All,

It's been quite a while since I've been here: perhaps two years or so. I used to be the Moderator for the JavaScript section for those that recall. Indeed, I faded out from this place rather slowly and then just stopped visiting. However, that is not to say that my interest for Web Standards (W3C) & Accessibility (WCAG), among other Web- and technology-related things have diminished. Quite far from it, in fact, although I have expanded my horizons and have gotten into Sports Nutrition and related subjects which have taken a lot of my time away from focusing on Web-related things. Outside of that, a lot of things have changed in my life over the past couple years as they sometimes do, and as we all know life can just "get in the way" sometimes. It was more than that even, however... I felt this industry was getting far too repetitive and in a way, stagnant. Hopefully, this has changed since I've been gone.

In any case, all this really translates to, is that I want to let everyone know how I am doing and that I genuinely miss the people and this place around here. I miss being focused on Web & Software Development, as this is where I feel I belong and what I want to do with my life (re: for a living).

I look forward to helping out around here and getting back into the community. It's just been too long.

Hopefully some of my "old-time" friends are still here: Vladdy, Buntine, Ryan, Jeff, PeOfEo, Robert, et. al... and anyone else I may have forgot.


Best Regards,
Fred V.

Welcome back man. I kind of know what you mean about life getting in the way, I haven't been posting much for the past few months. Been a bit of a lurker, reading threads and moderating. Need to be a bit more vocal around here. ;)

Good to see you back :D

Hey Fred!

I, too, just returned after about 15 months of non-activity here at the forums. It actually feels great to return and start helping out again!

I look forward to "working" with you again. :)

Andrew Buntine.

Hehe. Welcome back, Fred. It's always good to see the return of one of the more helpful regulars. ;)

I kind of know what you mean about life getting in the way, I haven't been posting much for the past few months. Been a bit of a lurker, reading threads and moderating.

Same here. I don't really have much time to actually post these days, just enforce the word of our gracious leaders. Perhaps one day I'll find a few spare minutes to rub together.

I'm hardly a (EDIT: qualified/deserving) member of that aforementioned club, but I've been poking around these parts a bit more, as well. Now if I can get off my lazy arse and actually contribute, then that would be something worth mention...

Yeah. Your spamming was the reason posts in the Coffee Lounge don't count towards your total post count any more.:p
