Long time no see.

I think I posted as something serpent on here, Savvy serpent maybe? I dont know I can't remember the log in so I had to make a whole new account on here. 

Just dropping in to say hi. 

No good forums these days. 

This looks like its probably the last bastion! 

Hope you're doing well, MO. 

I have a lot of assorted content and things I want to discuss and share that I'll probably make threads later on but I wanted to at least drop in and say hi and that I've got the forum here bookmarked to remind myself to come around more often. 

Cheers!

Serpy!? That's you?!

OMG WTF!

I've wondered where you've been...



Biggest hugs to you, it's so good to see you.

Blessings, and I hope things are so epic in your life.

[Mister Obvious]

I definitely remember your name, but I do remember a couple of peeps who used "serpent" throughout the years.

Awww, I love all you folks so much!

Thanks for bookingmarking the forum BTW, we rebranded the domain name a while back so it's good to have that updated URL.

Its great to see you too! 

I go back and forth getting absorbed in various projects and always have had a love/hate relationship with technology and am prone to disappear every once in a while. 

Things are exceptionally well for me right now. 

I'll DM you, I'd like to minimize the personally identifiable stories and details this time around at least in the "digitally public" arena. 

I definitely want to catch up with you though.

Yeah I hear you, lol. I'm used to the cycles I go through with it now though and I know how to deal with burnout when it comes along.

The PM system has been closed for a long time...

Just protect your personal details as best you can when you post.

I never like people to use their real names, handles they use on social media, their picture, etc.

Here we like to choose a nice anonymous persona to express ourselves, the idea is to get away into a safe and private space to be honest about our thoughts/feelings.

[Mister Obvious]

When the era of Facebook came along, people started attaching their REAL name and their real photo to their persona, and honesty went right out the window...

I am totally against that kinda thing.

Anonymous and honest is the beauty of the internet.

Anonymous and honest is the beauty of the internet.

Oh absolutely! 

I whole heartedly agree there and I have learned the hard way to be cautious about the personal details I put out.

Though I do have a mild "social media personality / influencer / spaces host" gig over on Twitter but even there I dont use my real name although its a tad bit more personally identifiable but I have nothing to hide. I'm not so paranoid nor am I antagonistic enough towards others online for my real world safety to become jeopardized over something that transpired online. Although, been there, done that,

I've become more forward facing though which I guess is a big transition and an evolving of sorts that has unfolded since we last spoke. 

I have a few books and papers published but nothing major and nothing I want to shamelessly self promote here. 

I didnt come back to the forum just to promote my material or creative works, I was just feeling a bit intellectually lonely and out of the fog I happened to catch a glimpse of fond memories of chatting on here.

Besides I have always loved your candor and insight and unparalleled wit.

Long story short though regarding the DM's, I emailed you anyway to the address in your contact info. 

Talk more soon and again, very happy to have found my way back.

Thank you for having this place for me to come back to at all.

Sweet, yeah just make sure whatever you post is original and can't be linked back to your real persona anywhere.

If you're sharing something you've already published, just change up the wording and summarize it, cuz I don't want you regretting that you posted something that could link back to who you are.

Just lookin' out for ya!

These forum communities are great places to get a sense of togetherness with like minds without having to *actually* deal with anybody, rofl!

So thanks for stopping by mine ;)

And hey, there are plenty others for you to get your fix in whenever things are slow here or I'm not around.
