so i was searching trough the archives, when i came across this: so then i remembered. damn, how could i forgot? Retro! Does anyone know where's Retro? I liked it, and his pressence is missing. cahaz _
you know maybe there should be a missing members thread, cause its true he did use to post alot.................
that's a good idea you know? If a modero could change the name of the thread to fit it's new purpose, that would be great, like ''were's charlie (*erase and put a lost member name here*)'' or something, i liked the were's charlie idea. :smt042 edit: it would be great to post his avatar, just like we put the photo of a missing person on milk boxes.
How high does there post count have to be before we care they are missing? I know I sound mean, but there are a lot of posters that have like 10 posts and left forever.
Well, that's the point. It's not surprising if someone who seldom posts stops doing so for a huge while. Plus, the likelihood of his posts having been read or replied to by other members is quite lower as well - so many won't notice. This fellow, however, had interacted with many members frequently, so his being away is easier to notice. He had been away for a while last time he posted, though. I'll say he's very busy, though I don't really know him (he did help me find the problem with my Snes, though - he's a cool fellow).
Ahh, who's stealing my pic bandwidth in this thread? Hehe only joking!! Damn, I just wrote this, and it asked me to sign in again! I lost what I wrote!!! Thanks guys for missing me! Aww, don't I feel loved now! hehe. Nice to hear some friendly comments - I've always considered this a very friendly community - I guess that's why I spent so much time on here! It is always nice to give something back too... so yeah, sure I tried to help others where I could Yeah, its been a while, sorry! Indeed I have been busy - trying to find a job, trying to scrape together enough money to live in the meantime, battling against my illness worsening lately... quite a lot on my plate! heh. If I'm online lately, I'll often be doing a website for someone... had quite a few to sort!! I was one of the top 10 posters for quite a while since the vBulletin move... I'm surprised to see I'm still top 15!! Damn, I came on here too much!!! I'll endeavour to keep looking in, anyway. Still, one of the worst things for me..... not having a job, not having any money, seeing lots of rare cool things, and not being able to afford them!! And there were a LOT of good things all at once at one point - depressing or what?!? Many once in a lifetime chances, too!! Oldengineer, yeah I'm still local... although I dunno where exactly you are! Somewhere within a 20 min drive, I believe! heh. BTW, have you been in Play-Away? As I said, nice to feel wanted, and to be asked after. Perhaps the suggestion of a "where are they?" thread is a good idea?
Great to see you back, Retro. I'm sorry about your situation, though. Things have to get better. They will.
Glad to hear you're still around. hope you'll post more often now. ...and what's that illness problem? i never heard of that.
Thanks guys! Cahaz, I suffer from M.E., or as it is often known (technically slightly different things, but for all intents and purposes the same), CFS. Makes me tired a lot (sure, I know we all are!), can affect memory, co-ordination, balance, muscle and joint pains, memory, makes me tired a lot.... haha j/k, my memory isn't THAT bad!!
