I'll be back. I have to come back to release my project.
Cool to hear. :D I just mean there are really people who left and never returned D:. I think the problem back in the days, though, is that the community was less active so people got less feedback on their work, thus, remained interested for a shorter amount of time, not to mention  most people thought everything was accomplished. I think now Axe Parser helped a lot, same for Ndless.

If it wasn't for comp programming I probably would end up leaving. I mainly am for comp even though I do a little calc and android work

Yeah I think it was a bit a good idea to expand the computer sections. I never did beforehand because almost nobody were interested in computer development here before. It's good to have a diversified userbase. Back then, when  people quitted calcs, they left, even if we had computer sections. I think what also helps now is the group of people here in general. I don't know for you and other, but this group sometimes feels like some sort of family, even though it's a friggin huge group.

It does feel like a very close group, but not family(I not very close to my family and am very argumentative with them). the thing is the close group is only the very active members while the ones with little posts are unknown. I'm pretty sure the group feeling is a big reason why people stay

Oh I meant family as in close group of user, not literally. I mean, on some forums everyone does their own little thing and hardly care about each others. On some others, there are usually 2-3 people being together, another group of 3-4 together and the rest just come and go. We get a lot of people who aren't very active and aren't as part of the group yet, but we got plenty of people who are close and seem to have fun losing the game with each others.

Yeah thats what we are is a very close group of people who gladly let others join our group.
I think the introduction board is one of the main reasons we become so tight knit. It allows people to find an easy place to begun known and enter the group
and yes we do have much fun losing the game together

Thats sad I hope omni doesn't fall apart in  my absence ;)
Nah, I'm sure Omni will remain quite active this summer despite various members vacationing/ going on trips etc. =)

You mean omni does not depend on my being here to survive ;)
I hope it stays active. I'll contribute when and if I can
