Like I said before, there were also no sub-forums in the GD back then. Everything was in one place, so you had everyone in one section discussing everything the GD offers now, which means you were bound to run into and talk to pretty much everyone at some point.

LOL nah - you're entrenched; I am but a fledgeling poster, a sparrow amidst the eagles. But you are right; we haven't really crossed paths/gotten to know each other at all really as the VG section is one of the few places I don't go.

As you said, with the division of the sub-forums, it's more common to have members whose paths rarely (if ever) cross.

Likewise; I lurked the boards for a very long time before I joined - I'm actually really glad I did as I think I learned about TMNT lore from just listening (or reading, as the case may be). Truthfully, sometimes I'm surprised that I ended up joining here at all as there are a lot of strong, outgoing personalities here and as a rule, I'm not much of a joiner. On the other hand, it's such a great source for TMNT news and people here seemed to be having so much fun, so the decision was made - and I'm glad, as I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the place in the time I've been here, and met some really cool people.

I guess some people just "grew up".

See, now that gives me hope - hope that one day we shall all embrace one another as brothers.
