Lunar Crescent --> Lunar Crescents --> Lunar Kreskents --> Lunar Croissants no wait scratch that last one

Hey friends! I miss this place and think of ya'll often. For new friends, I'm Toni, I was an SMod.. somewhere between 2003-2006 or something I think? and modded RPGs and Apple... I think I also took the Art forum when it was abandoned at some point. But perhaps what I remember most of all was changing. A lot. Of usernames. 😆

JK, I feel like I was on the forums during formative years, and I lived in bum fuck nowhere so there weren't a lot of tech nerds there exactly (just farming nerds), so learning from you all was among my best and most interesting conversations and memories from that time.

These days I have less time to play games, but I still looove RPGs. Recently (by which I mean 100+ hours over the last couple pandemic years) played Death Stranding, which felt sort of RPG-esque with it's high levels of discovery and immersion. Also now getting the chance to see how games are made doing org development and production for a little indie studio.

Hat tip to @Crystal for resurrecting this place, and @Boots for bringing me back from the dead!

Great to see you here @Lunar Kreskents. You weren't just a smod, you were a GREAT smod ;). Happy to have you in our little corner of the internet once again :D
Thank you! I am glad to be here!

❤️ I really did try to keep things on the level. I do org development now and if feels a little like SModding sometimes, so I guess some things never change. 😂

What are you up to these days? What prompted the GW reboot?

That seems really fitting, lol, I'm sure you do a great job at that! :)
What are you up to these days?
Well these days I'm a full time caregiver to my mother (certified, got my level 1 certification and whatnot), but because of the unique way her insurance permits her care I have a 24/7 job that I get to bill for a grand total of 26 hours a week, lol. So I'm not exactly rolling in dough these days, but I try. I was a Java programmer before that, quite enjoyed my job and it let me have a decent amount of savings when I did quit so I wasn't struggling for the first couple of years.
What prompted the GW reboot?
I wanted to do this from the moment GW closed, lol, but I figured people wouldn't join, now that GW's been fully gone for five years I figured why not give it a shot? I did and now we're seeing each other again after years and years of not having GW. Just seeing the names alone made all of this worthwhile :)

You were definitely there for the formative years, and made a lasting impression on the community and people in it. I’m just pissed off that I couldn’t remember your username when I started the “Where are they now?” thread, because your username was definitely one I was struggling to remember because at that time, we all were on first-name basis outside of the forums on IM’s… but I didn’t want to just rattle off a bunch of first names.

Welcome back. With each one of these threads, I’m feeling like that’s the more appropriate greeting.

Next time you fail to remember a user name, ask me if I remember it. I have a stupid memory for things like this sometimes.

Although I definitely don't remember all of the user names I had.

Thanks, Toni for pinging me on FB messenger to let me know this place existed lol. Some of you may remember me, with this same username and I think the same avatar that I have been using for a solid 20ish years now.

I had just posted about you the other day, but I think I might have misinterpreted the response I received. You were ALWAYS a solid source for good music. I knew exactly who to go to when I needed new tunes.

I wanted to be an smod because of that sweet avatar option! Which I think everyone got access to in 2005-2006 anyway.

Great to see you kicking and living, Toni.
