Yeah Miriam (CoA) was always a fav of mine of sorts (she was a Tyrannosaurus Rex you know lol).It was easier to know and remember people back then since people were not bunkered in so many other forums/threads. Ruin had that Town Centre/Square vibe that played over to V2 partially but not so much anymore imo. I think most of the RYL guys I can name are long gone too.
You probably remember Kweeny pics being photoshopped at Ruin to look like Avril Lavigne (by Goofytoad maybe?). Most of the above are still around on MySapce/Facebook. Miriam has a music page too.
****, brings you back.
Last I heard from Craig was last year around his birthday. Awk I really hope he's doing well for himself. Vrinda is back on here :) PMed her recently.
I mind Wasteland Soldier, don't think I spoke to her much.
Whatever happened to Rosie/Nine? She kinda disappeared for a while there and I think people began to worry. I still worry a bit.
Used to read Nikala/Casper's LJ but I don't know what has happened to her unless I'm still reading it without realising it if she's changed her username.
I remember Hellfire.
Waaay back when I first joined I remember some fella named LuSiD but I never spoke to him or anything, it's just the username has always stuck in my head.
Me and dreamaway are still in contact after all these years :) And our friend Parky/Buttons.
haha. i wasn't a very active member of ruin, but when recover came i'd like to think that most people at least knew my name.
it's so strange to think of that place (early-recover) as this place. because it really was so much more friends-orientated. it was just introductions, general, f&d, serious and reviews, and maybe a couple others that i never went into so i can't remember them (creative?). even if there were people i never directly spoke to, i still felt as if i really knew them, and cared about their wellbeing, to some extent.
now, this place has become so.. sub-forum-orientated and there are so many new members/members in general that unless you go to meets regularly or are in some kind of clique it's so easy to get forgotton among the crowd.
owh. i'm rambling and rambling. i'm just a bit sadd that all those people aren't here anymore (and i still am, haha).
edit;; i still speak to sara/dreamaway on livejournal a bit, but not much. she's okay.
&rosie/nine is okay too. i spoke to her maybe six months ago or so. she's alive & well.
casper/nikala was SO SO nice.
edit;; (cos i feel like i'm hijacking this thread a bit).
when i first first first came to ruin. the first person i remember who stood out for me was jedijuggler. i don't remember ever speaking to her (i thought it was a guy for ages). but there are always some people who you just recognise and follow around a little.
i don't even think she properly joined v2. or well, she probably did. but didn't stick around for long.

Lucy, I remember when you had the caterpillar or something avatar? Or was that someone with "clocks" in their name? I miss the old avatars! Bet we would all remember each other a lot better if we kept old names and d/ps.

owh
I noticed you way before you posted a lot. The thing then was a lot of the nicest kids were always around but often were quieter than others. There was
always a huge element that never said as much as the "corps de xcorex" in the center of things but were subtley influential by what they didn't say/do. Confusing that but I didnt want to expound lol.
lostdoll (eimar?) you too! and dreamaway, there we go.
and i remember so strongly CHIA and this other girl uh...gabby? something about morbidfairy or something like that who were really nice but had really graphic sigs pre-sig guidelines. heh, good times.
i remember that cheesestick thingy =p whenever i think of that i think of aliiiii :) lol
i know most of the people on that list =)
“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
Oh my god this thread is so weird.
I haven't heard from dreamaway in sooo long.
Nikala/Nicola/Casper/whatever else is on my Myspace. And so is Jess/Draven (and all her stunning photos).
And the ever lovely Alexis is on my Facebook.
I miss Rosie/Nine. She's lovely.
Those names bring back maaad middle-school-aged memories.
well, i have sown untidy furrows 'cross my soul,
but I am still a coward,
content to see my garden grow so sweet & full
of someone else's flowers.

Basically. It's not really um, "cosy" I guess it's the word. I suppose the only comparison I can give to that is comparing a huge suprermarket with a small family owned corner shop. You get the idea.
I remember Jess and Rosie. I think Emily (limey.) saw her last summer?
I've spoken to Beki ( used to be skawhore) recently as well.
And what happened to Leah? I can't remember her username but she kinda disappeared too. And stalemate. And chickadee. And oh god so many people.
i remember when i first came there was three people that had some kind of cheesestick cult under their screen names.
and i never got what that was about.
uh huh.
Haha. Yea. Sylvia/Me/H. It was Sylvia and her craaaazy obsession with cheesesticks that slowly took over all of RYL. Along with glitter and playdoh!
I have a photo of some people from the first RYL meet somewhere i'll have to try and find it and someone to scan it in for me.
Ali xox
With demons dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.
Yeah..That Cheesesticks thing turned into quite a controversy at some point *cough* :)
And yeah, I've been thinking about Tracy lately, she loved her English Spot rabbits. And she left liteally days before I got my one so I never got to show her :(
