Man I'd totally come back if off-subject was unlocked. H*R is dead, but the memories of the Lower Boards will live on forever.
Not sure how many people remember the Star Wars parody stories. This was maybe early 2005, where someone substituted the usernames of some of the posters (on a discretionary volunteer basis). I was there at the origin of AAAARRRGGGBLBL and "You got served up something fierce".

If we see any more content and any more long time users come back, I'll have to take up my "Bring Back the Off Topic Forum" soap box and poster board. We could seriously bring some life back to this place.
I lurk every so often, and usually after updates. I log on and post probably twice a year. Thing is, what you say may actually have some merit, at least with me. I tend to do best with a smaller, tight-knit community where you know a smaller number of people, more deeply, than a bigger community where you know everyone a little bit. If in a large group of people in a social setting, over time I start to single out one or two people (eventually just one) and have a more one-on-one chat.

I used to hang out here a long time ago, and thought I'd come back and see what things were like. I've loved Homestar Runner since I was like 12, and this was one of my first internet communities. While I'm a little sad that TBC don't really update anymore, and that this place seems pretty empty, it was a lot of good memories and I wanna still hang out here on the off chance that things start happening.
Kind of curious, what was your old username?
As fate had it, two months after your post there was a new Strong Bad Email.
