Many moons ago, when this forum was created, I moved over from BSN so I could enjoy all the ME and DA gossip in my favourite corner of the interwebs. I didn't know any users IRL, but recognised names and enjoyed the chat. After a couple of years, Sofa asked me to be a mod. It changed everything. At first, by forcing me to the parts of the forum I didn't like and giving me a mini meltdown , but then something quite extraordinary happened. I monitored the shout box a little, a space I had previously avoided as I was too shy to chat to people in real time. Plus, you know, they're all weird in there. There was a group of Europeans who chatted every morning, and amongst them one poster caught my eye. He was sarcastic, didn't take too much attention, and was considerably less overdramatic than the rest He was having a bad time so I sent him a dumb, jokey message to give him a laugh. We chatted then played some games together. For the first time in my life I was brave enough to do voice chat as we played. MEMP, Warframe, DAIMP etc. After 3 months we decided to meet. That was 3 years, 9 months ago. Covid kept us apart for almost half that time, as did Brexit. 10 months apart, then 8, always having to go home as visas ran out.... Then last week I married him. And emigrated to Germany too. This place has changed our lives dramatically. Neither of us ever thought we'd be 'normal' and find someone, as we're shy and awkward, too old for that and all that stuff. We'd both resigned ourselves to it, but here we together. We built a little apartment, I just officially logged my residence here, and our middle years are now the best years either of us have ever had in our lives. I just turned 40, which of course is horrific, but it's now that I get to live the best part of my life. It doesn't get to late. I hung up the mod badge as all this strife, everything keeping us apart, was too much for me. I lost my interest in the forum, but I'll be back as a user now that there's some breathing space. To all of you who made me laugh, who filled the shoutbox with the chats that brought us both there, or who just nodded as we passed each other in the Normandy corridors, thank you. And Gileadan, I love you Pooky

Dating people you've met through BioWare forums is just proof of intelligence, excellent taste and good looks. Marrying them, even more so. I approve. Congratulations. I know how hard the long distance and international thing can be. Very happy for the two of you for making it work.

Congrats! Fun news is fun! P.S. I was going to post this one, but all my perverted brain could see was a big bouncy ass. Why did I feel the need to mention this? Why, its the BSN of course! Enough said.

Congrats you guys . 40 is the new...not 40, so love, you got plenty of time left, you didn't miss anything! I wish you both all the best for your future together, through the good times and the bad, the fun and the sad, the stupid and the rad, the happy and the mad...I'm going to stop now before someone kicks me I've missed seeing you around my favourite tea-drinker, but hopefully you will be back to have more weird discussions with the other weirdos in the shoutbox
