One old member who especially stuck out to me was Plasma Trooper. Gonna get a bit deep and personal here for a sec.
Most people seemed to believe that she (?) was a fake, and while I'm not saying I necessarily believe she was for real (I really hope she wasn't), seeing her talk about her life circumstances really hit home hard. If there is anybody I deeply, truly feel sorry for, it is anybody who grew up/is growing up living a sheltered life, especially through their teen years. I genuinely think it's one of the biggest life challenges out there. But I won't go on a tangent about that. Either way, it pained me to see someone else like that. If she was real, I wish she hadn't been scared off by the toxicity of the old memberbase because I can tell you from experience that any form of socialization, virtual or not, can ultimately change or even save your life at some point, as long as you're smart about it of course.
