When I signed on to SG for the first time, this was a very different place. Ginebra, a Suicide Girl from South America, was my first site friend and welcomed me here. I was put into the new members group, and met a large quantity of new and fascinating people. My presence here grew, and so did my relationships with my new SG friends.
When the site format changed, there was a time I couldn't access the site (primarily being a phone Internet person with a series of incompatible phones). After a long time away, I came back, only to find so many of the people I used to communicate with are gone.
Most of my friends here (reduced to 'Followers' and 'Following' by the site change) have left, and though their pages yet remain, they are dead places that have seen no life in a very long time. A few I see are still active, but it's generally the same five people on my thread over and over.
All around is verdant life, a flurry of activity that has adapted to the catastrophic extinction wrought by the site change, growing into the lost spaces to fertilize them anew, but my page here is, more-or-less, a dead place filled with the bones of the past (and I was a late arrival).
I would like to become active here again. I enjoyed the time when I communicated regularly with other SG members, shared thoughts, ideas, humor, flirts, and other joys. I would like more of that once more, rather than just the sporadic like when I shoot my thoughts into the void.
Ultimately, I guess I need to start hunting intriguing people down to talk to and start from the beginning once more. I am, more-or-less, a new member again.
