I suppose, given that I'm staggered this place is stronger than ever before, that I ought to say hello here. I don't know for how long I'll stick around, I'm a much busier man than I was here years ago, but I couldn't resist the temptation to stop in and say 'hi' and congratulate everyone for keeping this NS region and community going.
I spent many years here, serving in all sorts of roles, and can say that I recognise both HM Constance (Albeit not the one I had initially thought!) and Klaus from all those years ago, I would suggest that the strength of this place owes much to their perseverance.
I don't know how well many of you here will remember me, I think my last appearance was more than five years past and, certainly, on a different forum, when ZetaBoards was a thing. But, if it might jog a memory or two of anyone, and not wishing to try and ingratiate myself, I had the honour of serving as King of this place for a time and, no doubt, most of the Offices of State.
Just again, I can't believe this place has persevered so long and whether my stay be long or short, I'm absolutely delighted to return.

Welcome back! It is lovely to see you again! As David said, you probably knew me as Silver Steps back then -- the Constance you were likely thinking of is Constance St.James, and she's still around as well! Looks like you're back just in time for the investiture of the Prince of Wales and a general election.

Indeed, my apologies for the mistake, your Majesty. But it's great to be back, and good to see so many old faces still around.

As a heads up, if you aren't on our regional Discord server and would like to be, a sizable portion of the goings-on and discussions occur there now. As a rule of thumb these days that is true in some but not all cases, the forum is for longer-form posts while the Discord is for faster discussions.

Welcome back to the Duke of Albany. (Read your citizenship app to figure out who you were haha.) It's very good to see you again, Constance. I couldn't help but have a wee nosey around and I'm not surprised you 'out-reigned' me by a few days, or that you're still handing out judgements from the bench! When the notion of NS crept into my mind today I'm not sure I expected that such a number of old faces would still be around. It's very satisfying to see this community still going after so much time, and no doubt much of that has been down to your own efforts.

Well, I so appreciate that sentiment. I had almost successfully “retired” at the start of 2018, but the region asked me to make the jump from ZetaBoards to here to continue serving as Root (a request I was honored to receive and happily accepted). So I’m around, though I don’t do much outside of the occasional court case and answer questions about our past.
I must say, I was just thinking about you the other day. I’m so glad to see you check in, and I hope all has been well for you these past several years!

You're definitely a far steadier hand on the tiller than the previous management all those years ago. I was actuallybwondering whether anyone would've remembered me after all those years! And I've been good, rather busy these days, but I'm happier the busier I am. A world away from days gone past, that's for sure.
