I originally came here for the EQ raid info and screenshots. After Furor rants, I liked looking at the pretty pictures. Then the board morphed into WoW raid content, I switched games as well and continued my normal routine. When my marriage fell apart, I spent a lot of time in the Girls Who Broke My Heart Thread. Eomer and Tarrant posted a lot there. Eomer was very intriguing and had a life I wished I had. Tarrant had the life I wished I had as a divorced man. Both gave great advice. Ravvenn helped as well and was one of the few people that would randomly ask how I was doing, even after I had lead others to believe I had healed. It does make me genuinely sad that things turned out for her like they did.
I dated, had family issues, relatives that passed away and friends that no longer considered me a friend. With all of that going on, along with the board changing homes several times, there were gaps I didn’t visit or wasn’t able to read much and I kind of lost touch.
Even ten years after my divorce, I’m still recovering from the loss. Not so much that I miss her, but recovering from bad decisions trying to take short cuts to happiness instead of buckling down and putting in the work.
My whole point, it’s really hard to to say what I think the perfect poster would be. I think we all bring something valuable to the table, which is why I have never ignored anyone. This thread just made me think of my favorites instead of my thoughts of a perfect one.
