Frankie was the author when I first started coming around. I was also an immature fourteen year old at the time that typed in a lot of internet speak. I never took notice to members way back in the day, but I do know all of those names. I really wasn't an active forum member until I was in college. I haven't been to this site consistently across the nine years that I have been here, unfortunately. However, I recently came back because I was getting bored of just looking at reddit all day and was hoping for there to be interesting topics and good discussions here... As you may know, that is not something that is common on this website. Maybe I'm just remembering the good things, but before I left this site the last time I felt as if the topics were better and easier to have a good back and forth with members of the forum. However, since the site update I feel the new format doesn't lead to good back and forths and makes one on one discussions more common. I also feel that the quality of the topics has really degraded, but that might just be me maturing and not wanting to deal with the stupid threads that plague The Flood.
