Perfect Isolation 2.0beta

You know, this ain't so bad!  There's lots of elbow room around here!  I can stretch my legs, and I don't have to worry about anyone coughing on me!  Man, this old board is quite the getaway from all the trials and tribulations of modern day communication.

I'm going to invite my Dad to join for sure.

- dust

alright, i discorded off the link. wee you there

So, followup already

Discord idea was a smash hit.  Like, I posted there right after I posted here and there are already like 8 yays on the poll with no nays or questions.

https://discord.gg/bdgNza7 should get you there, shoot me a pm either here, on fb, or discord (twily#6763) if that link ever comes up dead and I'll get you the new one.  It's real bare bones right now, but as we move in, that'll change

JESUS CHRIST IT ONLY TOOK ME 40 ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY LOG IN.

Anyway, my lack of technical proficiency aside for the moment, a) HOLY SHIT SOULESS! and b) DISCORD?!  THAT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT!  idk if everyone else would be into it, but it'd be something that isn't facebook that I'm pretty good about checking.

We're still us, though we're vastly reduced in number.  By being on FB, we've automatically lost Chim and r00, and turtle, either of her own volition or out of respect for r00's privacy (r00 and turtle WERE a thing pre-exodus, right?  it's been so long I'm wondering if I even remember right anymore).  We'd gathered a fair number, though participation has dwindled over time as people have jumped ship or just drifted away from using fb.  As far as I know, the following are still at least somewhat active in the group:

Freak/Aaron
Andrea
Anya
drone
Naylzie/Nayl_Girl (obvs, dat me, but I'm going off the RL name to handle file we made)
Goose
sk8r/sk8r4nin
Xero
halo_nineteen
Dee
TheAncientEnemy
Morbyd left fb, I think
MadTeletubbie - very occasionally, but I think I've seen him in the last year or so
Mer
Goldie/Goldielocks
4wounds2salvation/RENfIELD/adsf
doomsayer
Kristin
Libertine
Caitie
Mars
Rokken like Dokken - also occasionally
i_am
Stariki
Nadia
sometimes Threat
Luna
TPD got banned =(
Boofu
Usman
boom

I'll kick out the discord idea and see if it gets any bites, but failing that, find me or Goose on facebook (Kat Kuch or Brent Towsley) and we'll get you sorted.  (Side note: my last name change was legal and connected to my marriage, but the first name is just for Facebook to keep my personal life separated from work by making it harder to find me and giving me plausible deniability if someone thinks they've found me.  Still answer to Ashley much faster than Kat.)

it's around... i'm just off facebook

I need to remember to come back here more often than every other year. Is this all that is left of the old PI or did it migrate to a discord server or something? I saw someone, I think Nayl, talking about a facebook group at some point. is that active and worth it for old bastards or has it become kid recommended and adult approved?

i feel that vibes all around. i may rejoin the fold again sometime after i sort out a few things

My life is a non-stop state of trying to put other people back together and failing miserably.

trying is key. keep on trying. we're rooting for you all

Sorry you've been having a rough time Teeps.  At least you're at a point where you can start to put it back together.

My life is a non-stop state of trying to put other people back together and failing miserably.

Woof.  I hope piecing it back together goes smoothly.  Depending on the crap, that can take a while.  Good luck.

Honestly, the whole reason I'm still on fb is the people.  It's objectively terrible in a lot of ways, but it's where fucking everyone is, so if I go, I lose contact with a shitload of people, and outside discord and occasionally here, fb IS the majority of my non-work human interaction.

I often wonder after you as well, no idea what you're getting notified about though; my life continues to be as uninteresting as ever.  I'm still working from home, but the work I'm doing is going pretty well.  Father-in-law's narration has gotten better and we've reached a point where we commiserate about the bad books after I once awkwardly blurted out how much I had come to hate the series.  Kinda my MO for problem-solving.  Just throw it out there and back-pedal or brainstorm as appropriate  Husband has a well-paying if demanding job, but he enjoys it more than retail hell and it means I'm no longer the primary breadwinner as a freelancer, which is a HUGE relief.

I mean, that's about it.  Adventures and vacations are expensive, so we stay in and play videogames.
