Just a li'l hi-de-hi & good to be back ;)

machadinha · Sep 25th, 2006, 08:14

Hey folks, just figured I'd give you the hello's now that I'm back (oh nooo!!!... I hear some screaming).

Sorry for long farewell, needed to get some online business in order.

How's everyone been? Behaving I trust

Currently setting up 2 separate systems which left some time for lurking lately. Seems there's been some changes -- IndiaMike's retired or what is that? Nick is the new main man? Shimla -- is he around? Not to mention the other X,000 dear goofs that I've missed of course.

There's some PM's I've not been able to respond to (notably IJ -- meet up!! --, 2Cents, and some new arrivals) -- I've not forgotten friends, have it in me to respond asap. (And knock on wood -- with this little announcement I trust my whole setup will break down again. Karma y'know.)

Anyways -- here's a good one & big-up.

Mach, good to have you back once again! Missed your humour while you were away.

Nick-H · Sep 25th, 2006, 11:15

Welcome Back!

No... Nick is not at all the 'main man' --- though sometimes I feel like the 'front man'.

IndiaMike.com was rescued from the flames by Nadreg: he's the boss now.

Shimla hasn't been around for a while, but we hear he is busy with something and expect him back.

Yes, so tell me all the dirty bits, in private if you will

Been peeking through the archives but found little of what's happened. Checking out Nadreg's own page should be my next step I guess.

Anyways, happy to see the forum's still rolling. Too bad about IM signing off, but I guess we had it coming. & What a forum he's built too! I was expecting something like a farewell party thread at the very least but nothing of the sorts?! What about M2 btw, no recent posts either? *sigh*

I'm sure I'll pick up again. Cheerio.

I missed the entire thing! I was in UK for much of March-May, with no internet access other than occasionally checking e-mail.

I'm kind-of glad I missed it; it means I can just get on with IM just like I always did without any of that getting in the way.

A few people are not here any longer ...but many, many are. Steven and Rab are still on the Mod team, so we have continuity as well as a fresh start; a good combination.

Tot ziens.

Hello machadhina, nice to see you again! :-)

machadinha · Sep 25th, 2006, 23:05

Cheers folks, happy to have not lost "the family." I've been hearing some of what went on, was completely oblivious to it. Real shame. Glad the whole thing didn't go up into thin air. Seems like there's some more reading up to do!

Indojingai: being away from keyboard for so long made me feel like a bad friend. Let's make up for it. First some more comp. installing to do before I trust it's steady though, plus a short trip to Spain pending! Woohoo! Has the city been good to you in the meantime then? It better have (or else).

Anyway, thanks for welcomes. It's a special place it is (IndiaMike that is).

Tally ho.
