Posted by Saddletank on 02.05.2015, 10:19 PM: We all love you too. Very much. Compared to how you were when you joined (hey, weren't we all like that once anyway?) these days you've matured into an amazingly intelligent person, wise beyond your years. Some of the solid and almost profound posts you've written here in some of our deeper debates truly amazed and impressed me. I think I've told you that in a private message but basically you're so epic I think you ought to be proud of being told that in public.

Posted by Saddletank on 02.07.2015, 08:42 AM: All this talk of when people joined the Tavern made me get all nerdy and want to look it up. I spent ages going thru the first 32 pages of the 'highlight' thread and so now bring you...

I think the admin was a casual person without too much tech skill and didn't protect it properly, or didn't have time to. It was a fun place and I know a few people who are here were there as well.

Posted by arren18 on 02.12.2015, 06:30 AM: There were quite a few others who were active around the time I joined, but they've been gone for so long now.

Posted by arren18 on 02.12.2015, 08:05 PM: I expect on big forums that have been very active for a long time, there will be some seriously long-term members. On the other hand it's probably unusual for a small forum to be stubbornly kept alive for this long by a few old members.

Posted by Tea Master Tall on 02.16.2015, 02:48 AM: I haven't been very active at all on here. Life is busy. I'm a Junior in high school now and Math and Science are difficult areas for me. Lots of homework. I wish I could spend half the school day on practicing piano instead, so that maybe I could actually improve instead of feeling so disappointed with lessons. I involve myself in many extra curricular activities, because I feel like I have to make up for what I miss in school, but I am involved with way too much crap. I'm learning how to just barely keep commitments as opposed to actually learning important stuff. So I guess I'm frustrated. I know I need to do well in school in order to get to college where I will hopefully have more opportunities for real learning and growth, but it also feels pointless to do things in preparation for the future when I could be doing them now. After all, I can't be certain of my future- but school right now just seems like a chore that needs to be done to obtain meaningful education later rather than an effort towards meaningful education now. I guess I feel like Shizuku- more than anything I would like to say screw school and work on something I actually want to work on, but if I did that I think my life could end up being a lot harder in the long run. But, I don't know, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. But the personally worse decision of going along with school normally, seems to be the best option for survival in this American society. So that's basically what I've been doing and then stressing over juggling all my commitments: Theater, Piano Lessons, Writing a Newsletter, Art class, naturally I procrastinate most on the subjects I am least interested in: Math/Science. I think I'll get by, but there are few things more unsatisfying than just getting by when I know I'm capable of so much more. I have so many advantages that really it's pretty selfish for me to complain about school, but I know that bad education effects many people and I want to make a difference with my talents and an actual positive impact on society just as much as any well-meaning person does. Anyway, I guess this turned into a vent, but I still feel pretty good most of the time. I ignore stuff too much to be stressed out all the time, lol. And aside from school my life's great. |
