Thank you! =)Blimey, welcome back
Thank you, as well.
I was really surprised to see them - but they definitely worked! xD
I was actually curious about what happened with you since uh
that one site went down, SEF or something? A lot of old faces have become scarce in the past few years.
Quite a few faces, I'm sure. I left SEF and created another, smaller forum with a different focus, then I joined a large RP forum and eventually became the Admin of it.
Now I'm blissfully content being able to be a part of a forum where I'm a.) Not on staff, and therefore don't have any responsibilities to worry about. and b.) Where the members are WAY, WAAAAY nicer than the ones I deal with. xD
Seriously, I'm shocked at how amiable you all are - it's not what I've been used to for the past year or so on other boards.
Thanks again for the warm welcome back - you're all awesome. =)
I've yet to play Xenogears but I've heard nothing but great things about it. You no longer cosplay? How come? Sorry if I seem nosey, I just love to cosplay myself hence the curiousity. And that's wonderful about your intentions to marry! I hope everything is magical for you and your partner. 
College is always great fun - I'm trying to get a photography course. I did a little in my previous years with Art & Design. Enjoyed it so much that I had to try to come back for more. I really look forward to seeing some of your work. Welcome back to the forums!!!

To be fair, it was both sides. It's all water under the bridge now anyway so, apologies.
Welcome back anyway, hope you get to stick around
Welcome back to the forums!
I don't think I was around when you were here, but, good to see the old members back.
Thank you for the welcome! =)

Xenogears is an amazing game - I wish they'd update it, because it had such a phenomenal storyline, but it's hard for newer gamers to play it because of the graphics. [It came out around the time that FFVII did.]
I quit cosplay for a lot of reasons. It's an expensive hobby, it involved a lot of traveling, and there was a lot of drama involved that just killed the hobby for me. Also, my best friend, CJ, [He's the popular Kefka cosplayer on Youtube] didn't cosplay much anymore, so it sort of killed my enjoyment for it. xD
I actually met Fair_Game through FFF, in a strange turn of events. He joined one of the RPs I met, and realized we lived close to one another, we started chatting, and eventually met up - it was love at first sight. xD So, we moved in together shortly after, and we're coming up on our 3 year anniversary. Here's a pic of us together:
Photography is a lot of fun, and I hope you pursue it! If you want to check out my work, the link to my gallery is in my sig. =)

It's good to be back, and I'm glad it's all over and done with. =)
I hope so, as well! I love your username, btw - it sounds very angelic.
Well, a lot of things have changed here. I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone, really I'm not, but it'd be mere sophistry to say things were fine the way they were just a few years ago.
I was personally removed from the team for my negligence in '08, so I really don't know what all went down as far as you leaving on bad terms. But it's like I said, a lot of stuff has changed. The Staff has even had a complete overhaul besides a few of our older members.
I really cannot stress enough how much the community has changed and how pleased I am with it. That being said, I'm pretty sure most of us who are still around are willing to let bygones be bygones.
anyhow, welcome back.
edit: i was trying to remember the username of that guy you met here yesterday i couldn't remember it for the life of me.
it's nice to know you're both still doing well. =)
I remember you somewhat, dont think we ever spoke once though.
Welcome back

Welcome back...

Welcome back Contra!
You're friends with THE Kefka?! xD
I hate, hate, hate you D: < [/jk<3]
It's understandable why someone would quit cosplaying due to expenses, especially that of a friend. Seems to take the fun out of everything, eh? I'm trying to get my fiance, Leo, to cosplay with me because I'm rather lonely when I go to conventions on my own. Right enough, if you do it well, everybody want's your photograph. xD
That's so romantic! Ironicly, Leo and I first met on a Final Fantasy forum much like this one... We discovered that we lived close by and met up. Fell instintly in love and got engaged. (His mother was so pissed. > A >) We've been together for almost 8 years now. > u < Will be a while before we can marry though.
You two look uber cute together. ^____^ <333
You will have many beautiful babies!
Whachu planning for your anniversary?
btw, MAY I BOTTLE SOME OF YOUR TALENT?

The place really looks great, and it's good to see it has improved so much over the years. Thanks again for the welcome!
And, yeah, Chris is Fair_Game on here. He pokes in very seldom, but he's got a full plate, so I don't think he'll be staying for any extended amount of time on FFF.

Welcome back
I remember you as well - and no, we didn't speak very much. Thank you, though! =)

I don't believe so, but thank you for the welcome!
I really need to revive that RP, it was one of my favorites - and so shortlived! =(
Feel free to check out my RP characters in my sig, incase you want to RP with me sometime. =)
Thanks, Rydia! Good to see you again.
Welcome back, Kendra! It's lovely to see another old member return.
It's great to be back among so many familiar faces. Different names - but, good thing you have the 'Username History' feature enabled! Haha.

Haha, that's awesome! It's great to hear of another couple with similar circumstances!
You should get him into cosplay! Couple cosplay is adorable! I tried getting my boyfriend into it, but I found I liked him better as my assistant, haha. Holding my camera, make up, accessories, etc. xD My cosplays were always rather...uncomfortable, so it was necessary to have people around to help me with it.
Thanks for the compliments! We plan on going to a nice restaurant for our anniversary, probably a quiet day with one another - nothing fancy.
And, you should just get on out there and start shooting with your camera! I'm sure you could take awesome photographs! All it takes is a vague idea, and a method to capture it! =)
I realize I've been a long time saying welcome back. Your name rings a bell. But I guess I didn't have much contact with you when we were both on staff. I wonder if you even remember me.
Anywho, welcome back. Oh and I loved your photography. Couldn't really comment much on it though.
