In Arizona we have ghost towns that get more traffic than these boards get.

It's unbelievable. I can go away and check in two months later and find the same few posters conversing.

All things come and go, and everytime I come back here it depresses me. I keep remembering the action, the give and take, the FUN. Boards that would change with new posts as you watch them and were composing one of your own.

I know..I know...old news.

It's okay. It's 2010 now. The HZ is almost a decade old. I haven't been to MSNBC in years it seems either. Old places. old times, nothing stays the same and yes, you can't ever go home again.

Here's a final SDAI style post...

"Gary! Larry! Ilya! Mary Anne!

You were right.

Ilya...you were right.

The time has passed.

The Zone is not the same any more.

No place for the posts of times past.

Forgive me, my old friends.

Take me!

Take....... me

Take....m....e.......e...............e...........................e......
