It was a vestige from my "fuck the police," edgemaster teenage days. I finally decided to update it to something more in line with my current facetiousness laden, comedic mindset. Couldn't use the one I wanted so I settled for a dapper, devilish duck who dicks. Also made a new signature for it, which should be reminiscent of that old tag line you remembered.
On those days in which my patience has reached its limit, particularly at work, I will remember the original tagline. :)

2012 I became a software developer for a small local company and still am to this day.
in 2013 I became a tutor at our Universoty for Programming 101 (non Computer studies courses)
And in the end of 2013 I became a cook for a local relief unit.
That is quite a career switch. Are you much happier at your current position? I believe helping others can bring about joy.

Yeah. There was a period when I was a somewhat active user, used to hang around the IRC and in some Skype chats. Now I check in here, the IRC and Skype every now and then, but sadly I've fallen out of touch with essentially everyone I had contact with on here.
I can't remember if we have conversed in-depth previously. However, your avatar, assuming you have been using it for some time, seems familiar.
It is not too late to reconnect with some of the members whom you have developed friendships with over the years.

If anyone remembers me it's probably for a bunch of failed civic projects, the most successful of which was the Seasonal Writing Contest, which (iirc) I proposed and set up with help from another lost elder, neko-chan. Good to see the far better qualified @Xenon carrying the baton on that one - fiction's never been my forte, and I always felt like a bit of a dick barging in and declaring myself de facto judge of all those people's hard work.
Other highlights include the Fakku Wiki I started in a vain effort to immortalise forum members who probably didn't want another permanent internet record of their sexual proclivities; and a Fakku e-zine, for which I wrote a bunch o' stuff, did some concept work and convinced Tegumi (a Kindle review), Nekohime (a recipe), Rbz (usual funny shit) and the almighty Gambler to submit articles, among others. Never saw the light of day, as my co-collaborator who promised to do all the InDesign work (which I now know would have been super rudimentary) never got further than samples.
Having joined a few years south of proper, I graduated with a bachelors in Journalism last year with gold fucking stars. It being journalism, I'm currently unemployed. Y'all want me to write you a visual novel or comically embellished eulogy, just holler. And it's good to see some of the old gang back together.
Couple of old avis I dug up
I was hoping you will show up. I must thank Rbz and Opanihuya for luring you here. :D
There are quite a number of users who have worked hard in promoting the Writing and Fanfiction section; you happen to be one of these users.
Is the Fakku wiki still up and functioning? I continue to dream that the Fakku E-zine will become a reality someday. Even a single issue will suffice.
I have been unemployed for quite a while previously. My current contract runs till mid September. If luck smiles upon me, I might secure another job before leaving my current position. Let us work hard in securing employment!
On another note, we should discuss football / soccer more often.
Lastly, definitely the avatar on the right. It brings back memories.

It's pretty emotional. I cried for a while at the ending and just about all the way through the movie. That being said I can't speak for everyone on the crying front, but if you're prone to crying at movies and shows and such then yeah, might want to get the tissues ready. Crying is certainly something within the anime's power to make you do.
What was the movie about? I did not know a movie existed until I was reading it up on wikipedia.

Were you around when I drew the other Fakku group picture? Spawned from a random blurb that Antwon bust out- a tale of heartbreak, danger, and heroism. You feature as one of the protags.
I doubt I can recall the image. Nonetheless, my memories indicate you are a good artist.

Anyway: real life: Started as a student when I joined, as of now I'm still a student. Just graduated like 3 times during the course of my time here haha. I keep contact with some people on ctfg and ib, and occasionally play games with them. Besides school, I have work, at a small delicatessens. I serve there. and kitchen work.
Personality wise I have learnt not to care too much about others during my time here. They're all going to leave anyway. Just appreciate the ones you have. Although it's also through fakku that I found true love, and that outweighs the guilt of fapping 6 times at night.
Learning is a lifelong journey. I ought to put more effort into my studies too. Not just the Japanese language, but in other aspects of life too.
I reckon you are busy these days; I look forward to staying in contact with yourself.

Calling it a night. Will try to read through all the posts and reply subsequently. Maybe more veteran members will appear. Keeping my bear paws crossed.[/color]
