Guys, how are you?

It feels like eternity. T.a.j., Joost, Daijin, Gandalf de Grijze. Orodaran, Sleeping Dragon, West Virgina Mool, Sarah, ra me nivar, Noam, corrupted old gnom, End of An Era, Baby Kürsch, Little Dragon, Annie...

Are you still around? What the hell? You are missed.

I am! And the same goes for many of the others, although the forum isn't as active as before -- it's been some time since the last heated debate, I'm afraid. Anyway, welcome (back) to the Slaughterhouse!

How are you doing, these days? (btw, there are plans of a larger forum meeting again this spring or (probably more likely) summer... how about joining?)

Gandalf de Grijze · #3 Post by **Gandalf de Grijze** » 07 Mar 2013 22:03

sure i'm alive

and joost: this is the coffeeshop, not the slaughterhouse

End Of An Era · #4 Post by **End Of An Era** » 07 Mar 2013 23:14

Palantyre · #5 Post by **Palantyre** » 08 Mar 2013 09:16

Oh we're all alive alright.

This forum ain't, though.

t.a.j. · #6 Post by **t.a.j.** » 08 Mar 2013 09:20

Yeah, still kicking. The facebook group should be mentioned: There is a facebook group for you to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/320103081404465/

As Hansi would say, "I'm Alive" too

still checking daily even if there's barely anything going on!

Belgarion · #8 Post by **Belgarion** » 09 Mar 2013 12:30

Good to hear that most of you survived the last few years

No easy feat anymore!

I'm also doing well since i still have a job that i love, family and above all, whisky. What else would a man need?

I'll be joining you guys at the spring/summer meeting if the timing is right.

Little Dragon · #9 Post by **Little Dragon** » 11 Mar 2013 14:03

Yeah, still alive. Or something.

Sarah · #10 Post by **Sarah** » 11 Mar 2013 16:39

I'm alive as well, although not lurking around too often anymore...

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Now, sorry Belgarion, but this is slightly more spectacular/shocking than your return!

Welcome back... Antti was it, right?

Belgarion · #14 Post by **Belgarion** » 11 Mar 2013 22:41

7th post after 11 years? you are my hero!

That's correct, Mr. Joost. Your memory seems to be in good shape.

I'm around, yes. Once in a while I do check the website and have a peek at the forums too.

And Belgarion, I emphasize quality not quantity. One of my posts is worth few hundred regular ones.

He must have been fuckin' lurking for YEARS, waiting for the right moment to make an hell of a quote.

And he even actually succeeded in that.

Frozen within · #22 Post by **Frozen within** » 04 May 2013 13:01

Uninvited grey hairs are slowly marching upwards on my ever more exposing scalp and the passsing of time is destroying dream by dream with a stunning ferocity, but I'm as fucking alive as fucking ever as well

Awesome to see so many old nicks popping up all of a sudden !

Belgarion · #23 Post by **Belgarion** » 08 May 2013 00:51

But do you really eat more vegetables?

I try to, but it's not easy.

Angus · #24 Post by **Angus** » 12 May 2013 04:24

Salads with a good dressing TBH. Also stir-fried veggies.

End Of An Era · #25 Post by **End Of An Era** » 12 May 2013 18:47

I think there were some slices of tomatoe scattered over the pizza I just ate, but it all happened so fast, it could have been anything that's red really.

Belgarion · #27 Post by **Belgarion** » 18 May 2013 20:05

Those reddish discs scattered over the pizza? They are salami.

Flame of Udun · #28 Post by **Flame of Udun** » 25 Jul 2013 09:16

Wow, you guys still exist. I think this might be my 2nd post in like six years.

last.fm · #29 Post by **Joost** » 28 Jul 2013 22:34

Oh wow, Flame of Udun!, that's been a while.

