Shame, I liked it, as a place. I never really went there—it was at the tail end of my first era of forum obsession—but the fact you actually bought the domain name was good shit.
Oh thank you, that's kind. It helped me getting started with web development, and was just a really convenient excuse to tinker with stuff I was interested in. It had it's good times, but it got pretty toxic in the end, and I mean we didn't use the forum at all anymore, cause I had installed a pretty cool chat plugin, not sure you were around for that.

Damn, Bardock, how goes it, anyway? I heard you met Tom, what was that like?
Oh Tom's amazing. We met him multiple times now, in London and most recently he visited us for an extended weekend. We had a lot of fun, I hope we can visit him in London again soon.
How are you? I heard you started Uni?

Yeah he's a cool dude, in't he? Not my best friend for nothing. If you're through again some time you should give me a shout or get Tom to, I'd head back down to the motherland for a few days. Or not, you know, your call.
But yeah I just started uni, perhaps a few years late but I'm not fussed by that. Just glad to be here. I heard they got rid of tuition fees recently in Germany, is that right?

Yeah I remember the chat thing, think I used it for a while too, but I dunno. I haven't been about for ages. No idea why I'm here, actually, not that it's a bad thing. I guess I kinda forgot that there was a bunch of people I knew still around, and that maybe I should hunt some of them down.Yeah he's a cool dude, in't he? Not my best friend for nothing.

Yeah, I speak to a lot of people from here through Skype and Facebook now, I mean I'm still around, but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.
That would be awesome. We should definitely do that if you can come. We'll probably go next year (maybe a slight chance of this year, but, you know, money)
I read that, too, I don't really follow news closely. But we already had very negligible tuition fees. Definitely a good step though. Britain seems to prefer to go in the other direction.

lol, so true, man I hate my old posts.

I'm sure Tom'll give me a message if so, I totally get what you mean about money though, I've been meaning to go to America for years but just can't afford it in the slightest. But yeah, tuition here isn't so bad, barely any of it actually gets paid back overall, and even if you get a good job out of it you barely back anything a month, so it's still worth it. I'd rather than than being stuck doing nothing for the rest of my life.
