Well... yeah. But there were so many other cool people there too! Maximoff, Death Adder, Eggyolk, TruFenix...
Yeah, I know about those guys. I talked to Max the most, and I also am lending him some webspace as we speak, for where he now puts up his UFGE-related stuff (UFGE is Trufenix's reimagining of SFIBM data structure as his own custom fighting game engine).
As I said, I'm also trying to update SFIBM to Windows, but I want it backwards compatible and at the same time, sport some features that can make it sort of comparable with MUGEN but without all the ability to make a side-scrolling shooter out of it, or to make a bootleg of an actual game, because that's not what it should be for! I'm just trying to document the structure, first.

was it NeoGAF who identified us as the homosexual gaming site? The cheese thread may have pushed us beyond the pale, but I'm pretty good with it.
On the subject of memory lane, Ktall, the GIA's memorial/reanimated ghost is still available here, by the way! In addition to being in all of our hearts, etc.
I regularly admire and give offerings to the corpse of GIA's website.
I think the worst thing about being older is the realization that I haven't done enough with my life. Where are my self programmed indie game releases?? *dives into unity textbook* I admire you guys doing projects on your own, I work for a soulless company instead. Still, I'm lucky to have a job and all that jazz.
Also, cheese is as homosexual as you want to make it. Cheese ramen is generally considered metrosexual, cheese on squid ink pasta is straight (in my circles), my favorite cheese snack growing up was cheez-its with microwaved cheddar cheese on top... anyone want to comment on that?
Play to win... or to have fun too! :)

Wait.
Are Voging classes real? I thought it was a... you know... something you either know or you don't. Like doing a split, or being rude with just one eyebrow.
Between that and a friend who just started poledancing (link safe for work, don't worry), I feel... awkward. Like, high-school dorky. That feeling when everyone is doing strange and exciting social stuff while I'm reading Guatemalan poetry, history books about people from 6 centuries ago having sex and Icelandic sagas about dudes tearing up the tongue of giant wolves with their teeth.

Dear café,
When I finally become a full-time astrologer (I'm actually seriously thinking about it, we'll see for the 25 anniversary thread of the Café), I promise I will be the most serious, manly and non-ridiculous fortune-teller you've ever met. Except for the part when I tell you where the gold is and if you will finally find true love (the answer is no, sorry).
Also, Nate? Try to stay away from alcohol and other judgement-altering substances between roughly end of next year to end of the following year.

Epoisses is objectively the best cheese.
Edit: And Torta del Casar is objectively the second best cheese by a small margin.
I had to move to Britain to discover, 5 minutes from my place, a mighty cheese shop that has all the Italian and French cheese in the world. No, not all of it: only the best one.
How could I live without knowing burrata? My Italian grandmother is finally at peace.

Vogue classes are, in fact, real. There are even videos on youtube of my main teacher (Benny Ninja) leading classes in Paris! I live in NYC these days, so I have easy access, but there are various cities that have a vogue/ballroom scene in the US.
I've seen a lot of Scandinavian, Russian and Japanese voguers, too. I'm not sure what the options are in Great Britain but who knows!

Ah, a practical and inderdisciplinary degree! Also, nothing like reading 1600's Chinese classic literature (that is also erotica) to end up feeling like you're missing out!

astrologizing all of my university's hot guys without their consent to get into their pants
I went to a hole-in-the-wall (like, deep underground, literally) pub the other month where the barmaster performed tarot and dowsing cleomancy, but that mostly just resulted in us buying more drinks. Consider it!
Tiffany actually goes sasquatch? Superb. I think my characters (male and female alike) got Hinata and teacher Kyoko to fall in love with them. Maybe Daigo, too. Still don't recall how my male character ended up with the shouting version of wonderful, beautiful, exciting though.

One should exert caution when ageing the cheese in the fridge,though: any temperature below 10ºC will dehidrate it too fast...
But then, how do you get a reliable 10ºC in the long run? I suppose you need a stable environment and variation between 5 and 15º are not acceptable... Can you get your fridge to minimum power and have it keep it at 10ºC? That means buying a brand new fridge for that specific purpose, right?
Well, we are talking about yeast and mold after all; they aren't picky customers: they can grow on almost any organic surface in most climatic conditions in the world. Termal variations aren't a big deal for them, as long as temperature doesn't drop below 8ºC (around this termal range, yeast development stops). It's the balance between the serum amount on your Leban (i.e. liquid content on the piece), the size of the desired piece (for the yeast to cover it) and yeast's growing speed (directly related to temperature) what really matters.
As far as I know, around 11ºC to 14ºC would be the ideal termal range for yeast to grow from the inside out of a standard 800 gr. Kefir-Leban at an optimal pace and the aging process should take around 3 weeks. Following a tutorial for standard, non-Kefir based Blue Cheese, I waited for almost 5 weeks and ended up with a dried up, ultra-aged Kefir Blue Brick that felt in my mouth as if I was chewing a rubber toy for pets (the taste was great, though).
You may also try to age cheese on ambient conditions, depending on the season, but it can be a bit risky during summer, as the cheese can get spoiled in hours due to yeast overgrowth (Kefir fermenting process behaves in a similar manner and I've lost quite a few batches of Kefir Leban for this very reason). The warmer it gets, the quicker yeast and mold will grow, so I wouldn't suggest this method unless you live in a place with a continental-like climate and you have some practice in home-cheese making (I haven't tried it myself, I became tired of spoiling litres of sour milk down the gutter just by making Leban, so I went the safe route).
I'm pretty sure a wine chiller would do the trick... but it's just a theory I'll have to test on summer holidays, as I haven't bought one of those yet... 
EDIT:
Some pics of a Kefir Leban au poivre et fines herbes I made today:
- Facebook style, [camwhore edition]
- Artsy-as-fuck, [still life edition]