Andreas · #30 Post by **Andreas** » 29 Jul 2013 17:33

Indeed. Tomorrow is my 11th anniversary as a member of this forum. Those were surely the days.

t.a.j. · #33 Post by **t.a.j.** » 19 Aug 2013 11:22

Once upon a time there was a forum
where we used to have a chat or two.
Remember how we spammed away the hours
and dreamed of all the meeting we would do?

Those were the days my friend
we thought they'd never end
We'd chat and spam, forever and a day
Discussing politics
Religion and the licks
that our guardians they were known to play

Then the busy years went rushing by us
the meetings getting rare along the way
Soon Heersch flags flew no longer over Wacken
And in the forum spam bots ruled the day

Those were the days my friend
we thought they'd never end
We'd chat and spam, forever ever more
full of camaraderie
dreaming of love to be
remembering shows that we had seen before

Just tonight I logged onto the forum
nothing seemed the way it used to be
days old threads that lay without an answer
and was that word shy watcher really me?

Those were the days my friend
we thought they'd never end
We'd chat and spam, forever and a day
And all the names we knew
of members old and new
where are they now, did they just go away

Then on the board an old, familiar nickname
appeared and asked me “are you still alive”?
And soon my fingers danced upon the keyboard
writing with that old familiar drive.

Those were the days my friend
we thought they'd never end
We'd chat and spam, until the edge of time
debating this and that
and posting drunk or mad
And I myself, from time to time a rhyme.....

Gawain · #35 Post by **Gawain** » 19 Aug 2013 16:50

This is actually more than moving... I also miss those days. Flaming trolls, fighting the introduction of admins to the forum, the Round Table... playing Anton Maiden as loud as possible in Wacken in order to delight the Heerschers... I miss Anton Maiden btw...

Damn you guys are old

I went to school back then, now I'm finally graduating university.. it's been a while indeed..

EDIT: 51 posts, are you fucking kidding me???? See that's why I fought the adminds.. I used to be in the top 5 in 2005

Yeti of Chaos · #36 Post by **Yeti of Chaos** » 20 Aug 2013 14:29

O Tex, what a beautiful poem! You almost made me cry!

Couldn't anyone make a song of that...?

This is really epic.
And yes, I miss those days, too.

We just need someone to record my version

Sleeping Dragon · #38 Post by **Sleeping Dragon** » 20 Aug 2013 21:42

hehe, I just saw Tex getting all nostalgic and mushy... Truly those were the times of wonder.

And why not relive them again...?

Just sayin'...

Yeti of Chaos · #39 Post by **Yeti of Chaos** » 20 Aug 2013 22:18

Exactly that song popped up in my mind. Yet, I bet you won't want ME to try to record it!

Daijin · #40 Post by **Daijin** » 20 Aug 2013 22:55

Seems like my account is still working...
Yes, I'm still alive. But no, sadly I'm not following this forum anymore.

Greetings from mighty Iceland which I recently conquered.

Envinyatar · #41 Post by **Envinyatar** » 21 Aug 2013 08:48

Wow, I just logged in after quite a while and was the only one online. Wouldn't have happened in the past...

Just sneaking in (first time in 3 years or so?), nice to see some of you still here

Sentinel · #45 Post by **Sentinel** » 23 Sep 2013 15:52

Seems like forever since I last visited this forum, but yes I'm still alive.

@Tex: Beautifully done! And I miss those times, too. In fact, right now I'm really enjoying posting in this very forum instead of browsing some shit in FB. Feels good.

DarkVeil · #46 Post by **DarkVeil** » 28 Sep 2013 17:26

I guess after all these years, the only thing that could kill us is boredom. Or liver diseases...

Frozen within · #50 Post by **Frozen within** » 06 Dec 2013 00:00

Well there's that indeed, but also getting squashed by trees is currently a plausible way to go over here at the moment. Damn it was terrible outside today, and I don't even live anywhere near the coastline where things were supposedly even way worse.

Steem, Bart, Marcel : your houses are still there ?
