I tried to get in contact with Rand back in 2008 when I was thinking of going to Belgium but I couldn't get through to him, not on his phone or by email. I do miss that crazy bastard.

Things like Facebook have made it slightly easier to keep in contact with some people from those days, sadly things like Facebook have pretty much destroyed a lot of forums because of how convenient and centralised they are. Kind of pisses me off a bit.
Facebook is probably one of the worst things to happen to the internet, yes. (Kind of want to do a poll for "most evil tech company" with the options being Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Google, but at this point FB would probably win pretty easily.)

[EDIT: Still browsing old threads. I'd completely forgotten how many ridiculous drama-sagas we've had -- everything had sort of merged into one Grey-related fiasco in my mind. And JESUS was I flaky. Half my posts were like, "HAY GUYS I'M GOING TO JAPAN OH NO WAIT BUT I'M LEAVING THE FORUM FOREVER UNTIL NEXT MONTH, OH AND I'M TOTALLY GAY NOW, LOLZ NOT REALLY P.S. I'M CHANGING MY NAME TO ZARATHUSTRA" etc. etc.]
