FalseParadigm: Chew, chew, chew. That is the thing to do.

It's been years since I've read the forums, and even longer since I've posted regularly. I know things were getting weird around SA for a while there and maybe that was part of why I stopped, but honestly the rest of the web is loving terrifying and I needed to come home to mommy Lowtax. The internet today is a far cry from the usenet forums I grew up on and the SA community I spent the majority of formative years reading. I'm an old man now, and seeing what has become of the general web landscape has broken my heart.

I barely knew anyone on SA when I was a "regular" and I have the feeling I'll recognize fewer names now, but I know the love is still here. Please tell me the love is still here.

BYOB is the only non-heartbreaking place left on the internet. Please pull up a chair and get comfortable, friend.

Thanks!

This av was bestowed upon me by a great BYOB poster and artist back in 2012. As far as I know, this is their original work, but I don't remember who it was

I think a little light ribbing(like Factsareuseless post) from time to time isn't bad; and maybe even good. I mean this is an Internet COMEDY forum. Its like that group of friends that pick on you because they're your friends.

Its all in good fun at the end of the day, and not legitimate trolling.

Thank you, very nice I like. For the insanely win sig.
