Well hello, strangers! I see Huw's still kicking around but are there any other of you old folks from the dialup days lurking? I'm both amazed and impressed that this is still going all things considered. The age of the forum, socially, has been crucified by twitter and facebook and companies are happy to pay so a free forum... it was the best back then though.
Anyway, I stumbled upon a game I started developing about 15 years ago and thought I'd try it out again, do a bit more work... it took me a while figure out that I couldn't launch it because I was calling the old config and inc_header from a now non-existant forum as I'd built the game out of the forum. I suppose developers these days will never start from the same point of having a community and building from it the way we used to, or if they do it'll be a team of slapped heads instead of just one!
As a slight aside I'm particularly interested if anyone's kept in touch with Marcel(G), in a leavers sort of way. I used to moderate on his site back in the day and he on mine, but I've not heard from him in a long time and this was before our new facebook overlords so I'm at a loss.

Not many people around these days, not seen MarcelG for a long while

I still drop by occasionally, but it's usually pretty quiet. I fondly remember the early days with Mike/John/Gor and a couple three pages of new posts on every visit to the forum. I don't do facebook/twitter/etc either.

I still look in occassionally from a nostalgic view

I pop in occasionally, also. I still write code almost daily, but I'm isolated. I tend to avoid the dumbing down sites, also. I prefer having sufficient space/characters in which to express myself meaningfully, and I'm not fond of Facebook and the pervasive collection/dissemination of private data. Although President Trump seems to enjoy "Twitter", it isn't always the best idea to say whatever comes to mind when you have access to those levels of classified information. Similar to Hillary's "What difference does it make?" comment regarding the murder of the Benghazi embassy staff, sometimes it's better to just keep your mouth shut/"tweet" off.

I haven't been around in ages... just popped in on a whim today.
My role at the hospital had changed, and coupled with burnout I'd been doing less and less programming.
I quit the hospital about a year ago and went on sabbatical. Haven't done much programming until recently. Even then, I've been doing more with static site generators than anything else. Hopefully I'll be launching some podcasts in the next few months, and starting a few other things... once I can manage the energy. Burnout sucks.
