Some words for you guys out there.

Well, yeah, as you can see, it's been a while. I don't know how many months that have gone by since my last visit, but one thing is for sure: It's been a long time. Very long. Well, now that I'm back, or at least for today, I'd like to share some words with the veterans of EF that know me, or at least, knew me.

I got referred to this wonderful site by Lancet Jades years ago and was by Gamewinners and Evermore frequently. I'm not gonna deny that it was fun during the time I was here. Then I just left. Life took over me. But that's not the point of this thread. I think I spent like... what... two years here? More? Less? During that time, I more or less built an identity of me that you guys saw. But that was a lie. A goddamn lie.

The biggest lie was that I made you believe that I was 18 back then when I first joined (some people even began to become suspicious of me, heh). Well, I wasn't. I was maybe like 14? 15? My has time passed. So I felt very guilty when I got promoted to a moderator. Thinking over it, I was very immature at some points. Apart from lying about my age, I also lied about things I even didn't know about, such as my opinion on a game that I even hadn't played.

But don't get me wrong; it was not all a big, fat lie. Some moments were true to me. It was very fun posting around here, discussin' stuff with you people or just to fool around (Spammyland, anyone?) with the cool people of EF. Perhaps it was not real life that drove me out of this place. Perhaps it was the lie just growing and growing to a point that I just couldn't take it anymore and my mind unknowningly just shut itself out of Evermore. I even went as far as blocking people related to EF on my MSN-contact list. Now it's time to unblock them, I guess, assuming they would want to talk to me anymore.

I'd like to also add that Evermore shaped a part of my personality, for the better, of course. I've grown a lot mentally for the past year, and now I'm 18, I lie a lot less. Because I realized that a few years ago that that's just not good. To sum my life for now, it's going well right now.

I know there's a lot of stuff I want to tell you guys, but I just can't manage to bring them up for some reason. Maybe I need to pour it out bit by bit. But if there's something you're wondering about, you can just ask. And I will perfectly understand if you're pissed/disappointed/sick by what I'm saying right now. But I had to let it out. All these years my heart had been holding back until I remembered Evermore again today.

Thank you for listening in. It's a huge relief that I got this off of my heart.

And my real name is Long.

Actually I was wondering what ever happened to you on MSN. Since last t ime i saw you on was like...when I was on a PC at college campus. But personally, I never thought about your age to be honest gravity. >_> Then again I was a lil immature a year or two back myself. But whatever. I thought that you just had other things to do when you left. It really...has only been since about LATE...2007 IIRC when you last came to EF. Not that big a time since you last visited. And I never thought of you being a bad guy either for being a little silly or a bit immature. Just made me think you're more like cawky. Who we all still miss regadless as well. I thought you were a pretty damn decent guy when you were around. You were a bit silly when spam threads were open or some other ones.

But as for age. I really don't see the problem, Gravity. Besides lying =P Just be open and don't worry really. If you ended up being demodded because of your age you still coulda stayed at EF regardless. The forum is a good place with good people, usually.

Either way I hope you can come back one day again if you're ever up to visiting EF now and then when you get the time.

[Bloozilla]

It's ok Gravity, you were at least of age to visit the forums. I'm not pissed at all that you lied, but I guess there's also the fact that I wasn't very active when you were.

When you get the time, you should visit us more often. :D

[Pinkie Pie]

I honestly don't think you're going to find too many people here that are going to be upset with you at all over this, Grav.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the lying thing wasn't cool or anything, but I think most people here who know you care more about who you are and how we came to know you rather than the number in the "age" section of your profile.

All of the older members have grown up at least a bit since the site started, and I think we've all matured a bit since then.

You're an awesome person, and I really hope that this isn't an influence over whether or not you stick around. :)

[Rainbow Dash]

That's alright, I lie about my gender all the time.

But seriously, what Tessa said, I mean the way I was back then was just a nightmare, and I more or less did the same thing when I realized what a moron I was being, except EF was the one place that I DID keep in touch with.

[Miles]

All that just made me want to contact my old friend...Which I think I might do.

It's alright, Grav. You're still Grav to me =3 no matter how old you are.

Please stay Grav...I can't speak for everyone but this place has been quieter without you around.
So many people left and I miss most of them more than I can say.
So please...Stick around.

Or try and visit at least once in a while.

[Lancet Jades]

Well, for what it's worth, you were never that bad on EF. You might've seen yourself as too immature and such, but that isn't how we saw you.

Basically, get yo ass back here so we can have good times again!

[Laggy]

hmm, I don't think I ever really knew how old you were in the first place... not even a lied about age XD

I just go along with what people tell me though, rather or not its true doesn't matter much to me, I know half the shit I read online is a lie anyway

we did have some fun back then though ^_^

[Chicken Little]

This is the internet, we are all fibbing in a sense, and honestly how hard is it to lie about your age or what you know? Google is just a stones throw away and it's not as if a birth certificate is needed for verification. If you feel that you need to apologise for your actions then more power to you for being man enough to make that choice, and don't take this the wrong way, but ultimately who cares that you did? It's a site to have fun at irregardless of age or status.

Hell, I used to be six foot tall on some forums!

Welcome back, glad you could get it off your chest.

[Spud Webb]

The guys over on the nba.com forums think I'm Kareem Abdul-Jabar

[Altima]

Who cares about the past Grav, we only have the future to look forward to.

[jethro]

No big deal buddy, i can't even remember much regarding EF back then anyway lol

[Gravity]

Wow, people took this surprisingly well. << Good to have people like you... :3

Hmm, I'll try to hang around a bit and see if things work out first. <<

[Rainbow Dash]

So, if you do plan on sticking around, note that EF has changed a bit in that most of the activity these days is on the shoutbox $houtboxxx.

[The Deity]

Yeah, this isn't something to apologize for. You weren't breaking any laws and you were acting mature enough considering the rest of the crowd that was here at the time.

[Mina]

Welcome back.
Let the past go and have fun :]
