I didn't even notice the website had changed until you all started talking about it. It looks the same to me. Of course, it's possible that that's just because I don't care what the place looks like, as long as I can still worldhop. It does make me wonder if this is the reason we haven't had a virus in a while, though. If that's the case, then I'm glad for the change.

Outside of my training, I've been spending most of my time in New Jersey, because I'm fairly certain that Lisa is the only thing in my life that actually makes sense. I've been thinking about how I'm glad that she isn't on the community anymore, which had made me consider the various things that can happen to people once they leave this place. Perhaps someone should start researching that, too see if any patterns can be found.

Who do you know that has left, and what happened to them?

...Haruto Hojo, and I don't know.

[hippie_hacker]

Are you referring to those who left over the years or because of the sudden move?

[embersandashes]

So they were cut off.

[embersandashes]

The first. The community has kicked people off because of the move? Who?

[unknownrival]

He was,

[hippie_hacker]

....I prefer not to think of those who originally left.

We're not sure if it did or not. It's been voiced though.

[embersandashes]

I see. That's not as common a thing to happen, from what I've seen. More people are still reachable by worldhop, even if they forget.

[embersandashes]

Why not?

Where?

[unknownrival]

I've tried that without success.

[embersandashes]

I assumed you would have, if this was someone you were close to. How long ago was it that they were taken?

[unknownrival]

Over a year now.

[embersandashes]

Ah. That's probably why I don't remember them.

[unknownrival]

My boyfriend of a year?

[embersandashes]

Yes. The name doesn't sound familiar, so I probably only met him once or twice, if that.

[unknownrival]

Your circle of people you bother to remember is rather small.

[embersandashes]

Not really. I remember a lot of people-- just only the ones I've spoken to.

Me not remembering someone is a silly thing to get upset about when I've been here for nearly four years. I could name people that I knew well that you probably never talked with.

[notasinglelady]

Lisa never forgot about the comm? Because Blaine did as soon as he lost access to the place.

[embersandashes]

I wouldn't be sitting around posting and acting normal if she had.

[redheadcarrier]

Jet. Virginia.

_{[Hmmph. Azula's been here longer than her, but it's been almost four years for Asuka.]}

A lot of people. Who cares what happened to them?

[embersandashes]

It depends on who they are.

[redheadcarrier]

They're gone. That's all that matters, right?

[embersandashes]

Again, it depends. I'm not going to pretend I care that people I barely knew have forgotten about this place, but if someone I loved disappeared, it would be a different story.

[redheadcarrier]

Since when do you care about people? I thought you were some sort of ice-queen.

_{[Guess who pays no attention to most posts on the community? This girl!]}

[embersandashes]

I have those that I love.

[redheadcarrier]

Alright, fine. There aren't that many people I actually miss from this stupid place.

I probably wouldn't mind if the only stupid thing vanished on me tomorrow.
