Hey everyone. I used to be a poster who went by greenglowbo8745 on Dashing and some affiliated forums (i.e. Rare-Extreme, Nintendo Addict) back in 2010-11. I got addicted to forum posting, and being new to the internet discussions in general, I made hundreds upon hundreds of posts that are now unbearably cringeworthy to think back upon (I even violated the unspoken rule of "don't invite your sibling to a forum you also use"). Eventually, I got busy with one thing or another, and slowly became less active. Being busy, combined with a growing embarrassment for what I had posted on the site, ultimately caused me to ultimately leave Dashing as well as the majority of forums that I was a member of.
I moved on to other things, and Dashing barely preoccupied my thoughts for the next four or so years. So, I dunno why but I just kind of started to feel a weird sense of nostalgia (for the people I interacted with on the site and what they had to say, not my embarrassing posts), leading me to check up on the site.
So I guess fanta/queenie closed the site, and this is its successor (closing the site I can totally understand, being the administrator of something really feels like carrying a heavy load on your back, especially after a long period of time)? Regardless of whatever happened or who's still around, I just wanted to drop by and give a hello to all of you on the forum, whether I remember you or not (all of you seem like a pretty nice bunch). I can stick around (or not) if you guys want me to, as it's not like I've actually gotten a life in the past few years.Â
And I apologize to anyone if they were there for my shitposts and actually remember them. I have a feeling that they were actually as awful as I recall them being.
