Hello,
Was just talking to someone very randomly about this place today and reminiscing. I'm amazed to see it is all still here, the threads are even the same!!
So couldn't resist popping in to say hello to you all.
Hope everyone is well. :hug2:
Some renovations, but otherwise everything is mostly intact.

Welcome back. ;D
Thanks Davin,
In all honesty I doubt I'm "back", time is limited with work and life etc. I tend to spend more time on discord when I do get online these days. I just was talking to someone about the evolution of the internet, MSN messenger etc which made me think about all the places I had been a member on. I didn't know if this place was still around.
Please tell me you at least brought the tacos.
Hello Claire! :computerwave:
Whether you're back or not it's always nice to see people pop in and post again. :grin:
Hi :hug:
Hello Claire!
It's nice to hear from you again. :hug:
Yes, we're still here. :grin:
AND the threads are even the same!! :grin:
The ones you started are still popular: The future of the forum, (my favorite ;) ), What are you watching? Etc.
It would be nice if you came back, you know, with new topics. ;)
Hi CLT. I/We have missed your often intellectual posts.
Your lion kitten must be approaching teen age by now.
Here is wishing the best for you both.
Hello, good to see you all still here.
Icarus - yes she is 10 now, so in second to last year before going to high school. She is doing very well in school, keeps winning awards and stuff but more than that I'm very proud of her caring ways. She's a real little gem.
Magdelena - I'm not sure I can think of any new topics to beat those ones, I fear I peaked back then!
I guess the biggest news which will shock you lot is that I'm not *that* atheist anymore. I did even try to go to church a couple of times, that.....didn't last as I saw the BS. But I'm definitely more towards the mysticism along the lines of esotericism and neoplatonism type principles. More from an academic interest POV than practising anything too insane. So I haven't gone too bat shit crazy, more along the lines of there are things we can't quite explain.....
So there aren't any tacos?
Claire, Esotericism yes. My past assessment of you is that you were an intellectually advanced individual. Neoplatonism.......Hmmmm...... is that something associated with a combinations of the pronouncements of Plotinus of the third century mixed with some oriental philosophies?
You have, in my perception, been a fascinating woman. If I were but 50 years younger I might pursue you.............Please, that is intended as a compliment not at all the maunderings of a crazy old man.
Wow Icarus, is your birthstone magma?

Would you like to have some tea and tell us about mysticism along the lines of esotericism and neoplatonism type principles?

From an academic interest POV, of course.
If you're busy, I understand. ;)

That might be interesting but I think there's a more urgent issue that needs settling, it needs its own thread though.
Hi CLT! Great to see you around, if only for a short while! I often think about that day we walked down to the foreshore for some fish and chips, it was fabulous!
Sadly no tacos
Icarus - you old dog, you don't lose your charm!
I might come on and post about neoplatonism at some point, I just find it interesting.
Bluenose - yes I remember that day. I don't live there anymore, but am still near the sea. They were good fish and chips though!
Just read about Gloucester. I remember him joining. En_Route dying still hits me too tbh.

Finally! Another Agnostic Theist! (as claimed by me out of purely selfish reasons)
Great to hear from you! Hope all is well, even if over busy...
