The Official "I'm going away/coming back!" Thread

Whoa. It's this place. It's been a very long time since I've seen this place.

For those of you who don't know or remember, I made a decision to leave this community back on October 6, 2017. But lately I've been missing this place and I've wanted to come back. So I did. And here I am. I wanted to update you on some things that have been happening in my life in the year I've been gone.

First, I feel like I'm obligated to mention that in the time I've been gone, I now have three people from the internet who want to be my siblings officially, so if you hear me talk about my older brother, my younger brother, or my younger sister, that's who they are. As far as I know, none of them are on here but I've told a couple of them.

Second, myself. I've been doing...meh. My situation at home has been really bad over the past few months and I don't know if people would be okay with me talking about it because it is pretty personal (mods, would one of you tell me where I can talk about my personal life?), but the most I'll say is that I've been suffering with depression since June. I'm also now 16 and I'm a senior in high school. My YouTube career has been stifled by the lack of editing because of two people's failure to get editing software to me and a friend of mine, but hopefully I'll be getting back there soon. If you're interested in subscribing to me for Let's Plays and other stupidity like videos of me using office electronics, just message me and I can send you the link.

I haven't really changed much in a couple ways you might know, like my strange obsession with game shows (which has only increased with my even stranger obsession with Supermarket Sweep) and one other thing I thought to put here but then forgot. I'm sure I'll think of it later. I'm still freakishly tall for my age, or at least it feels that way. I'm just about 6'6" (198.12 cm for you Metric people), give or take. I've also found out that I'm dyslexic, which leads to me coming off as an idiot a lot of times but hopefully I can avoid that.

Finally, and I think some of you might like this...

I am, in fact, openly gay. All those stupid things I said in 2016 are completely moot because instead of being against gayness, I'm part of the gayness. I'm in a relationship with a great guy who lives in England, and I have been since May 31, 2018, which has made me want to make a game someday because of some other things that are happening in my life. Maybe I'll talk about that another time. I was also in two other relationships, one from February to April and the other in early May, but I won't talk about those either or we would be here until next week.

So yeah, that's how I've been. I'm hoping to make a more permanent return starting right now.

Best regards and yeets, JL

PS. I know I'm not saying goodbye to anyone, but I just like signing things.
 
Hope you find your place in the LGBTQ community, Roy.

Also my old landlord hasn't paid WiFi bills and as I don't fancy using up my whole data plan to regularly come here (no offence guys), I'm gonna drop out until its back. The new lettings agents are saying it could be up to two weeks.

EDIT: Fixed much faster than expected. Looks like I won't be gone.
 
Alright guys I think it's time to say goodbye for real.

I'm jaded and tired from the drama and some other things and I think it'd be best to part ways but first I'd like to mention a few things.

Farewell, may you move on to to greener pastures. We will miss you. Here's a song in your honour.

Hey there I'm PrinceLarryKoopa88 (PLK88), rare chance you've heard of me or remember me but I used to be somewhat active here back in I think '16-'17. I got tempbanned from here for like several months, never really bothered coming back but I just had a slight yearn to check out how the forums were doing. So like, whatsup?
 
Welcome back, I haven't heard of you since I joined in March of this year.
