So, just curious. I know I see most of you guys on Trillian/Facebook/etc, so you're still alive. Where do you guys wander the nets now? As an escape from Finals, 4chan's /vp/ is practically my new home and I'm even hosting the /tr/ocketry server on PO. I've also been playing maplestory AGAIN So how about you guys?

As you've seen the other day, Eco, I also lurk /vp/ (Blame Zigzagoon) and occasionally join on PO servers when I have nothing better to do/wish my mons were EV trained back then.
Also, I've been hanging out with the Halolz Community Regulars on Skype, and when inspiration strikes, I do my best attempt at Not Trying to Suck.
Finally, life's been busy with Mechatronics Projects... I now officially love Lathes.

It's like the end of documentaries on tv shows and bands where after it's disbanded, they show where everyone is now.
Currently, I mainly hang out on the Smackjeeves forum and talk shop about comics and stuff. I don't sprite much anymore, and I'm trying to get into drawn comics. I'm either there or Facebook.

I'm currently an internet vagabond.

I'm going to put this here in the hope you guys will read it.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened. Aside from a very dedicated few, things just... never restarted to the point they were supposed to. I kept meaning to buy Photoshop, get this place cleaned up and professional, see if I couldn't badger Dreadknux into finally running that piece about us on TSS back when we restarted. But just blaming a lack of initiative and submissions would be... stupid.
So I guess I should tell you what's happened to me. First of all, I have a girlfriend, so that's good. Secondly, my work situation has been... complicated. But more importantly, something else happened.
I never told any of you this, but for the entire time this site has had any serious attention, my mother had a lengthy battle with cancer. A couple of months ago she finally lost that battle.
It has taken me a couple of months to adjust, but I've slowly been getting back to being online. I started playing KoL again, for example, and took up Minecraft too. Football season has started, which has helped. I've even checked my dA account a few times, but never commented. I've been playing on the Xbox again, and my DSi (I've since traded up to a 3DS - Ghost Recon SW is really quite good. Maybe I should put up a review of it, ha)
And yesterday I got a reminder notice about the domain renewal for this place in the mail.
So. What do I do here? I dunno. Do people really hoax any more? Can I brain word think funny things to comment on them? What sort of submissions would people actually submit to a fan Sonic site any more? Could I do something different? Should I do something different? Should I do anything? Should I renew the domain hire, and if so, what will I put on it?
It's something to think about.
At any rate, I wanted to at least talk to some of you guys again. So if no-one replies to this, I might post it at some of those links above (as a dA message, say).

I'M READING IT.
No problem.
Yes procrastination is a wonderful thing.
Yes sexy time is a wonderful thing.
No family loss is not a wonderful thing!!!! BLARGH. I've never really experienced the loss of a family member so I can't say I know how you feel. But I am sorry.
Yes the internet is a wonderful thing.
Yes a bill is a wonderful thing.
Get rid of the Sonic tag. Just yeah. Fwoosh. Out the window. Video Games Vegemite is alliteration-tastic.
Yes the above is a wonderful thing.
Hello.

I stretch my arm from the UK to you, to pat you on the back. I'm glad to hear that you're one the way of moving on from a tragedy, but sorry to hear what you and your family had to go through. My condolences, Matt.
As for what you may do with this website, what are you still into that you think can be driven into a large community base like SV once was?

Wow, that's rough Matt. Can't really blame you for not updating. As for what to do with the site, I don't really know. I'd preferably like it to stay a Sonic site, but I can't think of any niche we can fit that hasn't been filled by more well established sites. But I'll support most anything if it means bringing the site to its former glory.
EDIT: I got it! Six words: "My Little DUGONG: Vegemite is Magic"
