Should have posted this when @"black king"  first mentioned it. Braced myself real hard and went back into my MGSF PMs. A big thanks to that absolute gangster @"Gene" because his original designs for the LRA graphics are still up on his Photobucket.

Nice TSF sig.

Also, I could hug you for that LRA button. Added to my collection. But I wouldn't lose hope on the old GRU button yet. Have to be persistant because I could also hug @"Gene" because in the FH recruitment thread I finally found it:

By the way, I scavenged some old signatures from you guys if you want a trip down memory lane. @"Dirty Duck" @"Null" @"Cardboard Jesus" @"Departed"

There are loads of these still up in the threads!

I should really rep one of the most wanted ones, FH's torch for me never went out after I left even when I became less active ❤️. For all my time on the forum in different groups I feel like helping start this and the podcast up at FH was my only real productive point.

My God, I'd forgotten about that. Good thing Otacon Hal wasn't around for that or the forums would have been fluffy for real.

FOUND IT.



And a decade-in-the-making apology to @"black king", in 2013 you asked me if I still had it and I said I did not. I so did.

Also went on a dig and found the image we sourced our avatars from @"Kestrel" the nostalgia I have rn is so sharp. Kinda want to switch back to it but idk if it's in good taste in our day and age.

I do have some emoticons...

I don't ever remember being in Shadow Moses. As I kept going through the years apparently I was a part of Diamond Dogs, too? Whatever happened to GRU? I abandoned it? I couldn't have.
That whole era is pretty fuzzy for me, probably some kind of trauma blocking. Does anyone remember what the org scene was looking like in 2016?
