. .. Not a small part of me wishes Lauda, Vod, TMAN, and probably a few other members that aren't coming to mind would return simultaneously. That would be a trip.
Hell, even if they staggered their reappearances, it'd be amazing.
Those three (Lauda Vod TMAN), were/are pillars of the community.
Lauda Vod TMAN I didn't meet but it's like Vod left later than the other two because when I joined the forum newly I read one thread so about some fracas between him and Ognasty and ors. They have contributed much to the forum, especially Lauda in beginners and Help pinned posts.
Then, describing them as pillars shouldn't be totally right because since they left this forum haven't collapsed. Ok, it could be that there are other pillars apart from three of them. Yet, the foundation is not shaking.
Well, it could be correct that when one pillar falls another will emerge. Then your claims may be right.
