I feel you. I will say that I feel like I have things in common and have gotten to know a handful of members here, on one hand.
On the other hand - again, outside of a few members - I never really hear from anyone on here, even on an irregular basis, half the time the site seems to be down (perhaps partly because I'm in Australia) while I love the aspect of retaining older sites, writing reviews occasionally and so forth, a) there's been very little 'newness' in Castlevania for a very long time, and b) I assume the heavyhitters and olderheads like myself have moved on and are doing other things in life.
So yeah, it is what it is. Greatful for the admin, mods and anyone involved in keeping the forums alive.
