Boo the Gentleman Caller:
To My Dear Friends,

I was cleaning out some old boxes in my basement in the Depths of the Night and found a burned CD with the simple text "CT Archive" -- the Sealed Door of nostalgia washed over me. This was a CD archive I had made back in 2003 of all the remixes I'd collected over the years; I've since backed it up to my computer and have been further washed over with bittersweet nostalgia while listening to it (my god, I forgot how good the Zeal Love OC Remix was).

It made me miss the old days. I didn't create this account until around 2007/2008, but before that I lurked for several years beforehand, so even though I wasn't contributing to conversation, I still "felt" like part of the community in a werid way. It wasn't until after *Prophet's Guile* I finally broke down and created an account (I think I was trying to get help with it or something). Anyway...

I miss the days of V_Translanka and his forum naziism. The days of unabashed conversation about whether or not Zeality was a megalomaniac. Of Faust_Wolf's optimism for fanon. Of Kyronea and Lifawolf (I'm still rocking her hekran art) and satoh and sajaintah and justin_3009 and magil and Mauron and Thought and tushantin and themage and alfador and Kebrel and Chrono'99 and maggiekarp and Radical_Dreamer and Romana and Zakyrus and Tact and Vehek and utunnels and TemporalKnight and Shadow Darkman and grey_the_angel and MrBekkler and Lord_J and a thousand others I can't remember off the top of my head. Good times and bad, I miss it all.

I miss Chrono Trigger. These days I can barely get through a playthrough. I am old. I am now a dad with a career... and very little time for fan projects let alone actually playing video games. I used to sit on here and refresh the tab to see what new posts would come in. I'd wake up early and check the forum for new posts. I would scour for new remixes archived here that I may have missed.

It's bittersweet and I miss it dearly. I'm nostalgic. I have Yearnings for the Wind. Time is slipping as it does, the Light of Silence upon my heart.

Thanks to all for the memories. I love and miss you all.

I'm not deactivating my account or anything, just had to get that off my chest.

Kodokami:
Boo! Almost scared me there :P

Yeah, the nostalgia is hard. I miss it all too. I joined in 2009, but, like you, lurked for some time. I loved this community. Haven't found anything like it since. Aside from periodically peeking in here, I think I still keep up with ... just one old Compendiumite? Makes me sad.

I'm still rocking Licawolf's art too! (My profile image is part of one she drew for me.) And Zeal Love is still on my regular playlist. Though I never knew it was from 2003.

I hope everything is well with you, Boo. And everyone else!

EDIT: All this time and I only now reached 800 posts. :o

utunnels:
It becomes too quiet recently.

skylark:
Even though it's quiet, at least there are still a couple of projects being worked on.

...which reminds me, I still need to finish the story synopsis for mine. =<

Mauron:
I'm still hacking away at the game - sometimes too slowly.
