Hi, Weirdo. I thought you were one of the many who'd dropped off the
face of the earth. Nice to see an oldbie arise from the endless grey sea
of RL.

Yes, well. We keep to ourselves, mostly. Just pop in when
something other than spam shows up.

Yep. My college stuff got a lot more hectic, I got bored with all the
arguing and trolling on AGFF, and some other stuff was going on in RL,
so I decided I'd leave for a bit. I'd imagine some of that's the same
reason some people leave, for RL reasons; I'd never noticed just how
time consuming digging through AGFF was, and I had a relatively LIGHT
schedule, compared to what a lot of other people were doing. I probably
shouldn't be on here in the first place (since there's really something
I ought to be working on) but I noticed some recent ("recent" in
geologic terms, anyway) posts and thought I'd poke the group to see if
anything happened.
Hello again, everyone. :)
Some Weirdo
Same here, except I kind of found it out by acciedent. I was half
expecting to have to wait a while for an answer since the last post (as
opposed to spam) was sometime in 2004. How many of you guys are posting
via google, by the way? I'm just wondering, because I know they've got
a thing where they'll send you an email when there's new posts. It's
been so long that I can't remember whether news readers will do that,
too.

I'm okay. I've been busy working on my writing while I've been waiting
for my real job to start up again. (Yearbook publishing, unfortunately,
is seasonal work) How've you been, btw?

Either that, or people who left when the world moved on. But yeah.

All the better reason not to work on it. ;-P

Several of us keep an eye on it just because we don't feel like removing
it from our sub lists, I'd guess. About once a year someone will say
something and there'll be a flash crowd. Like now. This is all your
fault. ;-)
Most of the old regs communicate through Aim these days, actually.

Ah that's cool - lots of old AGFFers seem to have gotten into writing...
I've been up and down and all around, but mostly okay I guess. Nothing of
much interest...

Kinda freaky actually. It's like dropping a pebble into a pond and
expecting a small ripple, then suddenly a big splash comes out... I guess
I'm not the only who's kept subscribed to the group for a while "just in

I keep the group subscribed, and usually hit the 'get new
headers' button about once a day just for kicks. I'm probably
secondary to blame for the sudden flood since I mentioned to
Eyeglazer that Weirdo had posted when I noticed the post. ^^;;;

Aw, you've shattered the illusion now. I figured everyone was sitting
gripped to the edge of their seats for months waiting for someone to make a
post, and as soon as one person does everyone swarms in to reply. But no,
you have to go and ruin that idea :-(

I have a bunch of names on my buddy list, but I'm sure most of them
are old. I guess I need to start using AIM again.

I can pretty well guarantee mine's outdated. Hell, I never used
the same aim name more than a few months even when I was on
AGFF, why would I do so anywhere else? ;)

I think my AIM list has over 200 people in the "AGFF" group.

Make that over 200 user names. A lot were the same people.

There's too many chat clients, I can never stick with one - thankfully
Trillian helps with that. Knowing what Google are like their new GTalk is
bound to take over the world, in spite of having a name that sounds like a
sex line...

Anyone still use the 'AGFF' ID on AIM?

Yeah. I have the same problem. My problem is that I'm not sure which
are the "new" names and which are the old ones.
My aim name is the same as it was: aweirdo42. I had another one, but it
got suspended for some reason or another.

You're doing better than me. I don't remember any of the open
stuff. I remember people messaging me with it, though. And
usually telling them to bugger off since it was usually someone
trolling with it.

Even if it did, I don't think a spider could pick out a screen name from
a normal sentence like that. There's no easy marker like there is for
email addresses. (@ symbol)

posted this.
Ironically, most of them get met with my away message about how I'm grading
stuff. Not so hot, the fact is that the away message constitutes a reply
that lets them know its a valid AIM name.
Perhaps I should experiment more with invisibility...
