Subject: Hmm... looks like it's still standing, somehow.

*Surveys the tavern, eyeing the familiar surroundings and reminiscing to those good ole' days.* Goodness, it really has been a while!

It's a somber day when you come back for a visit and all of your old friends are taking their leave. Truthfully, I just happened to decide to check out the board again on a whim to see what had been brewing, and I found this! Though I certainly can't claim to have partaken in any ROC activities as of late, quitting entirely seems like a real waste of a good thing...

Then again I guess I was never all that mature. : )

Honestly, though, INSU was one of those things that allowed creativity to flow, and I wouldn't have given that up for anything. It all boils down to the people, of course. Without you all none of this would have never happened, and I think it's a testament to our resilience that this forum exists and (sort of) still has active participation.

Maybe something can be said about the fact that every time I decide to show up, someone else from about eight years ago has decided to do the same. There's a certain intangible element about this place that always draws you back. How cool is that?

Although we've grown up, we can't disregard such a facet of our past. Sure, in the long run it might not shine as the most important part of your life, but it will continue you to influence everything you do in some small way. (I began using yellow as my font color here and it's stuck with me ever since... I never even liked yellow to begin with!).

Yikes, sorry for rambling; I must be getting old. Maybe someone can use my words of (quasi-)wisdom and then this will all be worth it. Who knows?

Best of luck to you all, INSUers. It's been an honor to be associated with this place. Until next time...

Obligatory OOC update: I'm finishing up my third year at college working for that physics degree, and looking for (eek!) grad schools so I can become Dr. Kez. I'm not married yet... that's kind of scary to think about. If anyone wants to shoot me an e-mail I have that linked; find me on facebook if you're interested. Take care, everyone.
