What Andromeda said is true. I partially feel bad because I could have done better to help grow the community instead of being an elitest jerk. =| The clubs seemed to slow down by a lot, and I'll admit, answering the same questions again on different final fantasy games seemed to not be worth it to me to add input again, mostly because my opinions on the game didn't change and/or I didn't feel like replaying through the game in search of a different outlook on it.
Definitely what I considered the "heart" of the community have more or less dispersed into the different corners of the earth and are all busy doing their own thing. We had MSN chats that always had people talking and having good times going on at different parts of the night, practically every night back in 2008. I got to talk to the aussies like Doc Rocco, Froggie, Tiger Lily, Priscilla, Nathan, and other cool people like Violet, Oceaneyes, Pete, Fishie, Victoria, Gemma, Joe, Meier, Polk, Dodie, Hyzenthlay, Loaf, Sarah, Supersabin, TG Oskar, Azuteor, and a whole hell of a lot of other people I can't seem to remember, and that was just the start, then we had a new era when we had Block, Gypsy Elder, the return of che, and other new people joining... But yeah, getting to meet and befriend you all was a great honor, wouldn't trade my years on tff for another forum, and if I still somehow win the Monopoly Million from McDonalds I'm holding up my end of the bargain and organizing a meet up.. ya crazies...
Nowadays, I havent been active at ALL, I don't even lurk daily like I used to, buuuut thats kind of life for you I guess, I guess other stuff has more priority and holds my interest then this forum. Hard to believe that I'll be a member for 12 years though, that's almost half my life here!
As far as keeping up with my favorite tffers, Pete/Westley I don't have an excuse for not messaging and I feel terrible for not at least sending a text once in awhile, we should talk, I'd like to see how you guys are doing; not much has changed on my end haha. Ally I have on skype but shes never on I don't think, and she's busy with her real life I can imagine. Peter always shoots me a message once in awhile but I'm usually not around when he does and I forget to respond because I'm a lazy and bad person. I'm in a skype group with Brett and Steve's real life friends lmao, I mostly lurk but I'll post sometimes, those guys are always up to something. Kyle I haven't legit talked to in like a year, back on skype when he gave me his user/pass to try out the ff14 beta but he is my twin and I miss him as well. Mel I talked to here and there but shes busy with real life I'm sure. Cesar's phone number is one that I dont think transferred over to phones for some reason, must be my phone trying to protect me from the danger-prone curse that you have, idk.
Anyways, I had a great nostalgia rush, enjoyed the memories of being a newb and watching the elites cause havoc, to getting my turn to do it myself, to getting caught up in real life and watching it happen via lurking. I love you all, miss you all, get in touch with me you apes, goodnight!
