SeaTurtle here, yet another newbie that sticks around here.
2008, eh? That was one of HQ's biggest years in terms of Emergencies... Well, as far as I know we didn't have any new ones so nothing much as changed.
Except Makes-Things isn't dead. That's a big one.
So, a good while ago, this Board was a huge part of my life...then college hit, and I kinda vanished...sorry about that...
It's been a long time, so here's the short version: I'm Tomato, and my primary agent pair were Maria Falcone and Crispin Reed of RC #24601. Last time I was here, the PPC was still recovering from the Second Ypur Invasion.
I'm back now. Hi, guys.
I don't believe we've been introduced before, so please take this complimentary jar of cookies :3
Nice to meet you, have some fudge!
Ooh, fudge!
Welcome back, Tomato!
Is very, very cool to see you again! We haven't had a Ypur invasion in a little while, but things maintain the upness and the downness and myriad chaos in between. Business as usual, really!
(College. Sadly, it gets in the way of most things. It is good you survived!)
The Ypurs were always entertaining, but they did make things a bit difficult.
Myriad chaos is good.
Have a complimentary Awake! Feed it lots of espresso and gelato, please!
Hi there! Welcome back!
Which Ypur invasion was that? 'Cause I think there were two in 2008, but then we had another one in 2010, at least according to the wiki pages on the subject.
Anyway, how's things? Do you have a shiny degree and stuff now?

Though I did occasionally check the Board going through 2010.
I do indeed have a shiny degree, and now I'm working towards my master's. I have my very own cat and a kitchen full of tea.
So, what exciting insanity have I missed?
I also acquired a shiny degree, a cat, and a kitchen full of tea in the last four years, plus a husband! It's been exciting. No master's for me, though. I ran out of sanity and money for that sort of thing.
As for around here, VM covered it pretty well: ups, downs, and in-betweens. Looks like you already heard about Makes-Things coming back—I did that, at the beginning of this here monster of a mission. It was time.
The return of Fritz and Silas and the PPCing of "Cupcakes" was a fairly big deal, too. Are you familiar with that at all?
Oh, and SeaTurtle has breathed life into the Department of Intelligence, which is pretty cool. I recommend checking his stuff out.
I'm sure there are a zillion interesting things I'm missing. ^_^;

My, I do have a lot to catch up on...
Always good to see a familiar... er... string of alphanumeric characters... back on the Board!
hS
And congratulations on your new arrival!
Welcome back. 2008, you say? Whoa. Name's desdendelle, I've been around here for a little less than a year. Here, have a sample of Stygian tea - made from the very best Camelia Sinsesis Carnivorae leaves there are. It's really, extremely bitter, but still really good.
Ooh, tea!
Welcome back, Tomato! It's nice to see an old familiar face around. :D
Cookies and cake and delicious drinks all round!
Are there any NM&NMs? Do we still do those?

I'm glad he's back. I had multiple grieving agents on my hands.
Yep, twas pretty exciting...my first time ever doing online RP, and nothing since has ever quite measured up.
I think I recall seeing you around in 2008? Around the Ypur invasions and stuff? Yeah, good times.
Glad to see you with us again!
Yours is definitely one of the few names I recognize on the Board...so many newbies!
Glad to be back. Hopefully I can get my agents back in order.
Welcome back, Tomato! Good to see you didn't forget the PPC when life caught up to you! ;)
Oh, where're my manners? I'm one of the newer PPCers - KittyNoodles, at your service! -fierce handshake and a huggle-
