It's been a while man. I sign it from time to time though, I'm not sure why as I never have anything to look at lol
How's things on your end?

Oh come now, it's only been five years!
Things have been well. I'm a Senior Web Developer and I have you and the iPBFree team to thank for that. I miss the old forum days and making signatures but forums are all but dead nowadays. I sign in from time to time to reminiscence but also don't have much to look at...
How about you? Last I remember you were engaged and having a kid (or newlywed and having a kid?). Did you ever join any new graphic forums after IPBF went down? I remember you got busy IRL so vanished for a while before that happened.

Wow haha, I'm so happy for you man. Being a senior web developer must have taken you quite a while I assume haha. \
For me, I was a graphics designer at first while I was in law school. I was never satisfied after completing my degree so I decided to change directions. Since then, i've been working at a startup and taught myself Python and Java. I have been a Java dev ever since but I've been spending alot of my weekends taking AWS and Azure courses. Recently got my first amazon associate certificate and on my way towards getting my professional certificate. Goal is to become an AWS developer hopefully do something in that. Haha, it's been quite a ride for sure but at least I realized I spent too much time on things I ended up losing interest in.
And yeah man, I definitely do miss those forums days. I imagine it was like ~10-11 years ago. I missed those times too, but I never really gave up Photoshop as I still play with it from time to time to retouch my watch pictures lol. I am a watch collector too haha. I actually sign in from time to time to look at just random digital illustrations of Naruto and One piece related stuff too. I don't really logon as much anymore though as I guess I'm past that phase where I would spend hours just looking at things. Such a pity, never knew I would change this much but I guess my life is completely different than what it was back then.
Regardless, I haven't really touched anything forums related since I left iPBFree. Aside from the family, the occasional gaming, I pretty much just work all the time. Also, I was engaged back then and I have been married for the past 5 years and my daughter's almost 9 now haha.

Hey CCJ, do you remember Tails from iPBFree?
Long time no see man... hows the wife? What have you been up to these past few years?
Why'd you take your graphics down too? I used to enjoy showing people the person who inspired me to learn graphic design.
You touched my life in a way only few could have done. Directed my life from a relatively young age and set me off in a pretty good direction. I thank you for that CCJ.

Hey bro, sorry for the late reply. Haha I remember you of course, actually almost everyone from back during that time period. That was such a long time ago, 6-7 years actually. Im glad Ive made an impact on your life, and it has made an impact on me too, to set an example of myself so I can see how I perform as a person in a third person perspective.
I took down graphics mostly because I wanted to make this account solely for the purpose of looking at others', and also because I've kinda left that part of me behind when I stopped using PS during the last 4 years or so. Rusty as hell, hard to even jump back in so I just call it an end of an era I guess, haha. But its still going good for me as I have just been focusing on academics and study for Law school so that kind takes up a big portion of my time, alongside my family.
Hope life is going great on your side too man.

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,
He said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...
SO NOW I WILL SAY:
I like you because of who you are to me...A true friend.
And if I don't get this back I'll take the hint.
Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you.
Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 PM tomorrow.
It could be anywhere -- AOL, Yahoo, outside of school, anywhere.
Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
Please send to 15 people in 15 minutes.
Remember:
"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....
But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ...
WE screwed up, but we had fun! "
Proud to be your Friend!
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence, and don't skip ahead.
I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
I've learned...that money doesn't buy class.
I've learned...that it's those small daily
happenings that make life so spectacular.
I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
I've learned...that the Lord didn't do it all in one day.
What makes me think I can?
I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
I've learned.
I've learned...that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.
To all of you...make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means
sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have
a circle of friends
