Haven't been here for a while.

I haven't visited in a couple of years, although this site helped me through some tough times. I have a lot of issues that have built up this year, and thought I'd stop in. Mother in law in hospice, and my oldest son has filed for divorce are the biggest ones. I hope all of you are doing well.

Hi tirediron,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, but much like an abandoned hospital, this place is not what it was and you should probably seek help elsewhere.
No more panic (https://www.nomorepanic.co.uk) is still well maintained.

I see that a lot of those I used to chat with have left. Sad, this place helped me through some tough times.

Gypsy is still fairly active online (https://bluelight.org/xf/members/abbeylee.528795/), but not necessarily somewhere suited to your needs. The rest of the users have faded away.
It is sad, yes, but once the admins abandoned the place it was inevitable.
Most of the activity here is by bots which seem to be engaged in everything from SEOat best to active malware and botnet propagation at worst, so I would strongly suggest you remove any personal contact details (email address etc.) from your profile, before you leave.
(I keep trying to trigger Cloudflare into pulling the site, but as long as the adverts keep paying the bills they don't seem to care)
