Oh, I have SO missed you. The shoutbox thing is over some drama that occurred. I did not participate but I did see (thanks much TO the open boxes but I would not have been looking there if not for the log) and there is a question of whether or not to make them all private now. I could still talk to you because we're friend's but there wouldn't be the option of leaving them open to everyone anymore. Some of the...... Possibility's and thing's that were going on really bothered me and I was afraid once the mention of being booted came up that something may happen and it wouldn't have been fair. If something like that would have happened I would not have known to speak up to admin's about the situation since without the shout I wouldn't have known about it if you can follow though I doubt they'd allow something like that to happen without being sure. I don't want my box private only. I'm also concerned about more drama when people don't know what's going on and more availability to cause trouble for those that are still inclined. Whatever. I'm never involved in any of that anyway, lol, but I didn't like seeing it. :-) Many of us are an open pretty friendly group and like to welcome new people and invite them to contact to us whenever I think and that's easier without having to request/wait for friendship and also if you just want to chat a bit before actually adding someone as friend or drop a quick note or whatever. . .
