 I shall follow your advice, Dommy-wan Kinobi. (You better get the Star Wars reference.)
 So, how've you been? I ain't seen you in AGES man; I miss seein' you around. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 21:19, 13 November 2009 (EST)
+== You responded! ...But then again, so am I. ==
+It was definitely nice to see you respond to my message; I was worried I wouldn't see a reply for another six months. :P
+It sounds like your year has been pretty busy! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time in school, and that it's even harder because you're having trouble staying awake. (That almost reminds me of how I was in 10th grade &mdash; I almost flunked math because I was so tired.) Your Wii ''broke''? Jeez, man...that sucks eggs. It sucks when you unexpectedly lose a game system (or a memory card) and lose all your game data. :[ Philosophy, eh? I had to take so weird courses on that this year; they didn't really make much sense, but I managed to ace them. Seems like quite a few of my friends are <s>becoming emo</s>having a hard way to go in life. Well, there's only one way to look at it: things'll get better. (I'm living proof of that, lol.)
+My year's been quite hectic too. I think you were aware of my situation in February, but I didn't talk to you after then for a long time. In March, my family found a town in New Mexico that we lived in for a while. Things were working out pretty well; my dad got a job, I got a job (on my birthday, nonetheless!), I got to start my college courses back up, and we were generally happy. ...But then, the job (which my dad and I both worked at) started ''driving us into the ground''. Rather than working 3 days a week, like I was supposed to, I wound up working ''6'' days a week. (Which was anywhere between 48 and 65 hours, depending on how much overtime I got.) My dad put in almost as many hours too; to make matters worse, we weren't getting anywhere. We were still living in a lodge and were unable to afford our own home because pretty much all of our money went to rent and food. We eventually left New Mexico and moved back to Colorado in September, where I'm currently at now. Things are looking up right now; I finished my college finals (I'll be taking sophomore courses in a few months!), my dad's got a job, I'm developing an RPG (look [http://userpedia.adriels.com/Tale_of_a_Dissolving_Spirit here] and [http://solcon.wikkii.com/xephyr/index.php?topic=2132.0 here] for more info; I'm using your sprites in the game, if that's okay), and stuff like that. So, things DO get better...it just takes time.
+The wiki has definitely improved since you were last here. The site hit rock-bottom between April and June. In April, my Gmail account was hacked by a couple of well-known trolls; this led to them finding out most of my passwords. The main troll took over my accounts on the MW Forums, Userpedia, Userpedia Forums, and also took over my chatroom nicks. It took a couple of days to get control over everything again, but during that time, hell broke lose. The MarioWiki Forums were nearly destroyed (and would have been completely gone, if not for Porple reverting the server), the chatroom had a hard way to go with me being impersonated, yadayadayada. The trolls were eventually stopped &mdash; one of them (whom I knew in real life) was arrested and sent to prison for several years &mdash; and the wiki starting recovering. We got more activity, more competent members joined, I was given control over Userpedia, and a bunch of other stuff happened. Overall, the wiki is pretty close to where it was at around the beginning of 2008, so everything's pretty good. It sure would be great if you would return, though. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 21:32, 14 November 2009 (EST)
