It has been a while huh? From what I gathered, still seems like you still have some stuff to sort out in your life ^^ Hope everything goes well for you there Maho! Hope you've been doing well too!
Indeed it has been. And yes, sadly life doesn't change that much I'm afraid. You know more than most all the stuff I was going through. It takes time to recover from all that. I was actually really close to overcoming everything several times, but it kept not working out, so I'm trying some new tactics.
So far so good though, so we shall see hmm? How are things on your end? Still working yourself to the bone or have things calmed down?
@Misa
Okay, I look forward to it! ^^
@Mai
Hello Mai. Welcome to the haven. I'm glad you like the pic I chose. I regularly post pics like that here so to be in keeping with the theme of the haven. I also like to have a weather pattern or event of some sort going on. Sort of an RP thing to give the haven a feel and give people something to react to.
I've recently returned after awhile of being away, so the OP will probably be updated soon. Though of course, I'll keep the original pic up.
Speaking of which, let's get some pics out right now yes?

@ShaneYeah, it makes me happy to be able to say it! :D
Unfortunately a lot of the good users left but there's also some real nice new people that have replaced them.

I hope everything will turn out for the better and that things will go smoothly for you with whatever you're trying to do now... If you ever need anything or anyone to talk to, know that I can still help you with that!
Eh, things are still hectic, even more so than before rather. Being super busy with work now that lots of things have changed and since I've started being more serious on the piano, I don't have much free time for anything else ahah ^^U

That's a great video! I've always felt those older songs have a kinda style all of their own, so that song is one I've heard many times. But that little ghost adds so much character of her own that it felt like hearing it for the first time again. She's awfully cute, what with all those facials expressions. Is she from a little story?
as far as I know, its just a standalone animation so no story there
PS orry for the late reply, been really preoccupied lately

                        So I know it's kind of a strange hour for me to posting. Usually I'm trying to sleep at this hour. But I fell asleep too early by mistake and now even if I wanted to go back to bed I can't. I gotta at least be up for a awhile longer so I can get some stuff done around the house. Anyhow, I thought I'd hop on and put some activity into F! while I wait for other people to wake up.
On that note..
Now on to responses!
Yeah, it makes me happy to be able to say it! :D

Yeah, I gathered that. I've seen a drop in the activity here. It's not as busy as I was used to before. That's sad. I'm sure the forum bugs don't help on that front either. Though I will admit this place not being as busy is better for me atm, because I can't be as active as I used to be yet.
That said, it's good to see so many firmilar faces in this thread. I'm glad you guys are still here and that we're still getting some new friendly users to the forums as well. It keeps F! active as a whole, which is good cuz this place is important to me. ^^
@Rise
You mean because it's not as active? Or just what Shane mentioned.. that many users left?
@Neo
Wha?! M..More busy? But Neo.. how the heck is that possible? You were burning the candle at both ends last time we spoke. Didn't I tell you to take it easier? *sigh* You never were very good at slowing down. I guess I knew that would be your answer.. and I know how life goes. But more busy.. *shakes head* you already were more busy than is healthy! Just be careful okay?
As for your support, thank you. It means a lot to me, though I'm sure you already know that. I'll take that luck and any more you have to spare. xD My life may be getting better, but we both know how fast things can unwind. Till I am done with this, I'll still need plenty of luck.
@Uii-chan (just in case you go by that name now)
I saw a comment you made somewhere saying you couldn't change you avi. Is this a bug on F! or did they make it so you can only change avi's once in awhile now?
@Melly
It's okay, it seems like everyone is busier these days. I'm just happy to see you. Dang it though.. I was really hoping you'd say there was a manga she was from or something. She seems really charming. I wouldn't mind seeing more. If only I was better at fan fiction... lol
                On that note..
NOTICE:
[size=14]As I mentioned to Mai above, I'm gonna be updating the OP soon. A lot of forum data has been lost since this thread began and some of the links are dead, so I thought it might be time to clean it up.
While I figure out all that needs done to bring it back to what it needs to be, I thought I'd put a notice out to all of you. If you want to be linked as a resident of the haven or to have a new title approved now is perfect time to say so. If your unsure, that's okay too. I know in the past many of you were unlisted residents.
Speaking of which, hi Rui! I know your listed as a resident already, but clearly you have a different user name now. Do you want me to update your spot to the new name?
Also if you guys have any suggestions let me know. Specifically I'm looking for feedback on some of the haven's features, though ANY suggestion is fine. What's your favorite location in the haven? Do we need more of them? Better descriptions? How about the weather? Do you enjoy the random weather or could it be better? etc etc..
Know that my plan for a banner or button you can add to your sig for this place has not gone away either. I still plan on getting some made. I just hope they will look decent. If I have to I'll make them myself, but I'm no artist, so if I do it I'm worried they'll look really tacky. lol[/h]

well, exam period is upon us, and the gods threw the sequel of Danganronpa right at my face, which filled my evenings.
as for the video, it seems the whole thing was just a video someone made using music and such. As far as I know the ghost is from no source.
but I think its from the same guys as this (whichiscute as hell)

mmm they still need better coders here.
The only way I'll leave is if I find somewhere else to go. Which I currently haven't.

Yeah I understand that. Hopefully we'll never have to leave it. I know it seems possessive, but this place is unique. Even if the community could be rebuilt some place else it would never be the same.
@Melly
omg, I like that one too! My little brother was mostly blind when he was little, so when I was younger we spent some time with the NFB, an organization for blind people that teaches them and their families how to function. You know, look out for objects and people. So that vid has special meaning to me. I love how she turns it into this make believe land. That's super neat.

That's how life is for me... Add stress, frustration and tiredness to my daily life. To keep things short, we had a huge change in our firm and I'm pretty much the only one who can work on projects. That with incompetent people makes it even harder on me...
At least, my heart is somewhat better now, getting a tad less spasm attacks, still have some endurance problem though ahah ^^U At least, overall, it's better.
Haha, take as much as you want Maho =V I know what you've been through and hope things will get better asap! I understand how it feels to have so many things unfolding at the same time, it's overwhelming ahah... Hope everything calms down for the both of us!
As for the avi, I think you can use the old method by cropping your avi to the right size and upload it. It might take a few tries, but that's how I got mine to change.

so how have things been?
