Status: offline 		I just noticed that I've been a member of this forum for almost 5 years.

I've seen some pretty heated discussions here and I've seen Erik irritated more than once!

But all in all, you guys are really good bunch of people. I learned a LOT from you good people about the Pacific War. There are times where I'm afraid to contribute for fear of looking like a moron.(My wife would say that doesn't take much! )

I hope to be here for another 5 years. *raises toast*

Hi all,
I'm about to reach 2 years in this forum and I hope to be here for many, many other years!

P.S. Emo sucks, metal rules!

Met some nice people here. One from germany even helped me to buy SP mega campaign back when I was student and didnt have credit card.

Unfortunately, I really don't like paying attention to how fast time flies, it just gets me depressed.

Personally it doesn't give me much joy though, the only thing I can think of is: where the heck did those years go?
I wish I was a newbie... and 10 years younger LOL

Emo is two things. A form of music that is similiar to alternative,..but with a heavy slant to self pity, and also a 'lifestyle' or 'clique' depending on how you perceive these type things. It is similiar to the 'Goth' types, as far as appearance,....dark hair,....very pale skin (usually make up is used to achieve this), dark makeup around the eyes to give a sunken in look, studded bracelets, collars, etc..........but with a HEAVY slant towards self pity. The self pity aspect is where the 'Emo' tag comes from. They are 'emotional' or feel sorry for themsleves and how misunderstood they are.

Be careful though,......just becasue a kid likes to wear dark clothes, and studded bracelets, collars etc,...doesnt make them Emo......in fact when I was a youth the exact same look would have been called 'metal'.

I wonder what all those Axis & Allies type kiddies are doing now.

But as you can see I am more  a player than a poster.

The days when WIR 2.0, PACWAR 2.0 or SP2WW2 were published at  "thegamers.net" during the late 90´s seem to be just like yesterday.

Does anybody here remember the old pacwar-list?

Lord, I´m getting old

Status: offline 		It does make me wonder, sometimes, how long people have been here with so few posts. There's nothing wrong with it, but I would've thought in 10 years there would have been one or two topics on the General Discussion forum that might have perked your interest enough to join in on....or even with games you've bought...tech questions? Or requests? Maybe even asking about up and coming games?

So what makes someone who has registered for 10 years, or even less, refrain from posting? Absolutely nothing at all grabs your fancy in terms of debate? No questions about up coming games or games you have?

As for low post counts, sometimes it is better to read than to write...  To the OP, Happy Anniversary.

In my case, pure laziness.

7 Years and running, wish I was more active though but time restrains me usually as far as wargaming goes

Same here. Thanks for the great community

But back in the day(80's) I bet most of our parents looked at us and our bretheren and said the same thing..... Most of us became "normal"...... We have become our parents...hehehe
