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.
I would love to see those pics...unfortunately, I don't know any good hosting places, I'm sorry. ^^;;;

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.
Oh yes, I remember that "Supernatural thread". I love that thread so much! I only mentioned some of the older, older ones otherwise this thread you created is also one of my favs. As for all the joking, I don't think that people didn't believe you (there are some skeptics) but I think that a majority of the thread went pretty seriously despite some of the joking around.

Now we have cool people, but this sense of familiarity with everybody is lost, I suppose. Not that it is negative, since I know many members are close friends thanks to these forums, but I don't know how to explain it, it was a different kind of relationship with others.
I completely agree with you. I also felt the same back then and that's how I'm kinda feeling.

The threads meryl mentioned sounded cool, and nothing in the rules say they can't be started again!
True, but I just hope that old threads re-started again will have that same spark. I'll give it a try.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention another one of my favorite threads in my first post: "Say Something Nice!" created by happy_doughnut ^_^
