What is dead may never die

After the redesign I, like many users, has left this once soulful and varied site. After many, many years, I came here again, to make sure that the patient is more alive than dead. Is there really not a single oldfaga which would be remembered by kiflom, the_crazy_grunge_girl, uolitter, s-clan nadopasana and other colorful characters of the talk in particular and forums in General? Why threads on the forums cause the eye to drain from melancholy and boredom, and blogging even more? Saw is that elder A. Soldier of Light and still amazed that in addition to the Guinness book of records to keep him around. Still bitterly remember how alive and vibrant this place only some five to seven years ago...
