Yo, what's up?

[ManaMan 2.0]

What's changed? Surprised to still see a lot of the same people--Mental, Zeus, Eric, Lox, Seeker.

I couldn't use my old ManaMan account--couldn't remember my password and the e-mail function didn't work (probably because I had some Hotmail account at the time).

Now I'm 2.0, baby.

Shit, wow.

[Eric]

A ghost!

[Julius Seeker]

Well, I am getting married, Sine had a kid, Zeus turned 50, Eric helped raise the teenage pregnancy rate across the G8 nations by 0.6% last quarter, Lox still won't tell us where he has Crono and Ishamael, and Mental murdered G-man and got away with it.

Same level of shit, different stories. Things are fairly similar around here.

Welcome back dude.

Cheers,

[M'k'n'zy]

I'm still here too, dont forget me!

Good to see ya again!

[Mental]

HA! Good to see you again! I think I prayed for you to come back here one day, you may be the only person in Shrine history to ever laugh visibly at one of my jokes here.

How you been, man? Do you bring Mana for us all?

I dispute this account, as I was nowhere near this place at the time that you all drove him far from these boards talking about politics.

Look to thine own hand for the bloody fingers, o Legend of the Seeker. The sin be not mine.

[Mental]

I sign off on everything else though.

[Lox]

Wow! Welcome back! Things are way different, but they're still very much the same.

A bunch of the guys (and girl) have kids. I am married and trying to have a kid. haha We're all growing up...or something.

[Mental]

We're all growing up...or something.

You sure?

[Flip]

I got unmarried.

[Mental]

Flip:

[Flip]

Flip:

Ha, thanks. Its not big deal and was like 3-4 years ago at this point. For the better for everyone involved and i'm happier now in life than ever.

[Mental]

Let me take this opportunity to apologize to you for what I said around that period, again, if I haven't already.

[ManaMan]

Sine: congrats on the kiddo. Also, thanks for restoring access to my old account.

Zeus: you continue to age gracefully I'm sure.

Eric: (about the teen pregnancy thing) I'm, er, not quite sure what to say... good to see you!

Mental: good to see you so active on the boards again. I'm glad to have answered your prayers.

Lox: congrats on the marriage.

Flip: sorry to hear or congrats (depending on the situation).

Seek: still a Nintendo-loving Canuck? good!

As for myself, a lot has gone on. I've had two kids and have progressed in my career (most likely because I stopped reading TOWS at work). Our first child sadly only lived a few months after his birth because of complications from said birth. It was a tough time for everyone... We just recently had a baby girl who is now 8 months old.

It's good to be back.

You forgot me! I said hello! Of course I didnt say much else, like the fact that I also got married, but as a fellow St. Louisan I expected better!

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your first child 8^( And I also offer my congratulations on your 2nd, I hope she is very healthy ^_^

[ManaMan]

Dude, M'k'n'z'y, I didn't really forget you. I started typing this a while ago and you were tops on my list--seriously--but as a St. Louisan, I stopped, went and drank some Schlafly's beer, ate some toasted ravioli, came back and completely lost my original post. I started over, but mistakenly left you out.

I suck.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your first child 8^( And I also offer my congratulations on your 2nd, I hope she is very healthy ^_^

Anyway, yeah, my daughter is doing great and is very healthy.

You still on the south side?

Actually when I got married I moved out to Warrenton, about an hour out of the city proper. Still am in town a lot, we really need to meet up and do lunch on one of my days off. Shoot me a private message and I will get you my cell number.

I am very glad to hear your daughter is healthy and doing well ^_^ My sister just gave me a nephew/godson, but no children for us just yet.

[Zeus]

Mana, sorry to hear about your kid. My twins (one boy, one girl) just turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't possibly imagine what that would be like.

And welcome back

[Eric]

Sine: congrats on the kiddo. Also, thanks for restoring access to my old account.

Omg he was kidding, they're all just upset because I'm part of the "Get every 16 year old girl a pole in their room" movement!

[RentCavalier]

I'm here too!

I wrote news stories!

[Mental]

HA! Good to see you again! I think I prayed for you to come back here one day, you may be the only person in Shrine history to ever laugh visibly at one of my jokes here.

OMG, I totally forgot Eric admitted to laughing at one of my jokes just a week or so ago...this is the origin of the Eric teen pregnancy rumors, Mana:

http://tows.cc/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14627

And I'm sorry to hear about your child. My friend's wife had a miscarriage recently...even that tore them up. It's not an easy thing. You have my compassion and condolences.

[Imakeholesinu]

Wonder who else will pop out of the wood work.

This is Barret btw.

[Tessian]

One big ol' happy reunion-- nice to see you back Manaman.

[Blotus]

HEY DOG. Welcome back. Whatchoo playin?

[Zeus]

HEY DOG. Welcome back. Whatchoo playin?

Yeah, put your gamertag info in the sticky in Gamethought so we can all kick some zombie butt together :-)

[Anarky]

I forgot to tell you guys, Ganath got married recently... not that he's been here in years, but figured I'd let you know.

[Zeus]

Give him my well wishes and tell him to stop lurking and post, dammit :-)

[Chris]

Shit. MANA!

I'm of the days of yore as well. I just stopped going by Derithian as I'm more awesome than I was and make comics for a very excrutiatingly poor living.

Good to see you again. Hope you stick around unlike some of the other oldies that pop in then vanish again.

[ManaMan]

Wow, great to hear from every one... Tessian, Derithian, Anarky, Barret...

RentCavalier and Blotus? What were your old names?

G-Man Joe and Chrono gone? Kupek?

What other drama shit storms did I miss (or is this place just not that exciting anymore)?

I assume the 2008 election was interesting.

[M'k'n'zy]

G-man Joe and Chrono are gone, Kupek is kinda off and on.

Rent is newer but Blotus just shortened his name from Black Lotus. If I'm not mistaken, that's always been his name.

G-Man left after a political spat a few years back and came back a little while ago but left again without saying anything. Chrono came back for a bit too but also disappeared with no trace, same with EsquE. Kup is an admin here and he's around regularly but doesn't get into too many posts or arguments. Man had a PhD and MMA training to concentrate on.

Heya Oracle. Good to see you again.
