Hello Vortex, my one and only true home on this great interweb of ours. I come to you today with a greeting an apology, but I think I shall start with the more pleasant of matters.
I am back, and I plan to stay here until I am once again pried away from the computer due to some unforseen circumstances within my life outside of Vortex; a land where Fortex ceases to be and Alex takes control. I am back for a number of reasons, such as my love of spriting slowly returning and my love of you guys becoming overwhelming (sometimes references to Vortex would spill into conversations I've had with friends in the real world). It seems no matter what I do, I'll always somehow return here until my duty as a moderator is spent and all evil here banished.
Along with this greeting I feel I should offer you an apology ... I have been a royal asshat. I do not speak for the entire moderator staff, though it is no secret that many of us have been lacking in activity. I personally feel like I've let you lot down, and whilst rumaging through the board I came across many posts about how inactive staff are and it cut to the core guys. I hope you accept this apology and know that I really want to make an effort to stay here, but I do believe that the moderators shouldn't be judged to hastily as many (such as myself) have touched upon tough times in their personal lives that well and truly make it damn near impossible to log on and say hello.
I do want you all to know though, I have still been a lurker and you may have noticed that more often than not I am seen in the "online members" section of Vortex. This is because when all else on the internet fails me, I know this place will have something to make me smile.
So, I do not ask you to accept my apology if you don't want to, but please acknowledge that I give a damn about you guys, cause you're my widdle Vortexians and I love you all.
But as for now there is only one thing left to say ...
I'm back, baby.
