Thanks for the welcome back. and also thanks for the help with the avatar. that was very much appreciated. things have changed but for the most part the site is the same from what ive seen. they can change the way we do everthing but as long a the soul and the goal of the site dosent change. well then really that is all that matters...

edit. i just realized my attempt at a rhyme. soul and goal. im a raper now that is why i left. can you tell. just kidding and that was an even sadder attempt at a joke.



NEW EDIT: did anyone catch that i called my self a raper above i ment to say rapper. man the implications one simple P could cause is crazy. im glad i caught that

you know, i was reading my old posts and couldnt even recognize it as my own work. i think if anything i have been dumbed down since i left. no other worldly experinces yet. im still waiting my turn for that. i have seen a lot though. i moved about 14 hours west of where i was living. and i like it here. my mom came home after being in the middle east for 5 years. so that was exciting. and im glad she is home now. anyways that is about it. u2u me some time and lets catch up, shall we?

Welcome back!

It's great to see a familiar avatar around here! There are a few more members who have been MIA: jpm1602, Benevolent Heretic, Dr.Strangecraft and probably others.

I'm calling out all lurkers!

Good to see you back among the disgruntled lot of conspiracy theorists, DG. We've had a few MIA and it's comforting to know that not all of them have been abducted. LOL.

BTW, what was life like without ATS? I know there was a time when I could have answered that question but I can't even imagine it now. Did you get withdrawal symptoms?

Welcome home, buddy.

well yeah i had some with draws. lol. like i said before life with out ats has dumbed me down. i forgot how informed this site made me. the only bad thing about coming back is i have a whole bunch of reading to do to catch up.

reply to post by kosmicjack


well that kinda sucks that so many have left. but maybe it is a bit like myself and not only do they need a little break but they got tied up with something and the next thing they knew a lot of time has passed. but hopefully like myself they will return. i know i have been warmly welcomed back not just on this thread but many of my old friends have sent me u2u's and made me wonder why i left in the firs place.



REPLY TO EVERYONE:

THANKS FOR WELCOMEING ME BACK

Welcome back!

You see, I thought everyone that "went missing" from ATS, ended up with a BAD fate.

Have you disappeared?

Good to see you here.

Dorian Soran

I am so glad to see you back DGribble!

Ok so we have already been u2uing one another since your mysterious return, come on tell everyone about your real secrect departure and who you really are! Oh for goodness sakes admit it, you are Obama!!!

And Change your undies dale!

Lol all in good fun, but really glad to see you back to shake things up around here,

reply to post by antar


well it is odd that i left when the elections where getting fired up and i made a return when he got settled into office. strange indeed.

i refuse to change my undies however i do iron then now and then the fire cheif gets mad when i ware a rumpled uniform to work
