Uh hi.
So it's been like six months or something. What'd I miss?
-
Man, 3370 posts! Huh!
-
GRYFF!
What happened to you? There better be an epic tale involved!
-
It's pretty ironic that you need us to summarize the events of the past 6 months, you being the Summarizer and all.
Also, welcome back! But man, the brain slugs are sooooo last year.

There is!

It is my thirst for summarisation that leads me to make such a request? Also, I changed my pic back to the slugs before I posted this so that people would be all "just like old times!" I thought you of all people would appreciate the trip down memory lane, Joe.
GRYFF
WHAT
-
there was a big forum meetup in canada and another big forum meetup in australia and people took exactly one million pictures. it was neat!
now you tell us where you have been. gogogogo
-
What'd I miss?
I've started posting YouTube clips of old soul songs in threads that irk me or mildly irritate me!
-
Dude, you started doing that yesterday:

I think gryff is looking for information about a bit further back than that.

Many creepy newbies.

Gryfford abandoned us all for six months. I, on the other hand, have remained steadfast and loyal.
Who do you trust?
-

Actually, it's times like this that my poor memory really becomes apparent to me. I really have no idea what's happened in the past six months. Try as I might, I can barely remember anything further back than the beginning of July. And I don't just mean stuff that's happened on the forum, I mean anything in my entire life.
*thinks*
oh wait I just remembered I took a trip to San Fransisco; don't remember exactly when that was, but I remember some giant trees.
*wanders off, lost in thought*
-
oh wait now I thought of some forum news. Hey gryff, did you know harry's a mod? I forget if that happened while you were around.
let's see, keiffer's gone now. dan too. oh yeah and ally.
Notice the titles of the forum? jeph keeps screwing around with that.
-
my other joke was something about how joe can't stop living in the past because that would mean acknowledging how old he is but at this point that just kind of seems like shooting fish in a barrel.
-

Is that why the wedding still hasn't happened?
Remember you're engaged, man. ENGAGED!!
-
holy balls, I've been engaged for like two years haven't I? hm, she's away right now; we better discuss a wedding when she gets back.
-
You're gonna have to get that anniversary date tattooed on you somewhere.
-
nah, I'll just add the date to my reminders on ftd. It is really helpful to have their system automatically email me just before important dates.
-
that sounds a bit like cheating.
summary:
-harry has become more awesome
-mr. hocking has become more old and crotchety
-people actually did show up to tronnocon
-there are a lot of new posters that make a lot of lame threads
i am not as good at summarizing as you, gryff.
-
Also the Springboks beat the All Blacks in Dunedin.
(I'm sorry but I've lost track of all the kiwis I knew and it's just been hurting me so bad that I can't rub this in. I hope you'll understand)
-
wow great summary tommy. I didn't know several of those things (who the hell is jen? and damn, I did not know that about kieffer's brother) but bear in mind that I also didn't realize for like 3 months that jon and rachel were dating.
oh yeah gryff, obsessions and pen are dating.
that sounds a bit like cheating.
Well I don't have a secretary to remind me, so what the fuck else am I supposed to do?
-
the first Pointless thread has ended and a new one has just begun
-
CmonMiracle turned out to be someone else.
oh right I forgot about her. She was fake, huh.
the first Pointless thread has ended and we have started a new one
I wonder if switty's pissed?
-
It turned out to be a dude? Or someone posting on a second account? I never heard about that.
-
there is a real jen somewhere and the photos posted in that account really were photos of her. it just turned out someone had been stealing them and pretending to be her.
there is probably more to it but i have been out of the loop as well.
oh, i'm posting again. was i not posting when you left? i don't remember. anyway i'm kind of back now, i think.
-
I 'died' and regenerated into the third Darryl. This one doesn't wear scarves, much to the dismay of my many fans.
-
CmonMiracle turned out to be someone else.

WHAT!
How can i read the bloody forum every day and still miss stuff like that?
-
How can you old people not mention that Johnny's a moderator? Though I suppose that would be obvious from looking at his little avatar box thingy.
-
jen was fake? how did i not know this!? i liked her.... or him... or whoever. do we know who it was?
that was a much better summary than mine, tommy. i even forgot the things that were about me!
-
I think most of us who knew sorta tried to brush the whole thing under the rug because we didn't want to make a spectacle. We have no idea who it was for certain, we have no idea if the persons personality was real or pretend and just the names and faces were a pretense, we have little to no idea why they did it, or if they'll come back.
The most commonly accepted suggestions are that the person was a girl, who wasn't malicious, but also didn't want to be herself and used a false identity. I can understand that, even I was deceitful when I first got this account (emilio and tommy fucked my shit up! jerks!). Of course, it's possible that the person had different reasons for it altogether and was malicious, but I don't feel comfortable making those sort of assumptions. Aside from some feelings of betrayal for the deception, there was no harm done. Except the naked pictures some of us sent will probably come back to haunt us.
Remember folks, we like turkey as it is. Turkey shouldn't try to be ham. Now that's addressed and very little else can be added, let's move on.
Many people tried to be the new Summarizer. Nobody succeeded.

