I first joined back in 2010. The reprints had just been announced, and this place was a'bustling. I was on this forum everyday from December 2010, pretty much until around the summer of 2012? The group we formed sort of fell apart, and people moved on to do other things. As you say, life gets in the way.
Over the years, I sporadically hop back on. Maybe comment on "Things the Animorphs (and Other Characters) Would Never Say" thread, or some other posts. Typically, it's after I do my re-watch of Poparena's Opinionated Animorphs Book Guide. But I'm rarely on for long.
Would be nice if the old crowd came back. Had some fond memories and hilarious conversations over skype.
*Sigh*
