Well, I don't wonder whether anyone posts here -- this is self-obvious when one presses the "show unread posts since your last visits" button -- but I do wonder, do any DAL alumni still visit these forums? If you do, where are you now? How far have you gone? Has DAL influenced you in any way?
I am a programmer now, the only one in a fairly promising startup, concentrating on web technologies -- javascript, html5, and the like. Alas, not a published writer. I've joined another website, youngwriterssociety.com, where I occasionally post stories and less occasionally critique other people's stories, under the username carbonCore. DAL was the thing that got me writing in the first place, for which I am very thankful. It has given me a way to release all the various darknesses that had plagued me at times -- without that initial push, without DudeMan dragging me over here, and without me getting lost in Gaian, I don't know if I'd be writing as I am today. So, from my heart: thank you, Xorlak, and thank you, everyone who had made DAL the experience that it was. I don't know where you all are now, but I know that in my memory, you will remain forever.
