty of new faces-- so this could possibly serve to confuse you all more.

In summary, to those who remember me: I'm back, and I hope we can be friends again. To those who don't know me: Hello, I'm The Card, it's nice to meet you and I hope we can be friends.

I remember you. Welcome back. It hasn't seemed like that long for me, but I guess that's because people come and go in various threads so much. Good to hear that you're happier with yourself, as planned. Good to hear also, though, that you're still The Card.

Welcome back :3

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It's been a year since you left?

Anyway, welcome back. You might want to check the moderation log while you're at it, a few posters have been banned while you were away.

It was over half a year, at least. 258 days.

I don't think I remember you, but welcome back! And that's a good lesson to learn too.

Computers and the Internet aren't like TV; they're not some kind of passive entertainment device that washes over your brain, and divorces you from "The Real World". It's a different sort of window to the world. And it can be pretty cool when used well!

My sentiments. Seriously it feels like yesterday. Well maybe a week ago.


It's good to see you back.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

You never left.

[Thecard]

It's so awesomely weird when I see people I didn't remember, until I see your names. Then it's like a flood of memories come back and I feel like the Intersect.

[Mlamlah]

I don't think we ever interacted very much, but it's really cool to see you come to some realizations about yourself and make decisions that have altered your perception a bit. I'm happy that you're another step closer to whatever you want your life to be.

Look forward to seeing you around. ^^

Hey. If there's anyone who should be not remembered, it's me. I don't have an avatar and I don't post in many threads. Get your memorable face out of my entitlement.

[Baffler]

Welcome back! You wouldn't remember me though, I've only been here a couple of months.

[Heron TSG]

I remember you, Thecard. Welcome back to Bay12!

You were right about that card avatar you got helping people remember you. Even though it's invisible to me now, I remember you better because of it.

Hey, I remember you. Welcome back.
