It sure has changed over the past couple of years. I remember in 2003 when I first got into it. It was a lot of fun. I made a lot of friends and also enemies. You will always have enemies for no reason at all in your lifetime. It happens. I also noticed a lot of those friends pretty much disappeared off my radar. Probably moved on with their lives or just disappeared. I still do have some friends though from back in the day. If I were to get back into the fandom. No one would have any idea who I was. I was thinking about going to Anthrocon 2014 next year. It's sorta up in the air at the moment. I really don't know any one who goes from my past. There are some, but hardy any. lol I guess I'm just too old to make new friendships. :P Back in the day you could become friends with someone easily. Now it's like everyone is in it for the money or just to become a popfur. It's kinda sad really. If anyone is still watching this account I give you credit. What are your honest feelings about the direction the fandom is going in? Be honest. I just want to hear your opinion. Also to see if anyone old friends actually respond. Probably won't, but I wouldn't blame them. Life happens and you move on.
