@Godley_Ghost,

There was a time when there was a &crapload of Dmods coming out. This meant there was a lot of focus on learning the new things each tried to implement, dreaming up better or at least different ways of doing that, many new puzzles to be solved, and all the conversations that go along an evolving community.

Where we are now; much of the community has at least partially moved on to other areas of life, but this will always be at least a small part of how we came to be the people we are. If there are fewer Dmods to be explored, enjoyed, torn apart, compared, or any other verb you can do to them, I see nothing wrong with discussing the the things that people in a community tend to talk about...life.

We all came here when we did, because there was some void that needed to be filled and Dink was the one thing that we could bond through. I have met some amazing people here, yes a few idiots too, but the idiots eventually either mature or move on. The amazing people seem to come back from time to time, and if that is the only thing that happens here, I don't see that as a problem. If we happen to see a new Dmod now and then, all the better.

Remember, Dink arrived to this world long before Hi-speed internet, I still remember thinking that 9600 was superfast compared to what I had before. In fact, I still remember my first download of Winzip taking just under 2 hours. While we should embrace new technologies and ways people think, we should also temper that with remembering how they once were. Then, we can more fully appreciate just how far we have come.

Unless of course you're a sock puppet, in that case I'd apologize for my verbosity.

Mm.
