> [@TruePisces](#): > > Thanks! It feels good to be remembered. šŸ˜Š On the flip side of that, one thing I love about this place is that no one really keeps track of me. This means I can say something wrong/stupid/silly, and no one will bring it up the next time I post. And I can take a break without guilt (either when I need to be productive in the real world, or go on holiday: I just got back from a long international trip without devices, and picked up where I left off here). And no one noticedā€¦ YAY! ---

Damn, is that going on my permanent record? Shitā€¦ Maybe I shouldnā€™t have used my actual legal name here (Yeah, my folks hated capital letters and last names). I do sometimes think that no one here can run for office, since weā€™ve all made so many comments that, taken out of context in a campaign ad, would sound horrible. ---

My birthday makes me a Pisces, but maybe Iā€™m a false Pisces. I spend a ton of time on or near water, but I rarely get wet. ---

Iā€™ll admit there are a lot of people that I know, from looking at profiles, that were there when I was more active that I donā€™t remember. But there are also several people who have changed names so itā€™s always possible that someone I donā€™t think I remember is someone I actually remember andā€¦ never mind. I have a tendency to babble! I have noticed that itā€™s pretty different from The Time in the MistTM and I somehow think my old flirt academy would never be the same, even if I were foolish enough to reopen it. But yā€™all do seem like a group Iā€™ll fit in with fairly easily. > [@digs](#): > > On the flip side of that, one thing I love about this place is that no one really keeps track of me. This means I can say something wrong/stupid/silly, and no one will bring it up the next time I post. Yeah, but when youā€™re an attention whore like me, being forgotten makes me want to cry. šŸ¤Ŗ > [@digs](#): > > I do sometimes think that no one here can run for office, since weā€™ve all made so many comments that, taken out of context in a campaign ad, would sound horrible. Oh by the gods, yes! After rereading some of my old threads, Iā€™d be laughed off of any ballot someone tried to put me on! > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Aaaaaccckkk! > > sorry for the little hi-jack @TruePisces No problem!

I first joined in August of '00, and I think I first drifted away when I started a full-time job in '08. That was about 8 months after I joined. Did you hang out in MPSIMS a majority of the time or were you in more of the other threads? > [@AHunter3](#): > > Hey! Good to see you! Same here! > [@Gatopescado](#): > > Nobody misses me, 'cause I wonā€™t go away. Try as I might. I should try that sometime.

I spend a ton of time on or near water, but I rarely get wet. Honestly, Iā€™m not in water as much as I used to be. But I am definitely a Pisces - sympathetic, empathetic, creative, emotional, romantic, open-minded, intuitive and wanting to keep everyone happy so I do whatever I can help make that happen. Thatā€™s the Truth of this Pisces. ---

I was almost always in MPSIMS, with a dash of Cafe Society and a very occasional dip into the Pit. Itā€™s hard to remember there was a time when I didnā€™t feel the need to follow news and politics obsessively! ---

Iā€™ll have to look back through some of your old threads to see if I get an ā€œAh HAā€ moment. Because those, with a tiny dash of IMHO were my breakdown as well. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-wonder-if-anyone-remembers-me/981407.md?page=1)
