Hi everyone!

It’s me, El\_Thierro 🙂  
Some of you might remember me, most of you probably won’t…

It was my birthday 3 days ago, and I got a mail from KirupaForum to wish me a Happy Birthday…so I came over to check out how things were going over here, and I was amazed to find a thread wishing me a happy b-day, after I had been inactive on these forums for more then 2 years :love:

I had some pretty amazing times here on this site & forum, and I still think of them. I learned a whole lot here, and had a load of fun as well :pleased: I’m glad to still see some familiar faces here, people who have had more patience then me and still stick around here, helping others out and making [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) to the wonderfull site it is, has always been and hopefully always will be.

Kay, enough with the mushy stuff :trout:  
So what have I been up to?  
Since I _“left”_ (I just got caught up in other stuff and didn’t do much designing anymore) the forums, I’ve gone to the university over here in Belgium to study Law. I’ve engaged into a whole lot of other online stuff since then, which still take up a great deal of my daily time. Other then that, I’ve been staying at a dorm for almost 2 years now, which just absorbes _a whole lot_ of your time, so I just haven’t had the time to spent on the internet :ne:  
The spare time I _did_ have, either went into my GF, family, or other internet stuff. I’ve still been doing \*some \*designing (eg. posters for school events, etc…), but not much, and I certainly don’t spend time trying to get version 347.2 of my own online design company off the ground anymore 😛

So that’s kinda what I’ve been upto in a nutshell (a very small one), and I just felt like sharing that I as well still think of this place, and I’m happy to see it is still a blooming & florishing harbour for Flash/PS/etc…-beginners as well as experts, and I wish you all the best of luck in continuing to do that, and have fun and GL in the rest of your lives.

Peace out,  
El\_Thierro :player:
