I've not heard from any of you in so long. I was hacked, as many of you know, a long while back. Many of my friends were removed, I think randomly, and I was unable to find those friends again. Don't even worry about what else I lost. With time, I got it all back and then some. No one can keep me down but myself emotion_dealwithit
My own actions have lead to me losing even more friends. I've always been a recluse and I withdrew even further away because of how my life was going.
From the time that I met you all, I've changed so much, I'm not even the same person and I am sure you all have changed as well.
But I just wanted to say that I was grateful for your friendship in the past and to know that you cared. I was going through the roughest time in my life when we all met and I am sorry for whatever negative impact I may have had on your lives. I hope it was mostly positive. I did my best to be nice and positive with you guys.
But ya, thanks for putting up with my s**t. You were amazing friends and to see that this guild, though inactive, is still around.. it makes me happy. I never thought I'd be a vice captain of it..
Whoever is reading this, if you knew me years ago, I'm sorry for frequently disappearing and I thank you for your time. I am most appreciative.
Thank you again.

Hey man,
I've arrived two years too late but I'm gonna post anyway.
I'm 22 now, and back when I used to use Gaia I think I was about 15 perhaps. It's so bizarre. It makes me wonder how many corners of the internet were once hives of activity but have now fallen into disuse. Like this guild, for example. All these posts are monuments of our past activity.
At first I was embarrassed that I went on to gaia so much - I think we're all recluses to some degree, Tadashiini. But to be honest, why should I be embarrassed that it was wonderful people keeping me here? We're real people behind these screens.
In my time in Gaia, I've met some of the most interesting and genuine people I've ever met. Heck, some of you might even be some of the most genuine and interesting people I will EVER meet. I would probably go as far to say that some of my experiences here have shaped my life.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure what made me log on today. Maybe breaking up with my girlfriend two hours ago had something to do with it, but that's a story for another day. Whatever the reason, it also makes me happy to see this still here too. Towering monuments indeed. I can't believe I became the leader. I suppose I didn't do much leading, you guys were very much an important part of it as I was.
It's funny, reading "whoever is reading this". It's like now we're just letting loose messages in bottles, releasing these posts into the ether, for whoever, if ever, anyone reads them.
Back then we all used to use aliases, and putting your identity on the internet was a big deal. Now we're just a drop in an ocean.
My name is Shaun Herrington. I'm from the UK. I was born in Leeds but I currently live in Bath. I have no plans for the future. At the time of writing this message, there are currently seven billion people on this Earth. The chances of us ever encountering each other in the real world are pretty slim. Not impossible though.
I too would like to say thank you. Thank you for being my friends, guys. To those of you I don't miraculously meet, I hope you all have wonderful lives.
Peace out~

But you found it - the message in the vast ocean of the internet. Here, in this dark little corner we've built for ourselves but since neglected to return to.
You remembered our friendship and you returned to a place that you felt was home.
That's what life is all about. Living. Learning. Growing. Remembering.
I am Justin Hammond-Schillereff and I am 27 years old. I am currently living in Novato, California and I have been traveling for most of my life. I managed to spend my time on the road here.. with you. I hope that means something because it meant everything to me.
During my travels, I met a girl HERE of all places. We met in towns and we began talking. We are now married and living together. What started out as a fleeting romance became a life-bond partnership. She is my best friend. My whole world. If anything is to happen to this most beautiful moment in my life, at least I can look back on it and be happy that it ever happened to me.
Honestly, I had my doubts, in the beginning. Obviously. Our families would constantly harass us - telling us things like "what if they're a murderer" and "it will never happen".. but here we are. Together in the same room, wearing the same rings, feeling the same love, living the same life. At last.
I never thought I'd ever find someone.
Bro, even though you come back at a dark time.. there is always a light. Always.
Thanks for being there.
