WELCOME BACK DGN ROCK STARS!!!!!!!!!

I was so excited to see so many original DGNers posting today that I felt the original welcome back shout out definitely warranted a re-posting.

Original "Welcome back!" thread re-posted by permission:

Somehow i manage to rub some people the wrong way even though I honestly go OUT of my way to try and be nice. Hell i preach the good word of trying to be more polite in a world of rudeness. Just .. can't seem to help it sometimes, it just happens. :( Bad part is when you have no chance to "fix it" because the person that is miffed essentially just wont listen and every thing you say after, they somehow just turn into something bad no matter what you do.

If only!
In that picture, I was 27ish, 6'4" 190lbs.
In late December I was up to 233lbs.
Around then I got sick of being out of shape, started powerlifting (I still lift like a bitch - but I'm consistant!) and have cut back down to 213.

Nice! I'm considering CrossFit. I think that it will help me with roller derby .

Do you deadlift? It hits the glute and hamstring muscles pretty hard, as well as the back. The pushing motion on the skates is powered through the glutes and hams, so it could help there.

I'll be honest, I've missed ya! We didn't see each other around often but I always liked running into you either on here or IRL.

Even I have come back.

Woohoo!

Aww ... they like us. They really, really like us.

I wuvs you all!

At least TronRP likes us, right? :)

One of the moderators apparently was aware that many people came back with the specific intention of being assholes, planned i guess on FB.But our mod was in a bad mood apparently and overreacted as there are plenty of good natured people that are around as well. I wasn't on DGN for the last 24 hours or so.

I spend most of my time trying to be a nice person, have i come off the wrong way unitentionally ? Sure. But who hasn't. I don't hold a grudge against anyone for all that long. People change. One of the reasons I didn't mind letting DGN become so much lower-activity than it used to be (besides my health going to shit) was the drama just wasn't worth it to keep it a "bigger" place. Too stressful.

For whatever reason , people just cant help themselves from being pre-meditated being jerks. Something that might have been attractive to me when i was 16 but not now that i know how little the world needs more douchebags. Why do people continue to act like this as adults? Not enough hugs as kids is my only (actually serious) guess. Which is just hell, bad for your life and the planet to act that way. We don't need any more rude people in the world, there are plenty.

Hell, still love all you guys,

even the jerks (who I don't even know who they are really, as i cant assign someone being a jerk like 6 years ago to them STILL being jerks now, everyone changes).

Misinformed, he was. Yes, there was FB goings on. For Throwback Thursday, the eternal posted his original DGN introduction post and said, "Remember when?" That spawned over 1,000 replies of nostalgia. Jynxxxedangel and I said that we should all log into DGN and post as if we had never left. A bunch of people thought that was a good idea, and here we are. That was the plan. There was no plan for assholery. Some people may have only posted on that one day, but many of us realized just how much we missed this place and planned on sticking around to see if we could rekindle the good ol' days.

sorry, got to call you on that spook. you were the one who suggested the one day posting and not coming back...there were two others who jumped on that band-wagon as well, one of whom i'd forgotten had, but i never expected to...

Are we seriously going to try to argue about this? We came back because some of us haven't been in contact, and we missed old friends. We also remember how awesome this place was at one time, and there is always hope that it can and will be that again. We have not been weenies in the least, but here we go with the need to "call" people out on things. You could have done this in a private message. Maybe this kind of thing is why people left in the first place.

Am I going to get banned for this now?

I'll admit, when someone first brought up the "wouldn't it be a gas if we all showed up, posted for one day, then went back to life?" (I don't think it was spook but I don't recall who it was) I was up for it, just thinking it would be odd and quirky. As the day progressed and I came back here to post, I backed off of that and commented that it felt too mean spirited and that I actually kind of missed the place. I took the stance that I'll give it another run, because DGN has been good to me.

I left this site in anger over a situation I don't feel the need to rehash. I didn't think initially that I missed it but once I logged in and started remembering all the fun I had and the friends I made, it kind of made my heart ache to interract with them all again.

So midnight came and went and I'm still here.

sorry, just irked me to see a half-truth posted as the whole truth. it's obvious to me that anything i say is going to be jumped on as being out of line, so i'm going to stop posting for a bit. i hope you'll all continue to enjoy the board, and i'll do my best to stay in the background and not get in the way. :)

You sound as though your torn asunder! *giggles*

Torn, I hear ya. When bits and pieces come in, its hard to keep everything straight, especially when not everyone is on the same page.

I try not to be on FB any more than short bursts because it was sucking too much of my day, so I did not see any of the "hey, lets get back on for a day" business, and knew nothing about that. I heard people were getting back on, and thought, with a happy face, "why not?"

TronRP gave us all a very hearty Welcome Back, as did LilyLu, and that was truly appreciated.

We're back. Some of us will stay, some of us won't.

Can we all please just embrace it, go with it, and have a good time?

I just really want to say, regardless of all the behind the scenes, I am really enjoying getting a first hand look at the legendary activity of everyone on DGN that I have only been reading about in posts of old.

In my opinion, all postings are worth it, whether good or bad, as they represent us at that particular moment in time in our lives (some of which never to be repeated again)...

...that was the main reason behind the driving force that prompted me to want to recreate this thread for all of you. Unfortunately, my dyslexia started kicking up something fierce some time into it so I was worried I wouldn't be able to do the original thread justice (that and the fact that there is a limit to how many images you can paste into one posting...)

Although I have only met a couple of you in person, I feel as though I have known all of you for years just from the legacy in words you've started here in days past...so yeah, I've been geeking out since June 26th...

And with that, I'm putting my heart back into my chest and returning you to your regularly scheduled posting...
