The one thing that can be guaranteed here is that people who post regularly for a couple of years will disappear for a long while and then come back and realise that everything's exactly the same as they left it only Spikey and Skanky have doubled their post counts.

That would be quite the DL. A 22,000 post DL.

Unless you're actually a computer virus that took over FP's computer while he was away and played all those PBEMs to maintain the facade that you're actually a human being.

I mean...think about it...no sane human being could keep all those PBEMs straight and make all those posts. It HAS to be a computer virus.

oh matey, that is too bad... what have you done?

maybe if you apologise to the People in the Shadows now, then all will be well.

a glorious place like this should not really have such institutions for lads like yourself anyway. you always come across as someone who cares and gets involved, so surely that will all be taking into consideration

I use this site (and my games in CTP & CIVIII) like others use Alcohol or Fishing or whatever your particular recreation is.

I have my Grandson to play with on weekends sometimes (today we spent the day going to his first ever petting zoo's and wouldnt trade that experience for anything)

I work long hours managing a very busy tension filled market in the Ready Mix Industry

It is fun for me

I am usually at a very hectic pace so this is nothing, very relaxing for the most part.

Thats why I enjoy Apolyton the most because it is very enjoyable

Thats why I love posting and being very active

Got to admit, though, it's so much of a home online for me that losing this site would be quite sad - there are many sites I visit regularly, a few that I realy like a lot, but there is only one that is like home, and this it is.

Well

Having come from a past Life of Fighting and Drugs and Alcohol

She is happy I am moving past that

She does her Ebay and Closer to my heart crafting

We are set up on a network and spend many hours next to each other.

She knows me, while the Lord Jesus is working on my temperment, she knows I need some recreation and would rather I am here

than smoking Crack or PCP or Cocaine or Pot or Crystal Meth

Yes folks

It wasnt that long ago when I lived with Bikers and Bounced and was a rather rough character

But

fighting a chicken wing is about the extent nowadays


I do have such fun here

Wait till you meet the Japanese in "handshake", Gramps my friend.

Thanks for sharing GT. You are indeed courageous. And if you are going to have an addiction, Civ is not a bad one to have.

Peace.

And btw, speaking of meeting folks, Big Furry Monster came to visit me here in Toronto last year. It was a lot of fun to meet, get to know one another, and chat about the early days of the PTWDG. And besides, he uses a picture of one of my cats as his avatar now.
