I used to be a fairly prolific poster back in the early to mid '00s. Between the Winter of Missed Content and Real Life, I dropped away. I don’t know what brought me back, but I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of days rereading old threads, thinking of old friends and old times. It made me wonder who else might be around, who else might still remember me. So, is there anyone still here that remembers the old administrator/teacher of the Flirt Academy? ---

Your name rings a bell but doesn’t call forth specific memories for me. Probably a symptom of my senescence. Welcome back. ---

Not exactly ‘remember’ you. I wasn’t around back then. But I have read an extraordinary amount of Old threads and I remember you that way. Nice to meet you. 😊 ---

**Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan** , I started back in 2000, ran the Flirt Academy, was one of the influx of Dopers getting Married (to **Verrain** , one of **Persephone’s** best friends, and pretty exclusive poster herle in MPSIMS. Not sure what else might twig your memory. **Beckdawrek** , ☺. Is this a good thing? Nice to meet you too. **pjd** , I was still around and pretty prolific in 2003. It was the year **Verrain** and I got married. I stayed pretty much exclusively here in MPSIMS. But nice to meet you as well. ---

Yes it’s good. I remember reading and seeing your name in the @Persephone tragedy. Such heady days on the Dope. ---

I can’t say that I remember you specifically but your name does rings a bell – like Beck, I read old threads with some regularity. However, I am but a relatively new poster as I have only been here for 16 years. Thus I suspect we have never interacted directly. Having said that, welcome back! This place has slowed down quite a bit over the years but it is still one of the best places on the internet to hang out with smart and engaging people. ---

**Sunspace** and **aruvqan** , thanks so much! **Beckdawrek** , that was one of the most heartbreaking moments in SDMB history. We’d lost a few others, but there was no one in the world like Cristi. **Lancia** , yeah it looks like you started the year after I stopped coming around. I am glad that our old threads are still exciting enough for rereads. Ive noticed that it’s a lot slower and a different vibe. It’ll probably take me a little bit to get reacclimated. But I’m planning on sticking around. ---

I must have come along about the time the OP headed for the hills. I think around 2003, but I couldn’t swear to it, and I can’t figure out how to find a join date with the new formatting. But welcome back anyway! ---

Of course I remember you! ( **Verrain** and **True Pisces** hosted Dopefests and for a long time a group of Dopers had D&D night each week at their place. Also, we were friends on LiveJournal and she and **Verrain** are my friends on Facebook). Welcome back! ---

No problem, youngster. 😉 Thanks for the welcome! Jen, Lin and Spence… yes, I would hope you’d all remember me! You’re all some of my closest friends and people that regularly react to my FB posts.
