Where is Everyone?

Howdy everyone. I got an email that said ya'll were moving, so I thought I'd bring this cake over, ...but I don't see many people I know here. Where did everyone go? I can't go away for two years without you running everyone off? WTF?

I see Kayten, and Chead, and a few other people from the past made it here.

It looks pretty pink here.

Me? Oh. Working mostly. I would like to say that I had a drink with Carlin a few months ago, and it was a most memorable happy hour. She's even more beautiful in person for those who haven't had the pleasure yet. Thank you Carlin. It was nice to actually see you in the flesh... so to speak.

My business was literally gangbusters last year. I picked up some new clients and was involved in some really cool jobs last year (...like Victoria's Secret Holiday Show...WOW). This year, things have slowed again. I think with the cost of travel, it's having an impact on my business.

Shall we talk about the elephant in the room? No, I'm not seeing anyone, still. Maybe I'm finished with all that. I don't know. Maybe I'm too picky. Whatever it is... I don't put a lot effort into changing it. I kind of like living without all the drama for once in my life. I hear these Thanksgiving Day stories, or on-going nightmares that some of my friends are living in, and I count my lucky stars. I know 'she' could still be 'out there' somewhere, but I've not made a concerted effort to look for her. That's what your supposed to do, right?

So, I hope everyone is fine. Not sure what might be here for a guy like me, but I'll 'lurk' for a while and see what happens. Right now, I think I'll go out by the pool and see if there's anyone else I used to know from cherrybomb hanging around out there. I'll see ya's later!

Have some cake, but I want the pan back,

Tom

Though, I don't know Tom well, I am here and I've been around for about a year.

I like the new colors on here but haven't found anything interesting to post about or answer to yet. In a bit, perhaps.

I've also noticed a few minor "glitches" in these boards...
Threads with new replies in them, for instance, don't automatically pop up to the top of the list, as they did in the old site, and I don't know if it's possible to display newer replies to a thread at the top rather then scrolling down to the bottom of the thread to see it.

One definite glitch I noticed, is that threads with multiple replies move each consecutive reply one tab over to the right. when there's just a few replies to a thread, that's all well and good, but in threads with many replies, they eventually move so far to the right that they become a column of individual letters, and then even move further to the right, off the board entirely.

These are things which could be addressed to make these newer boards more user friendly, but I don't think it's why people aren't here yet. I just think people need time to figure out we've moved to a new place and find their own way over here, and it just might take a bit of time.

I've tried posting a few times already, but it always says the post is awaiting moderation, and I never see it get posted. I would guess everyone else was having the same issue, for some reason.

Tom, thank you...thank you...thank you...for saying that I was pretty *wink*. We did have a good time that night. Only the first of many I hope.

I've seen slushy and a few other old timers log in, reset their password, and check the place out. Kayten had been on the old boards a week before the soft launch. I expect to see her here....we all need our dose of kayten to take the edge off.

always a pleasure to see you on the boards. I can't believe Tom is here! I heart Tom!
