I come from the early days of this website, around 2010. Before having joined this website, I was a part of flipnote hatena during 2008-2009 or so, which was where I started making online friends and began becoming a part of early internet day communities, the internet back then was the wild west and people may not think so - but the internet can still have it's niche places where things are still reminiscent to how things were when the web was just beginning. Growing up there was actually a windows 95 in our house - so even when I was too small to read I was still always in the presence of a computer. When I used this website later on in my childhood, I didn't have a computer anymore but rather just my nintendo DSI - which I still have to this day, the same one I used when I logged on every day to this website. People nowadays wouldn't know who I am, but I used to moderate this website and had many people I considered friends. There was very unfortunate circumstances and things that occurred which caused me to no longer be an active member of this community, but thanks to the kindness of Hullbreach I'm now back, and I want to start using this niche corner of the internet to have yet another space to blog and vomit out my thoughts. It's interesting to me how this website is still active with a new demographic of people. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming. Thank you.
I think I remember you too, Cool. The name is familiar, my mind is sometimes hazy because of trauma I've been through so my memory isn't always all there - but I do remember a Cool, which is you. Thank you for the welcome.
Thank you again, everyone who commented. I'm hoping that everybody on this site is having a good holiday season, for me right now it's one day until Christmas eve. I am having wine!! I will try to stay happy.
I'm Paint's first (and only) democratically elected Overlord, and I'm always glad to see veteran members returning to this website after long absences, as it helps give me hope that Paint's future may one day be even brighter than its past!
It's honestly so warming to have this many people be this openly accepting with people of the past being a bittersweet memory but the road to nostalgia lead me back here and it's not the ghost town that I originally thought it would be.

Yeah, during this past year in particular there's been a (rather impressive) influx of new members joining the site, and once this website's most active member @DCTheGamr makes his triumphant return, you can expect things to become even more active here.
