Welcome to Gaia! ::

It can be really hard to find an active guild that you like the look of.
The only reason I don't is because I don't really want to have totrawl through the guild registary looking for a good guild.

yay! smithy! you're here!

and burger, you're right. it's hard to say things when there's nothing to say. xD

Maybe people don't like being confined to such a small area to talk in, or just feel intimidated when they join because we are all going on with inside jokes and jolly business and they can't really get a word in.

i've heard them too... for a while it was all people here who knew each other in person though, so it did make it difficult. but now should be different a bit since we don't see each other every day anymore.

I was one of the few who made the effort to post when I first joined. I can say from the other side it was a bit intimidating at first, but you lot are a likeable enough bunch after a while razz

What has happened to TI? I haven't had a domination war with her for a while. I miss her wit. Because guilds have such a small user group (relatively) it doesn't take many of the more active ones to drop out and make the guild dead. This particular one seems to have lost most of its top posters such as myself, mooby, jeoc, TI, hyper, etc. Some of us return, others never do. Life and commitments tend to get in the way as you get older. Its been several years since I first joined. I used to have plenty of time to post, but nowadays I have next to none. I've moved out of home, moved interstate and back, going to uni, holding down a steady job and it leaves me with little time to catch up with old friends. I've missed the people here, and that is why I am making the effort to try and catch up with everyone again. If only more people would, we could have the old guild back.

Blossom, is it possible to send out a PM to all of the old members saying "We miss you and want you back?"

I know! Wouldn't it be great to be in Australian Med School? Australian doctors in training... I could live there.

I have moved out of my parent's house at last, which will be new to Shadow. I live on my own now and work at a Little Caesars full time, lol. The reason why I'm not on all the time is because my parents have my laptop at their house, so I either have to wait another two weeks to use it, or borrow my friend's. ^^;
