Just stopping by to say hi

[brettybluevein]

Guys and girls,

I know it's been so long since I visited and a lot of you probably don't know or remember me, but I just wanted to drop  by and say hi to all the folks here at vgcollect. Still to this day I would rank this as the friendliest gaming community I've ever run across. Everyone was supportive of everyone and no one looked upon each others' finds with jealousy, just mutual admiration. Between work, traveling for work, and pinball, I've been a ghost around here. But I hope you're all doing really well and growing your collections with all the things you love so much.

Personally, my collection has shifted to basically Neo Geo items and new pinball machines, but the random Sega CD or Saturn game still sneaks into my collection if I can find it.

If you recognize me, I'd love to hear what the "core" crew is up to, as well as I'd love to hear from newer members and what they think of the site that reignited my love for collecting.

Good luck and happy hunting!

-Brett

Fairly new guy here and I love this site. Most gamer forums are full of pricks. This one is nice and friendly. No drama, no bs. Everyone respects each other.... I hope to be here for a long time.

Hello! Glad to see you back on the site Brett!

There's all my old friends! Is Matt around much anymore? What about Scott?

[amauriel]

Hiya Brett! I also took a pretty ridiculous hiatus from this site, but a couple persuasive people convinced me to come back in and say hi a lot more often.

Yes, it's still an awesome group around here.

Without a doubt, nicest forum members I have "met."  Everyone here is really pretty cordial and come here because we love collecting games.  I'm not a member of other forums except the official PlayStation one, but I get so sick of seeing the Xbox vs PlayStation fanboy nonsense on sites like N4G.  I guess that's why I never joined them.

Yup Matt and Scott are both still around here quite a bit.  Are you planning on sticking around and being active on the forums again soon?

Well I certainly hope to get back  in that rhythm. I've just been traveling pretty consistently since last September so it's been tough to get into a normal laid back routine where I can just enjoy my games and have time to talk about them. Most weekends home were spent playing pinball or having a quick game of Destiny with friends, but work is slowing and it will surely give me more free time.

No pressure; we've all had our times that we come and go from the site in terms of frequency, but we'll be here to welcome you when you have a chance to stop by
