That's a hell of a lot more explanation than I was expecting! Definitely clears things up though, so thanks. It'll be fun to see what happens down the road as things progress for sure. Props for keeping it going.

Shit isn't a joke. Been fighting with it for the better part of a decade now, and since it's really taking off everywhere it makes it even harder now than it was 5 years ago. I've been on methadone for a few years, tapering down right now and I'm about halfway through. Haven't used heroin since last year, but when I quit heroin and got on methadone I became an all-day-every-day drinker. When I got a job that stopped (just drank every night instead), but now I have a medical issue that worsens when I drink so I've been sober for a while, with slip ups here and there. So to anyone who is dealing with any type of addiction, I wish you well. It's a constant struggle, and sometimes I almost feel that obsessing over not doing drugs is almost as bad as doing drugs, at least as far as mental health goes. Either way, it's too late to go back to normal now. Also, symbols, ralphy, and lugr, thanks for the kind words on Sword.

I've been going through stuff I have been gifted from Sword over time - sketches and stuff. This thread came to mind because we were talking about it when we were drinking one night a few years back, so I've been reading old posts. This one is eerie. Dude was obviously joking since that's how his sense of humor was, but still. Gone but not forgotten, RIP Sword.

Since this is somewhat of a reunion thread, can I ask what happened to the forum? I joined in 2008, met some cool cats off here, last visited maybe 2012 or 2013. Tried logging in last year sometime and was able to get into my account but I didn't have permission to post? Gave up, tried again another time, same thing. Then, I couldn't log in at all. I see now after looking around that this was apparently a larger issue, I'm gonna email to try and get my account back. Anyways, viewed as a guest to see what was going on, and forum was dead as hell. Thought that maybe it was because I was a guest, but now that I re-registered, I see that it wasn't. Where did everyone go? This place was poppin for the longest.

RIP SWORDSKI Gone too soon.
