Well, I admit I don't post as much as I used to. I also admit that my posts might be a little less inspired than they used to be in general, as well. This is mainly because I've been much busier in my life with lots of things going on...lots of exciting things mind you. I should come here and share them with you guys more often. I traveled to Colombia a couple months ago and made a post about that and said I was gonna get some pictures up from the trip and post em for everyone cuz I couldnt wait to share it with all of you, but then I didn't follow through so I think maybe I'll go back and do that now if anybody's interested. A lot of pictures have been scanned now I just don't know where to host them if anybody could give me an idea on that or host them for me that would be helpful.
Also, I had a really weird spiritual experience last November or January that I made a thread about and even though I actually got a lot of positive feedback from some people who had advice about it, I was still discouraged by a couple of people who went out of their way to post that they thought it was little more than a joke and were very rude about it or went out of their way to say they didn't believe in such experiences and to give me the impression I shouldn't either like I was crazy or full of shit or something and like I haven't been involved with spirituality in a very big but skeptical way for a while now. I just got discouraged by that and started feeling like a lot of ppl weren't serious here anymore. Obviously, I took it too personally and this IS a videogaming board after all...there are forums designed for help with the other sort of thing.
I am very much over that, though. I just wonder like Meryl why the posts seem to not be taken so seriously anymore and really fun ideas for posts are shot down unlike in the past when people were up for it.
Well, I noticed that it seems my loooong posts are actually appreciated according to the awards thread. I apologize if a lot of them haven't been as long and inspired as they used to be. I put a heck of a lot of effort into some of those as I recall and I regret not having done the same more recently. I wonder if most of my posts have become boring and non-inspiring as opposed to my old ones where it seemed I always had so much to say and showed enthusiasm about it.
Seeing that people appreciate my posts, though, inspires me to make more of a comeback in that sense with more things to say to do my small part as a single forum member to help it all gain the momentum it needs to come alive again. Working together and also embracing the fun the new members bring to us I think we can make this place all the more exciting again. And, actually, it is doing pretty well right now....it just needs a little spark of some kind. So yeah...let's unite as a videogaming community and set things in motion here. Let's make more suggestions for fun thread ideas and we'll get ppl on them. I'm glad Mourdor took the initiative and started an awards thread. Thanks for starting this thread meryl. I think positive things might come out of this as more people read it.

PEACE ALL
