Hey guys, I used to post on here all the time then just kinda fell off. Anyways, is there anything new going on here? Anything exciting I should know about? Are any of the other oldheads still here?

Whatever, just wash your hands.
I've been here forever. If you just joined back then you missed the v2 days of the politics discussions that ended with a few oldheads being kicked again. Now I mainly just pay attention to game stuff.

Mostly it's the same old people who've been here for ages, and often the same old discussions as well.
So nothing has changed lol

To be fair, most of the ones kicked were from the v1 days of the bad times, or at least it felt like it with how some of them argued.

Yeah, I remember political discussions would get wild back in the day.

Hey, I recognize that username and avatar. How you been?

But yeah, not much really different. The big change was obviously the Escapist coming under new management and the site migrating to its v2 incarnation back in 2020. Bunch of people moved over, bunch didn't, bunch dropped off soon after. Escapist management used to frequent the forums, but shifted their focus on growing the Discord and Youtube channel instead. Sort of left the forums to their own devices. Barring a couple exceptions, now it's mostly us ancients stubbornly refusing to leave the place behind.

Pretty good all in all, thanks. Gained some health issues these last couple years, but on the flipside, also gained a significant other. So, you know, ups and downs.

We talked few times, and while I don't remember all the conversations, they all were positive whenever you and I interacted. I was known as CoCage on the V1 thread. Glad to see an old friendly user again.

Haha that's exactly what happened to, not any major health issues though. I hope yours aren't major either.
Well since you've been gone I'm made a least one Reuben sandwich, so that's pretty exciting. That's pretty nice.
I hope it was tasty friendo

Well, I certainly remember your name.

As has been mentioned a few times, yes the forum is now pretty much just a small bunch of us stubborn old dinosaurs that refuse to move with the times. Nothing particularly new or exciting really, but it has a comfortable familiarity that I guess is why most of us stick here.

Oldheads is quite apt actually, cos this feels at times like some kind of digital retirement home full of old farts arguing about the same shit they’ve been arguing about since we were young.

And now I’ve set myself up to want pudding.
