Moonhawk Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 So we are back! Yayness to the max! I started to think how long it has been and wow it's been ages. I remember when 1.0 I was the only one still on it trying to revive it and the wolf and goddes came back and made 2.0 and we came back so strong for so long. It was my escape room.Then Facebook happened and people didn't find forums as much fun anymore, life happened I had two kids and a demanding retail management job and the rest is history. But we are back and that makes me happy! Thank you @Timberwolf and @hirondelle for making this place again. Love you guys! 5 Quote

Moonhawk Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 Chaos, mayhem, destruction... its bad and it will be a long while before normality will come back. The line alone to get gas is about 5 hours long. Help has begun to come in so that is a plus but the infrastructure was already so bad that this hurricane made it worse. So 95% of the island doesn't have cell service. 98% of the island doesn't have power. A major water dam on the west coast cracked and it failed so they had to evacuate 3 cities around the area. My family and friends are ok but we shall see what happens. Estimated 3-6 months before some areas have power. Some probably a year 1 1 Quote
Kenai Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 holy fuck. I'm glad that out of the chaos, your family and friends made it through. That part must be a huge relief to you. 1 Quote
Ren Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 O Moony I am happy to hear everyone is safe in PR. I hope things improve quickly for all the areas that have been hit. 1 1 Quote

Timberwolf Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 LOL, I think you @Moonhawkfor keeping it alive back in 1.0. I believe you were one of the people that helped bring @hirondelleand I back and start 2.0. Just so you all know, 1.0 was started in 2004!! 1 Quote
hirondelle Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 And 2.0 2005 or 6? We count the blog version as NL3.0 and this is NL4.0. I wanna say that is it we are keeping it forever - fourth and final. But life has a way or making you eat your words, so I will keep my mouth shut. 4 Quote
Kenai Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I'm glad for this so much. Yeah, I followed most of you on facebook but it was just I don't know... personal and impersonal at the same time. 1 Quote
Spyder Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Essentially everybody here predates Northlands 1.0, so if we go back to Fantasy Essentials then that would put us at... yep, we're all old. 3 Quote

Now it takes a fraction of the time. LOL. Quote
Dulcet Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Dude, you must not have had dial-up. I remember lightning fast uploads until 2004. I had dial-up longer than most. 1 Quote
