We have to get more of you some way. The folks we want more of we want reproduced. Be thankful. The folks we don't want more of we want neutered.

Nearly 19 years since registration? 6,910 days as of today. The mind boggles...
Seeing those names from the past really brings back memories. Re-reading old posts, remembering past conversations, music I listened to, people and things I cared about - it's rare to get such a vivid snapshot of the past.
Wow...
This place has meant a lot to me over the years. Although I've mostly kept to my lurking ways - apart from intermittent bursts of more or less intense involvement, most notably in the T2X era - I can easily pinpoint the ways that many of you talented (!), creative (!), fun (!), crazy (!) people have helped shape who I am today.
Thank you for that.

I'm so tired of FB and all the useless BS that's associated with it that I've been lurking around here lately. Now that my daughter is 8 and takes less constant attention I have more time to browse the forums and get back to PC games.
I haven't seen anything from Sluggs or theBlackman in a while. Anybody know what they are up to? Also, didn't KOMAG come back to TTLG with a different name? The Keep is just a shell and Shadow Dark Keep hasn't been updated since 2012.

Don't know about Sluggs, but it sounds like Dusty was having health issues (age related) back in Dec. 2017 and moved to live with his daughter. Gillie posted this on his FB page last December. Dusty hasn't posted there for several months now.
' Had a message from Dusty's sister and posting it here.
Please pass on that he is getting great care from his daughter and seems to be enjoying his new surroundings. Age is beginning to take it's toll with his memory although his overall health is still strong... Tell any of his friends I will try to keep you all posted.'

Glad to hear it, I was actually concerned Dusty had passed away given his age and lack of activity around here the last few years. He's in his, what... mid 80s?
ffox on 20/8/2018 at 15:12
Dusty is a few months younger than me so he's nearly 81.
Edit: I've checked and it's weeks, not months, so he was 81 a week ago. (My memory isn't what it used to be either!)

Whaaat? You guys are over 80? I knew Dusty was getting on a bit but I didn't realise he would be 80. What an amazing diversity of people we've got on here.

Through the power of the internet, ten days from now, I'll meet up with Daxim again, for the first time in roughly 15 years
We met. For entertainment, he invited me to a (
http://act.perlconference.org/tpc-2018-glasgow/) Perl conference. He gave a brief speech on (
http://act.perlconference.org/tpc-2018-glasgow/talk/7437) something or other I didn't understand, but I have to say, I quite enjoyed being there, for this simple reason: it's the first time in over a decade I was in a room full of people much more clever than I talking about things I did not understand, as opposed to being the smartest man in a room of idiots where people talk about things I am either indifferent to or actively despise, such as football or whoever is doing what to whom on bloody Love Island.
Then we had a few meals and drinks, and lengthy whiny rants. It was quite enjoyable.
As predicted, given that it's been about 15 years since we last met, I'm now old and fat, but to my great amusement, my circumference has expanded significantly less by comparison. If I can figure out where to freely host photos maybe TTLG could be treated to the new, mellow happily married fat Daxim*.
*consent given for posting at the time of finishing that bottle of whateveritwas.

38, fat and married? He brought a fucking chaperone when he called on me back in the day, lest I turn out a creep from the intarwebs.
Wait, YOU brought a chaperone, too, when we met in a pub. :eek:

Welcome back GBM...and I for one appreciate a good fuck with a soft hat. I'm 25 years married and a little "strange" is welcome. :sly:
I'd also (as a forum elder) like some suggestions for some forum gloss at this time.
But anyhoo....it's good to see GBM back. This is the place I started internetting (that's not really a word is it?) If it were to go the way of the Dodo I would be much upset. So many names, so many threads, so many ideas, arguments, stellar accomplishments, artistic achievements....the utter lack of dick pics. I consider TTLG my first and only www home. So fuck you and hugs all around. The next round's on me. Drink up taffers! :sly:
