Internet nostalgia is a tricky thing to pinpoint at times... I mean, does it happen one real-life week after the initial internet event occurs? A real-life month after? A real-life year after? Or when someone just has to bring it up even after everyone else has, for better or for worse, initially forgot that that did just happen on the internet?
Anyway, the reason why I bring up these questions is that for the first time since looking through some of my [old] post here on The Escapist, I felt this nostalgic feeling while looking through them... Was it because of the [bookmarked] thread that my post took place in[footnote]Like <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.831705.20311383>this post, for example...[/footnote]? Was it because of what my post was saying either in and/or out of context[footnote]Like <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.863207.21542332>this post, for example...[/footnote]? Or was it because of something else that just relates back to my old post in question (like how it came to be and/or what was going on in parallel to real life)[footnote]Like <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/362.841168.20883010>this post, for example...[/footnote]?
So, first thing first Escapist community, have you ever looked back at some of your own [old] post before? If so, then were they part of thread you previously bookmarked? If not, then has anyone reminded you about any of your [old] post before? Now, to relate it back to the thread title, has there ever been a particular post on The Escapist (made by you or anyone else here) that made you feel nostalgic... even if the post in question isn't that old in real-life time? And, as a follow-up question, could you still link back to it (in general)?
