Joined SL in 2007, SLU in 2011, and although I haven’t been in SL for several years I still do drive bys here. I guess I like some of you or something? Not all of you, obviously, but enough of you 
It is strange how so many of you have wormed your way into my subconscious, in ways I would never be able to list and certainly never expected a decade ago. I can see or eat or hear something and it will remind me of one of you. When a big event happens on the news, this is the first place I check. Not because there are news sources here I can’t get on Reddit or Twitter, but because I want to read your perspectives and reactions to them.
From the leaderboards in post counts to the OGs who make cameo appearances, to the quiet posters whose reactions I always smile when I receive even if you rarely post, the one liners to the one hundred worders, you have all made an impression on me and I think of you often even when I’m not here.
It’s strange to me really. I’m far more active on Reddit lately than here, but I probably couldn’t name 3 users there. I was in other forums before this one but that seems an eternity ago where it feels like yesterday we were talking about RedZone. There are people I spent hours with every day in SL, and yet many of my strongest memories and friendships link to this community not necessarily my in world circles.
I do miss SLU, I won’t lie. The special messages I had saved, the links, the friends list that went dark before we made the move. But the core of whatever it was that you all did to become so special to me survived and exists here.
My life has changed a lot in the last decade but I have to say, for better or worse I think you guys know me better than anyone in my life ever has, and probably ever will. The me I am with you is not only the most real, it’s one you helped me become.
Now get the fuck out of my head already. I have a big day tomorrow and need to sleep.
