To be quite honest I was rather skeptical about this project from the moment it was first announced several weeks ago. The idea of replacing that other site and gathering together many of the lost members seemed a tad optimistic. I did however, follow along as progress updates were given. Hoping against hope that there might be some measure of success, I began to be drawn into the ever rising tide of anticipatory excitement as things moved along.
Once it was announced that the site was indeed user ready I immediately jump into the mix. Upon arrival I found a few old familiar names, some I haven't seen in some time. I must say that my heart skipped a beat upon seeing silverwhisper's name among the first few members. I had been many months since I last saw him around.
A few of the usual political suspects had already arrived as well along with one or two names I did not recognise. Within a few short hours however it seemed someone had opened the floodgates and many familiar names began to appear.
This morning as I logged in I noticed a few more unfamiliar names, but also many more familiar ones.
By mid-afternoon it felt like old home week. I simply cannot remember the last time I saw infernal, a year maybe. Polar showed up as well as Skald, my dear Icelandic friend. Destiny, twyla (now twirlie), queenie, ginger and many others I hadn't seen is a while have joined our ranks. D6fer of course had a hand in getting this thing going as I understand so I wasn't surprised to find him here.
There are of course many old friends missing, some of whom may never find us again. The thing is, I do believe that this site has already proven successful.
Thank you yakkster and friends for providing a new home for a bunch of lost and wandering souls. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I feel like I am at a great reunion even Botoni showed up tonight So did Creative I am so happy soaring. Yes, thanks to Yakkster.
