Wowow this is different.

Not sure I'll ever get over my nostalgia for the pre-reddit days of internet forums, but I guess it's nice to be back on an active site. Maybe I'll keep up with more broodwar stuff as a result.

I'm on my way home from a meetup with LD and LD-adjacent people that iv met over the years. My 30th birthday was on June 15th and we started planning a trip to Corfu, Greece with a bunch of the homies back in February. I thought it was pretty auspicious that LD reintegrated with team liquid on my 30th birthday!

We weren't expecting this trip to be the last LD meetup, but it turned out to be a really extraordinary one. This community has been pretty important to me over the years, and I'm very grateful to all of you for being a part of it for so long! This certainly won't be the last meetup for this thread, and I hope to keep expanding them over time. I think it's very rare to find a community forum where people can meetup in large groups and have everyone get along well. That says a lot about the quality of the people who frequent ootgd. Thank you all for being a part of it for so long

I wanted to share some pictures we took, and I look forward to sending out more invites for the next meetup in a year or so

Hopefully the pics load lol, if not I'll fix them when I arrive home. Thank you all for being a part of the community for so long ♥️

Huge thanks to all of the absolute mensches that iv met in this thread over the years, and I look forward to meeting more of you wonderful folks in time

I like discord/Reddit, they have their place but they’re really awful for discussion most of the time. Like Reddit is designed for sharing content not discussion. Discussions can’t build over time because the thread is dead 2 days later and then you have to redo the whole discussion all over again if someone wants to bring it up.
