I noticed something:
This forum has a noticably decreased amount of activity recently.
Me worried.
The past week or so, or further back? Because the last week could just be holiday slowdown. Also, we probably had a little bit of a spike after last update.

Online classes are always annoying, in my opinion. Do you think it's the format causing problems? Also, I understand the feeling of feeling concern over one's future, and not feeling good enough. It's not a fun feeling. Just keep thinking of your goals in life and considering what steps you want to take to pursue them. Then (and this is the hard part for me) pursue your goals.

If the issue is not being sure what you want to do, I would think what you can do to make the world as you want it to be.

People are growing up and losing time.  Also, I don't see any big freeform RPs, which would definitely be part of the high postcount things.

I would just say that 2017 has just been the year from hell for basically everyone. Pretty much nobody I have talked to has said it was a good year for them. I suspect "silent desperation" is a probable cause for the reduction in social activity.

Yes.  Fuck 2017 into oblivion.  2016 was a fucking vacation by comparison.

2017 certainly had its rough patches, but overall I'd say it's been the best year of my life.
Now, to make it a turning point, and keep things getting better and better from here...


@Scriver: feel free to pm me, man. I might not reply 'til later since I'm currently on this rather primitive temp phone as opposed to my laptop, but I'd be happy to talk.
Of course, e-hugs are also on offer if you would prefer. Hang in there.

This has been effectively a pretty shitty year. However, so far has been the best year of my life. My son was born.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
