Extra points for people who remember me.
Hey aren't you that guy who registered the 20,000th and 30,000th usernames on here. Or are you Fontaine. Or are you just pieces of a dream I once had. Where am I? It's cold and I want to go home.
Oh I remember you.
It happens. In fact, I think it's going to happen right now.
I remember you, but you might not remember me. I'm more of a background kind of guy and then suddenly -BOOM- comment
You're a fountain or something right ? :P
ALSO Evil Jim.. never forget!!
But seriously, i won't leave the site completely at all (I'll always be on IRC), but I will have brief periods of time where I don't comment or read most stuff
I was wondering where you went, actually.

Ronnie Wokmang is in each and every one of us. She's not a person, but an idea that will live on through generations to come.
I remembers! Hey, six months ago I wasn't an editor either I was just a Cowzilla. You're always welcome back though, any time.
I remember you! I was wondering where you went.
Dude, come back...
Welcome back. Honestly, you were missed.
There was Bioshock news, and the comments felt... incomplete!
Welcome back yos! Dtoid changes the guard every few months or so. It is harsh to see all those old regulars fade into the sunset. :( Like you, some folk just start growing out of games. Still, it's something to have been around the site for 3 years huh? Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
EVIL JIM STERLING > RON WORKMAN
I member yoooo
Remembering you is something I can do.
I remember you Fontaine.. the question is, DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
Holy shit Atlus sighting
Nothing directly against workman, but I have to agree with alex.
Hi Atlas!
Its true that people come and go, both readers and staff. I want to keep everyone forever but that's just the nature of online.
When you're in the mood we're always here, and every time you come back there will be something new and a little different. We hope that when you do come back you'll find quality people on here (we're lucky to attract them somehow) and find editorial that's worth your time. That's the best we can hope to do!
Atlas is Fontaine.
Atlas! Welcome back man. I spent six months away from here too a little while ago, though it wasn't of my own volition.
I still have you on my friends list. Welcome back!
Who doesn't remember? Let's celebrate!
Atlas is Fontaine
We all miss Rob Summa. It's okay. I mean Destructoid provides a place to yell about video games and piss in the wind, thinking you too can be a gaming journalist. Living that dream of quitting retail and doing hip things like retro video game podcasts or going out on boats to promote Godfather video games.
One major problem is that every other week the navigation of the site changes. It takes me a few minutes to figure out how to actually post something. And when I do, I've usually lost all motivation to post it. The realization that no one cares about an actual thought or opinion, but photographs of drunk people playing games or stuff you just find on the internet, that's what everyone likes to see.
Also would you kindly play video games all the time? I've played games everyday for the last two years. I can't think of a recent day I didn't play something at some point. I've got it bad. But the knowledge the Niero has it worse than me makes me happy. He, the founder of a site, commenting on some silly thing I had to say about not having time to play Nintendos. And sure enough on this post criticizing his website, right there he is. It's like he gives a shit about his website people.
You, I remember you, come back and join us.
Like you, I have actually been here for years. I've been lurking here for quite some time back when Robert Summa, Faith Naked, and .Tiff where the heavy hitters. The site has grown by leaps and bounds since then and I can say that made me worried at first. I didnt want the site to grow into a Gamespot or IGN or lose focus and start being a media hub site. I wanted it to be raw naked games. I want to know what sucks, who sucks, and why it/they suck. DTOID has managed to do that and still grow. The people here are always amazing and while I am usually too busy to actually play games, I get to come to this amazing site to continue learning and stay on the edge of gaming.
So go, live your life, we all have things going on, but know that you are always wanted back.
I'm pretty sure getting burnt out on stuff happens to everyone at least once. Sometimes it's only a month or two, sometimes for large chunks of a year, or years at a time. Tastes change with different experiences.
I remember you, Atlas. You are awesome, and I missed you.
I know exactly how you feel man, I've been burned out on games since about June. I don't really get bored of Dtoid, but I haven't really been spending too much time on the internet lately due to lack of time ... :(
I feel you on that. While I haven't cut Destructoid out of my diet completely, my commenting and blogging have dropped to almost nothing. While it's not burnout, it is busyness. Now when I read the comments sections and the community blogs, I see tons of things I love, but countless names I simply don't know. I'd love the opportunity to jump back into the community to get to know all these fantastic people, but I simply can't seem to fit Dtoid into my schedule. Perhaps it would be best to ease your way back into the pool, instead of diving in head first this time? Good to see your name pop up though, any good ol' regular like yourself is always welcome back.
Also, I sent Ron Workman my Christmas list, but I received no presents. Instead, my mom just got pregnant.
I remember, and I'm regular. Both in dtoid visiting and BMs
Welcome back! You won't remember me, but I don't care!
Perhaps you just need to find a more interesting community, did wonders for me.
@nanbu
Why are you here anyways?

How could I forget my first time having Bioshock spoiled?
Atlas is Fontaine.
@Moo & Nanbu
Would you two go and get a UFC cage match going? I'd pay real money to watch you two battle, in an all out bout and rumble.
Holy shitcakes.... why am I still on the front page of community blogs? It looks like trolling has been seriously clusterfucked! Also, thanks for all the positive comments. It feels pretty good to be back and to be remembered.
@Justice
...yep... I got a warning to stop though... Atlas 20K and Atlas 30K will live forever in our hearts.
@ Vexed Alex and Knives
I totally remember the night "Mischievous Sterling" took over Destructoid. It was fucking awesome.
And hey; Atlas is Fontaine.
Memories:
PS: No edit comments button yet?
PS:PS: I keep getting redirected from Destructoid to a site called "China Sex Culture"..... anyone?
Of course we remember you Atlas, I was wondering where you went! We lost Sadistic for awhile there too, sad times. Nanbu left and came back, but seems he still hates it here so I don't know why he bothered even coming back.
"PS:PS: I keep getting redirected from Destructoid to a site called "China Sex Culture"..... anyone?"
There's been a recent take over at Dtoid by angry Orientals involved in spreading the asian tantric style of sexyness, sorry, just gotta deal with it man.
I find it similar to what youre saying, Ill burn out on the place for 6 months, then come back for a while. But I find that when I spend too much time here, I actually have less time to play games. So my periods out of here are normally spent gaming ironically, then when I come back I can't seem to find time to game.
I've never really had Dtoid burnout in the time I have been here, though I admit that the extent of my action is arguing with the same people over the business strategies of the Wii. That being said, it took me a long time to realize that the "Droid" in the Motorola Droid was not pronounced "D-roid" like Dtoid.
Hey I remember you!! Welcome home!!
Somedays I wish I would get Dtoid-burnout so that I could get some work done around here haha. It's a drug I just can't kick.
I'm a couple weeks away from 3 years straight on Dtoid, a little longer if you include lurking. I've never burned out probably because I've never gone into overdrive. It sucks when some people leave (Workman and Rorschach come back!) but there are always new people worth talking to.
"PS:PS: I keep getting redirected from Destructoid to a site called "China Sex Culture"..... anyone?"
Sounds about right.
Hiya, Atlas. You are sort of hard to forget. I doubt you remember me though. (I kind of changed my name) Welcome back.
HE'S ALIVE!
I was always told to say if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all.
Sure there is stuff I could have said, but it really would have been too small to bother with.
Doesn't mean I don't love DToid though, fucking love you guys!
I remember you
