The last few days I've been reading through everything that I was involved in; shows; OOC; chat; everything that I was ever mentioned in, even after I had left. I've just finished and feel really sad, like the place had died all over again. I really am dreading the day that this place falls off the face of the internet and everything that bonds us together is gone for good.
Maybe I'm clawing at nostalgia as my wife and I are expecting our first baby in February and I think I'm going through a "last stand" sort of thing with all of my old hobbies and memories before I finally have to fully grow up.
It was a pleasure working and socializing with you all over the years.

Wow, the login still works. In fact, I'm amazed the board still works--but here we are. This place crossed my mind the past few days, and been looking up old saved promos; was really a trip down memory lane. Basically current WWE's Fiend is what triggered me thinking with the Vortex/Abel/Atrus stuff...Atrus even had essentially the same mask and that was in 2007. Then got thinking about the board and here we are.
Anyway, enough rambling, somehow it feels like 'home' on this board even though I for one definitely don't have the best history with some around here. Kind of funny the mentioning of all the crap said and the fact we were kids...we actually WERE kids. The level of promo/story/match work for essentially teenagers is kind of astounding really. Still think of AK sometimes as well, I'm not sure she was ever mean to anyone and essentially helped hold the place together for a long while.
I gotta get out of here before I get the urge to start writing...

I saw those ghostfaces, NXT. HHH will be hearing from ACW lawyers.
Yeah dude, Jade is Su Yung.

Really wish I was capable of being a reliable writer during my time with ACW. As a teen I struggled with ADD and clinical depression. The depression was the worst, it would hit me out of nowhere. I'd be writing a segment and halfway through, I'd just stop and lay in my bed for hours. Nowadays I still sometimes get ideas about wrestling whenever I watch AEW or NJPW and think to myself "That would've been great if I was still e-fedding".

I'm 29 now. It's terrifying. Big 30 next year. It's all down hill from there! XD I became a Dad last month. Crazy to think I have a daughter (No, I didn't name her Cordelia).

Frick, it's been half a decade since I last dropped in for a moment.
I've been a busy father of four, and it's crazy how much things change...and don't. My 6 year old son is a huge wrestling mark, and it's crazy how much he wants to watch wrestling of yore (i.e. Summerslam '92, Wrestlemania III, Summer of Punk) to learn about it all. Little does he know how much time I used to pour in roleplaying and writing.
I got so burnt out in the past, and I should have seen the signs approaching 2007's Omega Effect. Man, if I could have seen those signs before, I might have stayed longer.

Guess this means I should say something. I admit I hadn't thought of this place in a long, long time. Then around a month ago, I'm on my computer and the XBox app pings me and some guy named TK messaged me. Maybe you've heard of him. We shot the shit for a little bit catching up. Then this morning before I left for work, I thought about this place and decided to check up on it. I was surprised to see a little activity. Brought back some good memories for me. Not gonna lie, I miss quite a few of you, so it made sense to let you know I'm still kicking. If Freeman is worried about turning 30, I'm turning 40 next year. Still baffles me as to how time just seems to fly quickly when you don't even think about it. Sure you have things to look forward to, like me getting engaged to my wonderful girlfriend and will be moving to live with her and her 2 kids by mid-2022. Met her through Final Fantasy XIV. Speaking of FFXIV, did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? Aside from that, I'm just trying to get through this shitty pandemic like everybody else.

As for randomly messaging people, I recall drunkenly messaging Dan when I was traveling on business. I think I was trying my hardest to resurrect ACW after a bender. And as for Xbox, anyone circling around here can add me (lordgibbon5565).

I'm on Mateus. Sadly we aren't on the same data center anymore, but coming up soon we'll be able to travel data centers. I started off as a BLM main and I've moved to DNC. Got me further in raiding then I thought I'd be able to do. Been loving the latest expansion and I've got high hopes for the next one in a few months.
