Do you ever search old posts and see how different things used to be
and miss it?

Do you?

1. No because things were just different, not necessarily better.
And looking back I don't really care for the person I was back then. I'd much rather have the here and now. Sure there were many different personalities here back then, but there are now too, maybe not always as out there as some have been.

2. Well, we can't go back into time anyway
So it doesn't do any good to dwell on it. Thanks for replying, btw.

6. Never.
That has never even crossed my mind as something to do. Not in 8+ years. :shrug:

Maybe because DU is a place I go... not a place in which I live? No idea.

9. I've thought about what you said
You are right, to an extent. I have "lived" here in many ways.

It was my mistake. I know that.

16. In a way
GD now moves much too quick for me..

So...

I spend my time on page 20 of GD. If I see something that I feel deserves another look, I kick it to the front page..

18. I like to look at some of the archived way old stuff
