I suppose this is a bit of nostalgia for me. Not in terms of this forum specifically, but to foruming in general. That's still a word, right? That's what we still call it?
Anyways, I've been longing for a sense of community, while remaining somewhat anonymous as well. There is just something about being able to use a username that helps separate you from your everyday life that is so liberating. Not to share too much personal information, but being a business owner you can't voice your opinion too heavily on other social media. That and I'm sick of people sharing buzzfeed crock pot recipes all over my news feed. So I figured something more niche was necessary.
To give you all some background, my username-I struggled with immensely. I used to use usernames that I thought were cool or "badass" and the like. Right now? I figured it should be what I'm sipping on. Mmmmm the good stuff. I promise I'll decorate my profile with non-generics soon enough. But for now, Judge Gabranth is fine-I had a slight crush on him and Balthier. #gaymer XD
One reason I chose this forum in specific is the niche topic, as well as the sense of community I have observed before taking the plunge. I read recently another member was leaving due to rehab, and the support I saw was very indicative of what a community should be. Hoping the best for the member, and hoping I can contribute to this place in some way, shape or form. I can't guarantee I'll be as active as I'd love to be, but I do have work and a webshow hobby. Anyways, I'll shut up now. Hello everyone!
