"The past is a ghost that haunts you from the moment it exists to the moment you don't."

How one starts such a post?...

How one can say "thanks", "sorry" and "greetings" without denying each of the above its respected part?...

Almost half a year of absence...

Above everything else, I would be rude should I make a comeback without narrating what life held for me...

...

But, let me not haste.

After all, the last time I posted, there were barely a hundred members, so it is only natural I am a newcomer to the majority.

I am Devant, #155. The name is Pavlos, half Greek half Italian, with a mild napolitan accent. Programmer, Dungeon Master the past 12 years, barely 22, and until three days ago, a soldier.

As the ID might suggest, I was in TH when it was still a newborn game, still in Alpha. I had the chance to try the chat panel the first day it was out, I wrote a program that exploited a bugged monster for 3 consequetive days making 155mils in both chips and items (nope, they exist no more) and I was there when Ryme announced the big day of beta release. I might also be credited with the creation of the first THwiki, althought this would be less than deserving since the majority of the work was due to my dear IcyFreak. And then, one day, I popped out. Vanished. Like I was no more.

IcyFreak was the only person I kept a semblance of contact with, and surely I must thank her for standing besides me that damnful night.

A couple of months later, the army called my services. A helmet and a G3A3 rifle took the place of books and pcs. Reasons extremely personal, led to my temporal departure from the military, as of 3 days ago...

I own an apology to the comunity for leaving almost without a warning, like as if one day I decided I like TH no more. Ryme, your message was deeply appreciated, I am trully sorry the time was not right back then for me to return.

I also own an apology to the wiki crew. Guys, I am sorry for letting you down. Every message of yours was read, but as soon as the host fell, I was not in position to do anything. It is most excellent that a new wiki is real.

Icy, please, accept my apologies for all the hard work I am putting you by writing anything at all. Correct grammar will prevail! *_-

PS: For those that prefer visual identification, that's me:

It's been a while, Devant. I'm sure you understand that we can't just accept with open arms and say "welcome back!" It doesn't work that way.

If you didn't get the joke, notice the post in Gameplay which reads something like "DEVANT! Welcome back!

...what semblance of contact? I'm hardly ever on MSN and neither were you. And to be honest I did very little work on the first wiki. You only remember because I sent you this whole huge text file containing plenty of stuff I shouldn't have gotten.

Welcome back.

It's good to see you again, Devant.

The past... ah, nothing to fret overmuch about. I'm glad you're back, and look forward to tearing my hair out as I try to work my way through your long and rambling posts full of ideas.

I hope everything in your life is either okay, or working itself out. I'm certainly familiar with wanting to play some things close to the vest.

So, again, welcome back.

Welcome back Devant. I only really know you from reading your old forum posts, but hey, I'm Rombo. :)
