So happy to see this forum is still here!

It's been a shockingly long time since I've posted here... I used to post as redsea in the old forums, but I wandered off around the same time Neocolours switched locations. Real life got a little crazy, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and all that. I'm not sure if I'll be back for good, but I did want to post to say how happy it made me that so many of you are still here and still awesome. This place has good vibes, and its definitely because of the quality of this community.
My use of the neopets website has waned considerably since customization was implemented. There are a lot of cool aspects to dressing your neopet, but the site also lost a lot as well. Personally, what bothers me the most is how the bipedal pets were re-posed to have that goofy grasping left hand. I didn't get rid of any of my favorite pets, but if they had a "revert" option I'd use it in a heartbeat. And ruining all the cool old Faerie, Darigan and Maraquan art? But I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, I know... everyone here appreciated the awesomeness of the old designs years before the term "UC" started being bandied about like a trophy on neoboards. Well, these days I play Neopets very minimally- the lab ray, a few games.
Just recently I had finally removed down some "Neocolours pet chain" links from one of my side accounts, because the chain as it once existed is horribly fragmented. But that made me wonder how things were going here- I certainly, at one point, considered many people on this forum friends. Pretty soon I was browsing the forum, getting nostalgic, and once I realized how many familiar names there still were I had to post and say hi!
I'll probably continue to lurk for the time being, so you guys might see me around. If anyone remembers me and wants to catch up further I'd like that. My main account on neopets is still ixaicplaysrugby.
