With most things, the drama seems more significant as it happens than afterwards. There are always people who play things up a bit, as if life isn't entertaining enough as is, but I find those people often are the ones who force or fake most of the emotion in their lives.
So, yeah, you probably missed something of worth; but it was only worthwhile because it was happening then. Retelling it, except for a one-sentence blurb titillating enough to elicit a 'heh' but not enough for a reading of dusty threads, would be a waste. Histories of online communities, even well-established and long-lived ones such as this, are ultimately fairly ephemeral and pointless, best left to the minds of the members.
The inside jokes are better that way, after all.
So, welcome back?
