It's been almost 10 years?

[minuit]

Not long ago I heard a song on the radio that I always had playing in the background in my "get home, immediately try to get a spot on Discovery 24/7" days. That made me really think about what this community meant to me all those years ago. It seems like it was a whole lifetime ago, but in the scheme of things it wasn't THAT long ago I guess. I tracked down a copy of FL and flew around for a bit. It seems to work just fine on my PC, which kinda surprised me. Say what you will about the graphics, but it's just like I remember it. Playing a game for a few hours a day every day for a couple of years will do that to you, I guess.

Turns out I still remember my forum credentials. Guess I wasn't very good at the whole "don't reuse passwords" thing back then. Looking back through the old posts from the 4.85 days felt just like walking through a house I grew up in. With all of the crazy things going on in the world these days, it's nice to look back on the way things were.

So, what's Disco like these days? I was around pretty much every day for most of 2010 and part of 2011. I left for good just before 4.86 came out if memory serves. Are any of the 4.85-era =LSF=, IAB), or Connecticut pew-pew people still around?

What's the best way to get back into Discovery for an old vet? There's no way I could be as devoted to this community as I was, but I think I could make a little time for this game again.
