I have returned

[Theophile1]

As Douglas MacArthur said, "I have returned." Though, I'm much less prideful than he was.

Hi, everyone. I've found my courage, and thanks to recent sociopolitical swings, I've come back, and hopefully to stay this time. I apologize for bugging out suddenly. I panicked when I saw what the United Kingdom was doing, but since things have calmed down somewhat, I've slowly crawled back onto the worldwide web.

I'll post the UberGaijin/QuicksandArtist Imgur files later today or tomorrow. I've also managed to finish my archiving of the late Pete Boggs' work, both sinking-centered and otherwise, form Deviantart, here on this humble and niche forum, and wherever else I have been able find it online (even old eBay auction items. What I would give to be able to get them). Thank God for the Web Archive! The files I have are still kind of messy, but I've got it somewhat organized. I'll see about posting that here as well in a different thread on Drawings or somewhere.

It's good to be back.

Hi Theophile1 - Well welcome back matey, as someone else in the UK who saw the mud on the wall start to slide downwards I took came off a number of sites and cut back on fetish meets out of fear and in terms of safety, however its nice that you have come back to the site and hopefully you'll start to join in and meet with local and like minded guys for fun times and friendships.

Can I ask where are you based please ?

I appreciate the friendliness, but I'd rather not say. In this age where international corporations and conglomerates are hell-bent on getting everyone's data and information to the point they can tell whether we've had a shower this morning, I'd like to say as little about myself as I can. I'd like to start practicing again what many of us, including myself, were taught in school and growing up as the internet became more widely available: don't give out personal information online, especially if you can help it. It's why I spent so many years lurking, until I both gathered up enough courage and found ways to not using my main contacts. Even saying this might be too much, who knows? All I'll say in this case is that I'm not in the United Kingdom. Thanks for the welcome, though!

Well Thanks for the reply back, although a little surprising that you come on a forum to possibly meet up with like minded guys with a similar interest only to refuse and not want to share some information. At least I now know your NOT in the UK.

Is it ignorance or immaturity? Either way, it's showing.
