Same here! A lot of people I know and others I respect immensely.

Let's not forget those that weren't as lucky and may not be here right away. Need to get everyone over.

Hi guys :) I'm glad to see some familiar faces! Was registered for about 10 years but didn't write that much and often changed my avatar.

I'll just quote myself from the other thread about changing the username:
I did (a bit). My old username was "DieNgamers".



Which was supposed to be read in German and roughly translates to "TheN(intendo)gamers". It was a shared account I had with my sister for a couple of months but she "left", so I was alone with a nick that sounded like hatespeech against groups of videogame fans, haha.

Now with just the D it's pronounced it the way it should be. ;)
Off to a fresh start!

Yeah it’s nice to see tons of recognisable names and faces. I’m having conversations on Twitter with folk who are still swimming to the lifeboats so there’ll be more to come.

I do hate that I feel the need to change my avatar to whatever mood im in every couple weeks/month because man some people's avatars are immediately identifiable.

A lot of the people were banned for insanely stupid reasons back on the old place, so it's nice to see the vast majority of them back!

I'm not joking my heart swelled just reading through this topic and seeing so many people I recognize. It feels great being here. I shortened my name a bit, but hopefully people still recognize the avatar.

I feel the same way OP. Even people that I thought left the other site before it came crashing down are showing up here. Doubt most will recognize me but I'm keeping my username and avatar.

Crazy trip down the memory lane. I've been on g. for 12 years and posted like 2 or 300 times lol. I recognize a lot of you and it feels great. I just hope the emoji's announcement thread is created by kittonwy.

Anybody know if Nirolak or XiaNaphryz are here? They were two of my favorite mods - Nirolak for his industry analysis and Xia for his fast food threads.

I can't tell you how happy it's made me. Seeing Scullibundo in a movie thread just made me smile yesterday.

Now I'm patiently waiting for ElectricBlanketFire's February tradition.

Ya know, I always loved GAF despite also hating it. I feel like maybe I can let go of some of that hate here. A total Reset of the heart.

I saw Wollan around here earlier. That was wild. I know he was sort of around the last year or so, but that's how you know the whole old guard has migrated.

Love seeing everyone here. I get so excited when I see a familiar face.

It's been great seeing everyone slowly but surely. I had to rest after yesterday so I'm playing catch-up, but I've already seen so many familiar faces. It makes me really happy to see the community come together like this.

There's a lot of familiar names here and so early. I think a few more notables will be on their way when registration opens up again.
