Yeah, uh, hi.

*dodges projectiles*

I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY I DISAPPEARED.

I swear it. I really, really do. It is a long and very tiring story but it basically deals with me being completely broken by the person I loved and finding another, having a crazy two years and ending up with a beautiful daughter who is now three months old.

Jia, I have a much longer version for you, if you care to read it.

I see Feng Shui kind of sputtered and died. I knew it would happen eventually. I'm sorry to see it go, but that is the nature of things.

I've been positively terrified to post here after dropping off the face of the earth, but I think that you all should know that I regret it. And it wasn't fair to everyone. I'm sorry. Things turned out unexpectedly for me in my real life, and it completely took over me.

But I don't want to stop knowing you guys. Feng Shui is always something I will hold in my heart. It was my baby.

Well. It's three in the morning and the baby will be up soon enough, I'd better get some sleep. I'll check on this in the morning and answer all questions and/or rants.

Miss you guys.

Oh, my, ain't this world a big box o' surprises?

Was kinda since some years ago, when people started to leave, that I was hoping to hear something like that, to what concerns knowing the people that once was here even after the forum's death. Indeed, much of them left in such an absolute fashion that I never heard about 'em again. This is saddening, I'm willing to bet that FS community was very important to the great majority of its past members.

Nonetheless, you shouldn't apologize for what you realize being part of natural cycles. We all got crazy insane things coming and going in our lifes, and because there are the meetings, there too are the partings... natural, as you said. I don't plan to tell you what to expect about FS then and now, much because you were its creator, while I'm just someone that is still stuck to the end. But I mean to say that FS can still be what always was to you (or at least what I think it was in the beginning), a place where you could meet a part of your friends and have fun, or the likes, and not a burden you should carry.

And besides, we aren't really dead as per saying. More like zombified or the likes. I've been meaning to give it some closing threads, and Chamir kinda agreed with me (Lin, Iroh, Zuko, Koi: guys, we are still here), so guess this makes two of us already. Again, I don't mean to tell you what to do and what not, specially about the forum you created, but you can always feel free to drop by and have a word with us, and to try to have a word with those close to you that are not here anymore (we can help on that).

I don't know if what I'm saying is relevant at all (or if I was the one fitting to say it), but I mean it. Congratulations on your daughter, I do bet she is the brightest sunshine. Come and go as you would like, Xia, not only because it is yours from creation, but also because Chamir and I would be very glad to have you, even if just to spend a few "hi~hello" words. Also, that is valid for anyone that is willing to come by and say, "hey, long time no see guys, how you fairing?"

Gettin' too old for this. Startin' to see things...

[Xia Feng]

Hiya Chammy...

I has a daughter.

[chamir]

Intriuging. I'm honestly envious. May she not run you ragged.
