Yes yes, look what Choc dragged in. Must be well over 2 years since i've logged on but i must say, it's good to be back. One look at all the familiar names on the visits list and i'm gettin' all watery eyed and stuff. Okay, okay. Enough melodrama. Plenty 'o time for explanations and all that later. Just thought i'd drop a quick line to let you all know there's another lurker lurkin' about.

Hello Ironworkers old and new!

[er, i seem to have forgotten all the fancy emoticon syntax... Oh, woe is me!]

Welcome back, Sever! Always good to see old faces back around the place. :D

Welcome back! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Welcome back, Sever!!

Don't worry about the emoticons, I always use the wrong ones as well [img]graemlins/finger.gif[/img]

EDIT: Now how did that one get in there? :D ;)

Thanks Cloudy, Ladyzekke and Link ( [img]graemlins/finger.gif[/img] It's all comin' back now!)

Just spent about an hour or so reading through a whole bunch of archive stuff (now i am gettin' emotional) and although i recognise so many names, there's quite a lot that seem to be missing. Davros, LennonCook, sylent, GokuZool, dragon_lord, Leonis, Shadowhound... you guys still here? Or AWOL like i been for way too long.

Anyways. It's 1:00am down here now so it's beddy byes for moi. Gotta see if i can dream me up a new sig...

Well, I've seen Davros and LennonCook about the place recently and I know sylent was around a month or two ago briefly. Leonis is without regular internet access right now but still around and I'm not sure but Shadowhound may have been on not long ago.

Welcome back Sever. Must admit, I don't remember you. But you could have been "before my time". :D

I think I remember the name, but I could be wrong...

Anyways, welcome back and stick around this time ;)

OK, I don't think I remember you, but on the off chanceI'm meant to know you:

Welcome back, things just haven't been the same without you! :D

Don't remember you, but...


Welcome back! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hello Hivetyrant, Dragonshadow, Aragorn1 and Sir Goulum :wave:. Don't feel bad if you can't remember - it has been more than 2 years after all. But your names spring to mind. Deeds, on the other hand, i'm terrible at remembering so it may take me a while to figure who does what exactly.

This is the stuff i miss about this place ;) . You're fishin' Aragorn1, but thanks heeps anyway.

Wa-hey!! I only just realised you were from Australia after looking at you're profile [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's all good, you can never have too many Aussies :D

I promised you guys an explaination for my absence. No car crashes or UFO abductions (or terrorism - hasn't that picked up in 2 yrs?!) are to blame. I wasn't holed up in some old sheep station way out woop-woop, nor was i incarcerated in rehab (though it may have helped). :shrug:

No, the real reason is far less dramatic. IIRC around the time of my last known whereabouts, i was having trouble staying connected to IW due to problems with the server or browser or both. I followed the advice of someone here and entered the url in a txt file somewhere on my pc in order to fix the problem and bang. No more IW. I sort of forgot exactly what i did to frag it up so i wasn't able to reverse it. I've also forgotten who it was that told me to do it (but i'll be watchin..! Hmm, archives. :ponder:)

Anyway, after a few weeks the withdrawals had subsided and i sort of gave up on the whole forum thing. Played Morrowind to lengths that would be deemed unhealthy and tried to pick up where i left off on other forums but it just wasn't the same. Too many flamin' morons out there.

Eventually my pc got so clagged up with junkware (spyware - another thing that's blown out of proportion in 2 yrs!) that i had to format. Then, out of the blue, i remembered IW and thought i'd give it a try. Voila! That was last night.

Grr, time flies. Work again. 2 b continued...

I don't remember you either. Welcome!

<font color="cyan">I remember your name, but don't think we've had any great conversations.

Welcome back though!</font>

Well, I should remember... I'm usually good with names. ;) Maybe you just remember me because I was in such a posting flurry back then. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Either way, at least you returned!

LOL. I think I remember your name. Welcome back. :D
