It's not like that. This place and the people here will always be special to me. It's just that so much has changed and happened over the past couple years in college. I've been extremely busy for one thing, so mostly just don't have a lot of time. Different things have been taking my attention, my priorities have changed in a lot of ways, things have happened has altered how I feel about certain things. Some things that I used to feel endlessly passionate about are now just numb... But there has been positive developments as well! I can't detail exactly why I have mixed feelings, but it's a mixture of all that and more.
Yeah I absolutely feel that, college and work have been my focus, which isn't a bad thing. Yeah I know what you mean. No I totally get you. I feel like the older you get, the more realize (at least for me) that life is less about yourself and more about serving others and ultimately God. But yeah, times have changed, haven't they? I was looking back at some of my old posts and thinking like "what the heck I was so strange." hahah But yeah we live and we learn!

Exactly! Yes to all of that. What kind of stuff at college and work have you been up to?

Well college is just boring stuff, but work has been really fun. I got promoted recently which I'm excited about, and I love my job so it's really cool. My fellow employees are awesome so that's nice.

Boring stuff? You mean you don't have any thrilling assignments? That's cool, what makes work fun for you?

Welcome! We'd be glad to have you here! A good place to start connecting with people is Finding Friendships!
You guys may not remember me, I was not actually a member of the original Message Boards, but I was an active member on the Lego Galleries, and as such I probably know a lot of you from there! My original account (that is now deleted) was Zai_X. My Current account on Lego Ideas is TheStarshipGarage, and my account on Lego Life is GenuineTire037.
I was actually one of the last users to be promoted to Nerd Rank as apart of the NERDIS by MasterOshawott. (I was The Pretzel Nerd). If I remember correctly she made made me a nerd because I made a post displaying interest in the Nerd Refrigerator.
After the original galleries were deleted in December 2017, and the rest of the galleries on Lego.Com were completely shut down in September 2018 (I believe they were actually read-only until about December of 2018 if I remember right?) I moved onto the Lego Life app, where I am still active today. Lego Life has changed a lot since it replaced the Message Boards in 2017. And I am one of the very few remaining active Lego Life Users who was a member of the Galleries, because of that I set out to preserve what little of the galleries I could find. I happened to stumble upon the Lego Message Boards Wiki and began reading up on it, and I found a link to here.
I'm not sure if this place is still active. It seems it's been months since any new posts have been made, but I'd like to see if any of my old friends are still here. Also, before the Galleries shut down, I heard rumblings of them being carried on as the Lego Gallery Eternals, was that ever made? and if so, is it still up?
A very nostalgic Zai_X signing off. (P.S. I decided to attach a picture of one of my personal favorite lego MOCs for your viewing pleasure, enjoy!)

Hey Zai_X! I'm not sure I remember you (though your username does seem a little familiar), I was only on the galleries for a very short period of time compared to my time on the Message Boards, but I did do a LEGO comic strip there for a while!
Glad to have you over here! How's LEGO Life? Is there any sort of chat feature now?

That is a very nice MOC!
I remember your comics very well! I actually archived one on lego life! (before they wiped all gallery posts due to an update) your comics used to be a big inspiration for my own comics that a brought over to Lego Life. Lego Life is a very different app from how it was in 2017. I'm regarded as one of the "oldies". I have a tight circle of good friends on there. I've even convinced one of my friends to join here. Though she says she needs to figure out what her username is gonna be Lego life actually does have a chat feature now! you can now comment ACTUAL WORDS on posts! Before then we made use of posts made officially by lego. These were usually some sort of building contest, then we would claim them and make chatrooms. We still make use of these Chatrooms for more centralized communication (my chat, for instance, is one of the oldest that is still active, and has almost 30k comments!) But chatting has branched out due to the comment feature. And the community there is great for the most part. Oh yeah, and you can also change your username if you have a lego ideas account.
Oh, there I go yapping again I better stop before I recite all 14 parts of AmbassadorMaskedZane's "The History Of Lego Life"
Hello; I’m Lava! I’m a friend of Zai’s from Lego Life, where I’m HonorableMaskedLava. I joined LL in January 2019, but I never had the chance to be part of the Message Boards or Galleries, sadly. When Zai mentioned finding this place, I decided to check it out too, so here I am!
A little bit about myself: ~ INFP-T ~ I like building creature MOCs, writing stories, drawing, and roleplaying ~ My favorite movies/books/shows are HTTYD, The Wingfeather Saga, Ninjago, Avengers, and Star Wars ~ I’m a huge dragon enthusiast ~ Fantasy and sci-fi are the best

That's cool, that's probably why you seemed familiar, I think I do remember you doing comics! I miss reading everybody's comics.
I'm glad to hear they've got a CONmunity now! I downloaded it to take a quick look after I saw you talking about it, but I couldn't figure out how to change my username, got frustrated, and hopped back off. Guess I didn't dig far enough. I saw some users were using words in comments, but I couldn't get mine to, so that also frustrated me.
Oh please, I don't mind the yapping, you're getting me caught up on my LEGO Life lore!
