Old Memories, kept calling this old Drappa back

[Fiory]

For any who don't know me, I'm Fiory. I've been with TS since it first started, with the very first site before this one, oh way back in 04-05 I think. Then that site went down and this one came up. I used to be the Drappa of List, after the previous List Alphas. I handed it down to Sudak and Gryffin, but kept playing as my son Orion for a time. Then life happened, work became more important,and my posts became more and more staggered until finally I had lost the site for what I thought was for good.

Tonight, or this morning I guess since it's close to 3 am now...I found a bunch of old pictures I drew documenting my character Fiory's life here on TS. When she saved Bila from drowning and earned a sister. When she met Bristol and fell in love alongside Tsuki and Bila. When she became the second in command of List to her sister,and had her first and only litter of pups after Bristol passed on. How she became the leader of List after Bila's unfortunate death; how a great hunt nearly turned deadly down a rock faced cliffside. Her daughters and son mysteriously vanished, and Orion returned on the night Fiory's life was ended, after years of rping her here.

All the great memories of before just flooded back, the good and the bad times of playful pups and fights with the Balkar, List's closes allies at the time. I couldn't help but try and look up this old site and see if it still ran. To my surprise, there are still recent posts (I see my last post as Orion in List is the most recent still, from 2010...) some from just a few days ago. After giving it some thought, and smiling warmly at those old sketches I drew...I can't help but come back to this place. And I have decided...

Fiory will be Reborn and start Anew. Her old life is passed, and she'll begin a new one. Hopefully we can get some more activity, and more great sessions that create memories like before. I look forward to meeting all the old and the new faces here on TS again.

Of course....I can only come back if there are others who still visit this long forgotten place....

[Linnaea]

I'm not sure people are willing and we don't really have a staff to do anything. There's always the option of the few of us that still stop by just hopping ship and making a new site, but that almost seems to me like it would be cheating all these wonderful memories made here. Not that new memories couldn't be made... but I don't know, if others were willing, I'd be willing. I can still make a wicked skin - and now I'm a lot better than I used to be at this whole coding thing.

[Fiory]

Linnea! Hi! I most certainly would be willing to give you the reigns....if of course...I had that kind of administrative power....I only have a small amount as it stands when it comes to Admins.....I can do a few things, but not much. I would be certainly willing to revive this place as it was my home for so long and I sincerely wish I hadn't neglected it as I had. I almost feel it was partially my fault that the site fell so far...my activity in List dropped and I just couldn't keep getting on, and then the rest of the site seemed to follow suit around the same time......*sigh*

[Linnaea]

Well no, I meant make a new site, like a whole new board. If I still had my old BT account I would be able to help with small staff things. But alas, those days of being Deor Drappa are far behind me. Such wonderful good times we all had though. *sigh* Ah, nostalgia hits so very hard around this place. It was a little bit of everyone that let this place go, the admins for vanishing, the alphas for vanishing, the rest of us for vanishing... we're all honestly to blame haha... ah, but at least some of us are still checking in and keeping the spirit alive?

[Fiory]

I suppose....I wouldn't mind a new board to be honest either...I'm just not too good at layouts and such....I miss being here,and I wish we could make memories here again...but there's nearly no chance of that happening ever....

[Linnaea]

Layouts I can do easy, there's actually a lot of really neat things you can do with proboards these days, and version 5 is coming out soon. Remember when version 4.5 was coming out and everyone was freaking about it? haha oh gosh, of course that's still true, everyone in the proboards community is still freaking out about the changes. Some people have embraced them though. If you're down for a revival I can totally help out though, I know my way around admining quite well these days (haven't done a wolf site since here, but I figure I could get back in the swing of things). I can send ya my contact info and stuff. :>

[Fiory]

I'm so into that ^.^ I've dabbled into administrative duties as far as websites are concerned over the years including my own website like this one (Unfortunately, I knew enough about people and adminning, but nothing about web design, structure etc.....x.x' so the site kinda died cause of that.....buuuuuut). I'd have no problem providing administrative help with a revival site, if you provide the layout and design aspect that I seriously lack. ^.^

[Linnaea]

Alrighty then! I have sent you a PM with my most current contact information.

[Ayame]

FIory! Hugs! So good to see you. Sudak and I have been checking back every once in a blue moon and so excited to see this thread. I was just saying yesterday how much I missed TS and RPing. I hope that we can get things going again. If you need any help let me know. I know Sudak has some admin power and he is a web developer and may be able to help if you need any help with code. Good to see you as well Linnaea ^^ Same goes for you, if you need anything let us know

[Ayame]

Well done Linnaea!!!! Looks great. Getting ready to make an account and see if I can dust the spider webs out of my brain and RP again. Very exciting ^^

I do keep popping back up on here XD Though regretfully i only ended up making banners for the time i was on here and suddenly this place was dead T__T If anybody wants help with graphics and/or coding with a new site i'd love to help XD

[Bryrpaw]

I'm fully aware that no-one is still on here. It's a crying shame, honestly. This website got me through the worst years of my life- abusive family members were replaced by wonderful people roleplaying loving parents, friends online being closer then friends in life. I wish it could be a thing reborn- a world that we could scrape back from the dead, but I think, despite my wishes, that this place's time is past.

It was a wonderful time for me. On whim today, I looked it up- looked, painfully, through my posts as a sixteen year old young man who was terrified of everything.

I miss this place. I miss it more and more everyday- more then I did the few times I couldn't post back in 04-08.
It was a beautiful place- a beautiful part of my life- and I'm so, so grateful to have had it in my life. Draeg, Phantom, Huts, Nocturnia. You guys. I miss you all. Thank you for making a time in my life that was miserable wonderful.

Thank you all, so very much, my dear friends.

Dude! I've finally found a way to get back on this site without hacking my computer, turns out all I needed to do was switch to Chrome (Internet Explorer doesn't want to cooperate apparently)

Who all is still here?

[Silve]

I saw this post almost right after you made it, Fiory, and I had a fangirl moment. It took me this long to get back on because I had forgotten my password and am no longer at my old email address! I whole-heartedly support getting TS back on its feet. Every time I checked back with no posts my heart ached a little more, and I know Silve wants another chance! I completely lend my support in the way of coding and such, I had my own proboards sites and have a degree in web design. Let me know. I shall check back DAILY!
