The Great 2016 MSPAFA people remalgamation thread

Hello all. Long time no see. Turns out I'm a bit slow on the uptake with the whole non-existence of the MSPA fora thing, but then I scarcely paid them any attention these past couple of years anyway so that's not surprising. I just realised this morning that today being April 20th means, amongst other things, that it is the seventh anniversary of C101 (my ancient forum adventure), so I figured I'd do the semi-traditional thing of trying to remember what the heck I was doing with it, and how one actually solves the elevator puzzle because seriously that was both the best and worst puzzle idea I have ever had in any format ever... and then I find the fora don't work any more. Go figure.

I had to somewhat force myself over here in search of answers, since I've managed to turn coming here into A Thing That Is Big And Scary Because Of Reasons My Brain Refuses To Explain, but fuck it, I've sat here trawling threads for an hour or so and the nostalgia pangs are not going away. Also, the more I type the more I'm afraid I'm going to chicken out of posting this, but because I'm me I can't stop spewing words everywhere so I best wrap this up shortly...

...so yeah, how's everyone doing? Keeping well, I trust?

(also I too am no longer straight - this has been the case for quite a while, actually, but I'm pretty sure I have not had a sufficiently consistent presence during that time to have ever indicated such, so consider this a formal indication)
