Great, then I'm certified old. I forgot that your account was just a few months older than mine! That's cool. Yes, nostalgia sometimes hits like a ton of LEGO bricks, doesn't it (pun intended)? Fortunately, we are given these memories to make us smile, but not to dwell on for too long. Did you know that the boards were going out before they did? I knew it the day after they announced it, but I don't think I returned to wish them farewell. I probably should have. It was so different, though, then, it seemed. I am not active on LEGO.com anymore... I saw they changed it recently, yeah? Are you on there? I do have the LEGO Life app.
I'm not sure if you still hold your account, but I sent you a message (I don't know if it's name-droppable on here, sorry, but you probably know where I'm referencing).
Nostalgia hits me hard too, Peat-a-peat. There is a word that hits me harder though, Hiraeth, which means "a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, or for a home which may have never been". Truly a place that one cannot return too. It was a major part of my childhood and it all changed so quickly. Still, the past does not exist to dwell in, only the present is available for that. I haven't logged into my LEGO.com account since the LEGO.com Message Boards were deleted.
I am not active anywhere on the whole wide internet but here. Any previous accounts anywhere are deceased. Funny how I've washed-up on this little corner of the internet, but here I am all the same.
I had never heard of that word before. Thank you for educating me. Yes, I concur! The present is certainly a good time to be thankful for the past, though. Oof, I try to avoid that place. It's a bit scary to navigate.
Well, I'm very glad you're here. It's good to see you.
All of you whippersnappers talking about the LMB's. I am from a time when the ranks were different! There were sherrifs, and legends, and journeyman ranks. Those were the original Lego message boards. Oh those were the days when Skullduggery and diglett were rising stars, and...and...
Hey y’all. How’ve you all been? I’m done with my first two terms of college!
Hey, Daler! Going well, going well. Congrats on finishing your first two terms! How was it? Highs and lows? I just finished my first and will head back for the second in a couple of weeks. Not looking forward to it; much enjoying the break and spending time with family.
Attention all oldies! BusyCityGirl would like me to cordially invite all of y'all to attend our annual reunion at the Wikia. It'll be on January 5th, the day the Message Boards were announced to close. We had a LOT of users come in that day last year, so we're making it a thing again. Come and go as you please during any part of the day or around that day. Hope to see y'all there! I'll bring the cake. [v:0]

Hey Peat-a-peat! Congrats on finishing your fist semester of college as well!
Highs:
I’ve made some friends
I’ve done well in my classes
I’ve written tons of messages in Matoran around campus.
Lows:
Group projects are tough. I wrote 23 pages of a 24 page group report. :/
Some of the professors post homework at 9 p.m.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your break. Mine lasts one more week. FRC kickoff is next weekend, so my last few days of break will be pretty hectic.
