I'm back (again, kinda...)

[Deleted]

'Ello again, everyone. I left mid-last year due to some pretty serious emotional issues, more info here, but now I'm trying to get past it. To catch up a little bit on other things, I'm currently enrolled in Iowa State's Computer Engineering curriculum as a sophomore and live just north of the beautiful campus in an apartment.

To any new members who might not know me, I've been an on-and-off member since late 2005. To everyone else, hi again! I missed ya.

And as Nabu might notice, I'm not exactly stubbly anymore.


So... what have I missed?

[Ashley Benlove]

A lot of us have missed you, Will. I'm glad to see you on the forum again. And I hope you conquer your emotional issues. May I recommend seeing a counselor/therapist, if you haven't already? Most college campuses have a counseling center.

And it really is helpful to talk to somebody who is completely neutral and intelligent about the issues. It does not help to keep everything bottled up.

As to what you've missed... dracko resigned in May of last year. That's the only major thing I can think of. RD created a new forum, which if you want, you can visit here.

Thanks Miss Benlove... I've considered counseling, but don't really know how much it would help in comparison to talking to friends and family about it, which I've done plenty of. Heck, last week, I talked to my sister on the phone and cried for almost an hour. And I've got a couple other friends who I can talk to about anything, and they were there with me since the beginning. That said, if my condition worsens, which it very-well could, I'll definitely reconsider it. There's like, three buildings dedicated to that kind of stuff on campus, so yeah, it's easily accessible help.

I think I might have around for Dracko's resignation. It sounds familiar. Is he still around? He was working on a cool calendar project for months before I left, but maybe he decided to scrap it.

And RD has his own forum now? I'll have to visit one of these days. It's been ages since I've talked to him.

[Ashley Benlove]

That's good. Because if you need help, get help.

Dracko still kind of appears, but not so much.

RD's forum is dedicated to animation in general. And you're certainly welcome, as one of the admins of ACC, I'd love to see you there.

And it's about the only time left in your left when you can make use of a counselor for free. Once you graduate, they become very expensive.

Didn't somebody once say we looked alike?!

[Lord FunkyHoof]

Hey you! I can't really remember ya, but your name rings a bell :>

Either way, it's always good to see an old member pop on back.

Thanks guys. I missed coming here.

Oh, just so much drama!

Drama drama drama drama llama drama drama....

Yeah... Probably not-so-much anymore. ;D Where is that kid?

(Disclaimer: "kid" should not be taken literally, since, well, the person in question is technically older than the person who asked)

[Donne]

Hiya. I'm Donne. Nice to see an old member, even if I didn't know you!

Thanks. It's cool that the forum is still getting new members well after the series ended. It's a great community.
