Yep. I think that makes it incredibly off-putting to people who aren't expecting that, but that's why I love this place.

    Remember when you remembered people's names and avatars and forum sigs and made connections with real people? The internet used to be like that! Some parts of it were very cool! We felt a sense of community for our little corners of the internet!

    I appreciate hexbear bringing back that feeling.