What Lunchy's saying, Gryfford, is that just like an angry cat, she wants to engage you in mortal combat and attempt to rip your throat out with her teeth.
Things have been pretty brutal around here ever since the coup back in March.
-
- We have always been at war with Eurasia
- We have always been at war with Eastasia
Guys I have been away for 4 days and I'm out of the loop.
-
I've been away for five days and it's taken every ounce of my strength not to just lock every thread. It's an impulse!
-

The revolution is merely biding it's time!
-
Keiffer got banned?! Ally's gone?! Jen was a fake?!
.... What'd Keiffer get banned for? It must've been something real good this time.
Things have changed around here huh. I'm glad to see lots of my favourite forumites still posting though. I can't believe you guys kept coming back after I stopped showing up! (Jokes!) Seriously though guys, I checked and there was no "Gryff come back we miss you" thread. What is up.
Oh, also I'm a little disappoionted no one bought powerisers.
Man, I have to go make some leek and potato soup instead of eating chocolate for dinner.
(Slick, I remember you with less hair than that...)
-
It wasn't so much what he did "this time" as what he continually did, ignoring any and all temp bans we tried.
-
I changed my user name from Princy to Jmrz, but I can't remember whether you were around for that either. I disappeared and come back occasionally, get annoyed by crazy new people and disappear again. I am cheating on QC forums with the XKCD forums. That about sums that up really.
-
Gryff came back!
-
Jesus, I didn't hear about Kieffer's brother at all. I met that guy. That guy was a really Good Guy.
And I definitely missed Kieffer getting banned.
God damn why can't really ridiculous things happen to counteract bad stuff happening - I want a summary point to read "And then on Friday it rained squid on the forums and everyone turned out to be eating breakfast at exactly the same time." Something nice and odd and not bad news.
-
Baby, it is totally raining squid on the forums.
Totally.
-
Ewwww.
-
And then a thread like this comes along and I feel so excluded.
-
Wait, Sox is Darryl? As in Spinless Darryl? Since when?
I don't really post any more.
There's a Sydney psuedo meet up thing coming up in February. You should come.
-
If you think you're a creepy newbie, you're probably not. Being a creepy newbie takes a certain lack of self-awareness, leading you to think that you are not creepy, you are subversive and everyone around you is immature and a square.
Remember, some of us are Svens (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,18921.msg619029.html#msg619029), and some of us are Martens.
-
geez you are such a Penelope.
-
Oh and check out the voice thread. You might be pleasantly(?) surprised.
-
Hey Gryff! Welcome back, I was just thinking of you the other day! How have things been, what is new?!
Look at this, the three Kiwis are back in town! How exciting.
It is true as Tommy said, I have moved to the States to be closer to the QCHeadquarters and Love. That is about it really.
-
She could be speaking of Love Park in Philadelphia!
-
Uh hi.
So it's been like another month or something. What'd I miss?
(Hi Kat)
-
ally is back, people are meeting up in chicago as we speak, tommy got another account because 10 000 posts are apparantly too much for him to handle. oh and everyone still talks about how much they miss kieffer.
-
It's actually not half bad up here.
-
Sounds like someone is going to hell.
-
Man, I do miss Keiffer.
-
I mean, I would if I was around more than once a month.
-
Shut the fuck up Jesus
-
How were you gone? You were on irc liek, all the time.
That is all that matters :D
-
Who's Gryph?
-
you guys call that thing a "hash?"
interesting.
-
It is because £ is a pound.
-
oh yeah.
the more you know
-
When I started posting, Gryff was my idol.
Just wanted to share that.
-
There is a certain amount of crossover but not so much any more.
Because those people are odd.
-
There has been a seperate IRC community since the comic began which remains detached from the forums in most instances. There is a certain amount of crossover but not so much any more.
We got the weekly comic forum, I like HURRR, IRC... I think QC needs a few more wholly separate chat communities.
-
Well there's a few people who are on Gabbly who rarely/never post on the forums. Plus it has Kieffer, if you're into that sort of thing.
-
Oh shi-
Too many people with similar and changing names :/
-

i like that kieffer is now a thing that one can be into or not into. what are your hobbies? well, i'm into music nobody else listens to, baking, kieffer, and free running.
-
you guys call that thing a "hash?"
Or "sharp" if you're musical; or "number sign" if you're old enough. What no-one in the world calls it is "octothorpe (http://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-oct1.htm)".
-
Gryff, I haven't done ANYTHING interesting since you've been gone.
Go the hell back away until I have a fun update to tell you about.
-
Did'ja come up with anything yet, Shane?
-
I saw Sigur Ros!
-
Wow, I remember the brain slug thing! They should bring that back.
-
Many creepy newbies.
I resent being called a newbie.
I cannot, however, argue against the creepy bit.
