Very cool NBD, makes me nostalgic for all my old signatures, most a few hard drives back now. Miss the good ol days when a quality sig was everything, and artform in itself
. So many of my own names and aliases I've long forgotten about, likewise many communities I used to frequent have long disbanded. Thinking back feels a bit like a rebellion disbanding after losing to the empire, people of many faces and hats all cast to the wind.
Maybe I should change occupation to "retired" carrot hunter, don't want to give people the wrong idea, like that I actually do work and anything other than just tippy tap all day long
.
Video killed the radio star, and I think maybe it was facebook that killed the forum star (and a whole lot of other things). Think it opened up a lot of the world to the idea of the internet being a social medium, but just got too big and swallowed everything else up, and for many what we gained did not improve upon what existed. Still amazes me that HC is here and continues to thrive in the face of it all though.
On the complaining front (this one directed at myself) I was trying to get into something I haven't used for maybe 4-5 years yesterday, couldn't remember the password... but then I remember I had been "clever" (said as sarcastically as you can muster) and used a phrase from my favorite series if sci-fi books.... But cannot remember what the phrase was, although I can still feel it gnawing at the back of mind. So, the question was, how much do I want to get back in. Enough to read through 10000+ pages of the series until it jogs my memory? Nope. So probably just more things to be lost to history.
