I feel like a part of the community here. But I haven’t been posting much. The reason why is I’ve been going through some pretty rough personal stuff lately. I can’t discuss it here, it’s a private matter. I care about some of you as if you were some extension of my family. And I really enjoy talking and conversing with the vast majority of you. I’m not leaving or anything but, just so you know, I need to take a little break. Some people have been inquiring about me and I thought starting a thread would be the best thing to do. So ya’ll take care, I’ll be back to my normal self soon. Things are just quite shitty at the moment. -Mike ---

All the best, Silo - take your time. Real Life is always more important than the boards. Even though we appreciate the compliment. ---
