I originally left the board because I got burnt on being online too much. I also got wrapped up in issues that would go on here because I was a sr. mod back then. I started thinking it was too ridiculous of me to care so much about "online" stuff and so I just sort of came on less and less which ended up being not at all and that went on for nearly a decade. It just didn't seem to fit my life anymore as I got involved in other things and taking care of my kids, my job, etc. Getting into an old email account and seeing my info on there, for here, is what got me to pop back in and say hi. I think as long as people are still active on here, I will come back on several times a week at least. I still interact on Facebook with several I befriended on here like 16 years ago
