yes! I remember many of these people, wow.

I'm new here, so I don't know anyone yet, However, over the years I been a member of various forums including one gaming forum where when people stopped posting it made me really sad! At times I spent so much time on those forums that these people became my online family. So I know what you mean, even though some of us have never met and will probably never meet in person, it can be sad when we stop hearing from someone.
