Heh, it's been like 3 or 4 years since I was last here, but Frank linked me to this thread so whatever.

I can fully agree with you Tiger, without RND and all you guys that I knew back then my early teenage years would've been much worse than they already were, and while I left in not-so-good taste I guess, I still think about this community and all the great people I met here from time to time.

I'd write a full tl;dr post but after all these years I wouldn't even know where to start so w/e - except that I'd be totally up to play some L4D2 with anyone that wants to, even if it's at like 2 AM for me.

Funny enough I was just thinking about you today, even though we never really talked or anything lol. Perhaps it's a bit strange, but I often go back and think about all the members we used to have, whether or not I knew them or not. You were pretty active at the time I joined up.

It's nice of you stop in and say hello again to the community though. Good to see you, hope you are doing well. I know the guys in TS3 are always down for L4D if they get enough people so I am sure you wouldn't have any objections.

This was all extremely hard for me to read.

As Marie stated it's honestly bitter sweet to read this as my mind gets an overflow of memories, feelings and a wanting for the past
but when don't I want that?

Honestly I do not know what to say there is so much to say that I am just.. speechless

Basically I have been on here for 7 years and this community defined my Middle school and half of high school life. All of you are family to me and it really sucks that people leave and have lives to live.
and have lives to live.

ugh

Basically,

rNd has really defined what I did in most of my free time around my middle school and high school years. I have to owe it to coolz. He's created something great for people to play in and mingle and anybody can join in on the fun whether you're in New York, Mexico, or Antarctica. I also have to owe it to the community members. They're the ornaments on the Christmas Tree and they've made my experience here very memorable. From building ridiculous forts with Ageis Cade kits in ZS to building life changing contraptions in Wirebuild, to hearing all the stuff that goes around and comes around in TS3, it was awesome being involved in all these activities with a gathering of friends that wanted to have fun. I can't say thank you enough. Maybe I'll pay someone to skywrite a Thank You note lol. But in all seriousness, it's been a fun adventure and I'll still do my best to participate in any future events that happen if it means to have more fun with you guys. Thank you -Santiago C.

I always pop up randomly every year or couple months or so to remind people that I still want ZS back, and I didn't know or talk to much of you back when all the servers were still up and my alias was gateofoblivion, gate aegis, gate (the human aegis). But I miss it so much man, after all these years and having grown up I still constantly think about the good times I had with you guys and how much fun it was, back then in middle school times were really hard and I had no friends with a computer worse than a potato and these servers provided me a place to go to just have fun and get away from everything. The nostalgia I get from thinking back to the old times are something that hasn't been replicated since, the fact how zombie survival wasn't just a fun game mode it truly felt like a home for everyone where everybody knew each other and enjoyed playing with each other, where anywhere else I go to now it does not feel right or quite like home. And it saddens me when I had to take a break because I had no PC to come back to find RND servers were gone and I feel like everyone moved on without me in a sense while I still cling to the good 'ol glory days of zombie survival but maybe it's time to just embrace the good times that were had and accept that what I want is no longer possible.

With that being said I want to thank the RND community for making it what it is today and thank you coolzeldad for conceptualizing an idea for a community and seeing it through and providing all the servers. And though many people have come and go and it's been many years, I think it's absolutely amazing this forum is still active and all of you still talk to each other which with a place as big as the internet and long after the servers are gone I think make this community something truly special.

I would say something really heartwarming and long but all I can think of is that zs and ttt was pretty fun.

[TehHank]

Ill just be repeating what everyone else said. The only regret was that i wished i lived in an American Timezone to experience more shit.

[GingerSlush]

Holy shit, Santiago linked me this thread and I just got flooded with memories from 2011-2013. It feels so long ago. I'm sorry that I've really been dead since then... but hey, don't be afraid to message me to play something. I miss playing with the community in general. c:
