He's done it a few times in the past... problem is that there was little to no return on it. There are a lot of different reasons that could be the case, but I think that one of the big things could be that the e-mails that are registered to the old guys now may no longer be valid. They may not even exist anymore.

Facebook might be the only real option I could think of in order to reach out to some of them- not terribly difficult since the main people pretty much knew each other by name anyhow, and were friends there. Impossible for me, though, since I got rid of my account years ago.

While I came originally to the boards for the horror movies back in the day I pretty much stayed for the community.

Hell, if I remember correctly, Kash wasn't really HUGE into watching horror movies as much as the bulk of us were- but she was one of the larger posters.

It'd be interesting to have like a "where are they now- 10 years later" sort of thing. Maybe play Layla.

True. Kind of like that old Simpsons episode with Mr. Burns... he has every disease known to man- so basically everything in there is stuffed in the doorway and can't finish the job.

I'm pretty much on the same boat as you... I think there are too many people on either side in politics and media that have drummed up people into thinking that we need to shut down forever until there is a cure (what happened to just "flattening the curve"? Goalposts, much), or we need to just open the floodgates (did it just stop being super contagious all of a sudden? Tards). Doing either is both stupid and irresponsible.

Considering that I have asthma I have a vested interest in not catching this thing... and I've been following the numbers and scientific articles (not sensational news) pretty closely- straight from the CDC and others. Basically unless you are both old and have some sort of semi-serious pre-condition you will be fine, if you even get it at all... and if you do the odds are likely you won't ever realize you had it. Mind you, this is with inflated numbers that pretty much everyone has admitted to having.

It doesn't mean there aren't outliers- there always are with anything- but I think pretty much everyone everywhere has handled this horribly. Chickens with their heads cut off and every person in charge of anything at all looking to get overreactive so it looks like they "did something". I myself have kind of favored the idea of this "Swedish model" that people have talked about... except I wanted to see it from the beginning. Problem is that (especially here in the US) you can't necessarily apply that everywhere... particularly the larger areas.

I have De's number, so I still talk with him every now and again. I had a business meeting a year or so ago in Ohio and tried to get into contact with L again, too, to see if he wanted to meet up- but never heard back. I also have your number (unless that one is outdated)... but that is the extent of my FE-external communications since all my old IMs are toast.

That is actually really close... looks like you're on the right track. Lucky for me I don't need to lose anything.

It sounds like I'm pretty much in the same boat as the two of you. I did tend to go out with my friends/co-workers semi-regularly... but that kind of got thrown out the window. It's getting to be about summer time anyway, so going outside to hike is meh. They had us working from home, but since the Governor lifted the orders they've been filtering us back in... which is a shame because I actually liked working from home.

It can be a real easy skip-over if you don't know what you're looking at... the only reason why I thought to check it out was because their newest season just came out a few months back so they were giving it a bit of a push at the time.

Ah, hot airbending... that can be pretty dangerous depending on what you order.

The thought crossed my mind to send this over to the Horror section, but since this is a show I figured it might be best here. Having said that...

I saw this one on Netflix a few times a while back and didn't really think much of it... I just sort of glossed it over until I actually hovered over the thumbnail one day and boy was I surprised! And one of the best parts is that the dubbing is actually really good, too.

Essentially, if you haven't a clue what this is- feudal zombie apocalypse Korea. That pretty much sums up the description as concise as possible, and it works!

At first I thought it was just a mini series- then I noticed that it had a second season. And now I can't wait to see when/if the third will come out!

Has anyone given this show a shot before?

I have to admit I'm not at all really big on anime but this was a show I was tipped off to a few years back. After some coaxing gave it a shot and thought it was pretty good. And now it's on Netflix! Kind of hard not to come up with a reason to watch it, eventually.

The show itself is fairly old now, and has even gotten a spin off (which I haven't had a chance to watch yet) that is also apparently fairly good.

Certainly much better than the movie- fact.

Been a few months since I posted a damn thing... I really ought to work on that. Seems like every time I get the opportunity to post at all I get sidetracked with other stuff and then it gets swept to the back of my mind.

So how's this lovely plague been affecting everyone? I suppose that's topical.

Good to have someone else around to try and get this place back in the swing of things. I've certainly been slacking, myself!

He's at the that sweet spot age for the Corona.

EBR comes up with some pretty good stuff at times. I especially like the ones with their actual historic figures... but I guess I'd be a little biased.

In Vegas, eh? Well I'm sure you all fit right in.
