I’d say just post as a guest for a while, see how you like it, then decide. That’s my advice, FWIW…don’t worry about what the board used to be, or who you used to know, post some in whatever forums you enjoy and see how you enjoy (or not) the discussion and the current members. -XT ---

What an odd question. If you want to come back, do. Only you can decide. Are you hoping for a red carpet or a road strewn with roses? Join in and see what you think! (Anyone who responds with “no” would seem like quite a hypocrite, wouldn’t s/he? Why would s/he be here reading your post if if _weren’t_ worth being here for?) ---
