It's been quite a while since I've visited this forum, but I'm very happy that I checked in on it today! I don't know what the history behind this is, but the whole tenor of this site seems to have changed significantly for the better than it used to be! I love the new, respectful atmosphere and the more subtle "signatures" people are using (no more large annoying gifs, etc.). Was there a specific turning point/"reboot" (just curious)? If so, how long ago? The difference is very noticeable!Great job, everyone, on making this a much friendlier, pleasant place to converse about TSTO!

Hello @SandraShill :) The forum still has it's moments believe me...But mostly changed for the better. Perhaps the new like, insightful and agree buttons helped. Plus you can flag and report easy enough without an argument!

Thanks for pointing out those new options...hadn't noticed them yet! :)

You'll see you get enough of each you earn a badge it's quite funny... I've never considered myself insightful before :D

@johncolombo Hmmmm....not sure when....I've probably popped in for a quick check on something maybe three months ago, but it's probably been closer to six months or a year (or more?) since I really looked at the forum. My sense of time is pretty bad these days, lol!

Very Pleasant Surprise! (re forum, not game)

@0Brooders0 How do you have enough time to post comments regularly on all three sites? Have you found a way to clone yourself? If so, do let me know how...I desperately need a way to double my work capacity right now (not to mention getting personal stuff done, too).

Hi Sandra! So good to get to talk to you! I know we met on the Addicts forum, which is wonderful, but I find too unwieldy to communicate on. I like the topics here. I can read what I'm interested in, but, just, hey, so glad to talk to you, neighbor. Hope you continue to check in.
