DOOM!
They should have named it Doom4 or something

I hope everything gets better for you soon. I’m in the process of moving.

I’ll keep that in mind, lol. How are you doing?

Sorry it’s just a cute emoticon. I use them a lot and you don’t seem grumpy!

Senpai - noun

1) A Japanese honorific used when someone is older than you in age or they have more experience in a field than you. The opposite being Kouhai. It is usually a troup in anime or manga for a Kouhai to desperately seek their Senpai's attention but fails as because their senpai ignores them continuously. "Kumagi-senpai was really nice to me today. He even offered me to go drinking with him after work!"

2) Someone who will never notice you. "Wow! I hope senpai notices me this year!"

Oh wow, I actually really like this song. It's very upbeat!

*shakes tail*

Quit following me! =P

I see. Clearly I've been away from AF too long. I still like it here, but I'd be lying if I said the service hasn't deteriorated over the years. ._.

There are some rigorous methods I use to protect my data though not to the extent of hacking my OS (yet). But yeah, I get it. By analogy I used to work in nightclub, but when I got to certain age I lost interest in going to nightclubs altogether. At first it occurred to me that maybe I was getting too old for them. But the truth is I came to realise that nightclub music was mostly boring and predictable and my ears was looking for something more engaging.

The more people are aware of what's going in the world the better, and that means having an open mind and looking beyond the official version of events. It took me long enough, but when I saw the truth there was no going back. You seem to be a person who thinks outside the box and beyond what authority tells you to think, so I thought I'd share that nugget with you.

On the stance thing, I agree with you in principle. Sadly, hacking's not exactly a skill that agrees with the way my mind works. Though, if I feel strongly enough about a problem, I'll usually endeavour to find a solution through sheer dogged determination (and maybe a bit of OCD), even if that means hacking. It's probably true that I currently give more to publishers than I take from them - but bit by bit I'm making steps to change that. Meanwhile, if I find a problem with some product that I think paying consumers should be aware of, I won't hesitate to point it out and call out those responsible. What people choose to do with that information is up to them.

I'm kind of surprised that AF's not allowing you to switch back to your old username. For what it's worth I can say that feature was available for me, though that was years ago and things might have changed since then. I don't see why Kaitou Ace can't change your UN back for you though if you ask him?
