Hello guys, gals, and non-binary pals.
Man, I actually teared up a bit when I saw the ~2009/2010(?) forum layout. I joined back in the fall of '08, member #429. All these years, I still remember that number haha. Just getting this out of the way for any other oldheads: I'm Shadowmario, not Shadow Mario, I know there was another guy with that name. I think around 2011 I switched my name to Reusable. Avatar related, it was the first avi I had on JV.
Just want to say to you guys from 10 years ago: I grew up with you guys. Read through some other posts, and I think a lot of us share that sentiment. Back in '08 I just started middle school and I was at home alone a lot while my mom would be working. You guys were the company that I needed back then. I think I walked away from JV for one reason or another at some point around 2013? I don't remember.
If anyone remembers me and would like to reconnect, please reach out to me at my old gmail: reticentstorm0
Not sure how effective that'll be from spam bots, but just add the @gmail.com. Regardless, I'd love to chat with some old friends, maybe play some games again.
I'm 23 now, wrapping up my college career. Graduating in May with a bachelor's in math and physics, hoping to work in data science but we'll see what this pandemic has in store for me. I hope everyone (oldheads and new friends alike) is standing their ground in this crisis.
Cheers,
Shadowmario
Edit: Also big thanks to the folks who run the forums and pr2 these days. I remember the website going down a few years back and thought that was that. Incredible to see a revived community over a decade later
