I joined SH back in 2006.
It took me an absolute age to pluck up the courage (yes, really! ) to make my first forum post.
I was *such* an avid lurker though. I read, laughed and perved vicariously through the epic Cafe threads. Your usernames, avatars and posting idiosyncrasies became increasingly familiar and when I finally went to socials and munches and put real faces to names, it was just great.
I love a good rummage in the depths of the SH vaults. The legendary GFZs of old, the Masquerade Balls, the Locked Thread club, the Avatar Challenges...
Welcome back, forumites of yore. Although I know circumstances are far from ideal, it's great to see so many folk back. I look forward to a chance to join in and finally chat with those of you I haven't had the pleasure so far.
:cheers:
