It has been a long time sice I’ve been to SDMB.Are alot of old posters still here? I will start the old practice of checking the board when I get on the computer.I wish my brain wasn’t so fogged that I couldn’t remember alot of names at the moment, but I used to have some really good times here.AOL may have taken the old away, but I’m back.

Welcome back!

We were pretty much the best kept secret at AOL and so now that we’re in cyberspace we’ve gotten a lot more attention. It really has been for the best, though there are people that miss the feeling of closeness we had when it was just a few of us hanging out together. I kinda miss that too sometimes but that was then and this is now and these are the circumstances that prevail.

Think of it this way: all these folks you didn’t know from AOL are just friends you haven’t met yet. 🙂
