Wow... Yesterday before going to bed I was browsing through the forum and stopped for a moment here, at Juleic's chat, looking through the "Friends List". I started remembering so many people, and your nickname, Salomea, was the one that I remembered really well compared to some others. I wanted to write a message here about all the reminiscences this list brought back to me but decided to put it off and write it when I’d be less sleepy. Waking up and seeing your nickname feels like a dream, literally. Maybe I'm not awake yet... What a coincidence, huh If my memory serves me right, I used to see you mostly on the English forum, you had amazing artworks (I remember that their elegance and lightness reminded me of Alphonse Mucha) and won some competitions.

Anyways, I'm amazed by this saved list. So many familiar nicknames... It's crazy how our Winx Forum community was so big, yet so close. I tried to find my own nickname there, but I guess I barely visited this chat... Maybe even never. I only remember being active in the "official" chat on the Portuguese forum tbh.

Looking back, I realize that the Portuguese and Italian forums were my favorites among the foreign ones (or at least these are the forums I chatted on the most, besides Russian) From my experience, the people there were always so friendly, talkative, and welcoming. I never felt ignored or out of place, even though I was a foreigner and most likely spoke nonsense. Recently I also found the old "Revista Winx Oficial PT" forum and was able to login there, since I used to be a part of it. And oh my god... It was so funny and weird to see my messages in Portuguese language. I wish I had as much faith in myself now as I had in Google Translate back then.

Sorry for the long message. Nostalgia hit me hard seeing all these nicknames

Juleic, I wish you the best of luck with your presentation. I hope everything goes smoothly and you get the grade you’re aiming for.

Do you still play Transformice btw? I'm always surprised when I meet people who at least know about the existence of this game (especially now, when the game is not in its prime, to say the least)

I do, by the way Sometimes. I think I can still find you on my friend list

My favourite was the Spanish forum I didn't know Spanish of course but I had a friend there (even if we were just sending smiles to each other I still feel warm about VirWinx)

[Salomea]

Oh my goodness hi Natie! Yeah I know what You mean about nostalgia. It's such an interesting, warm feeling to see the familiar names all these years later! And yes, You've good memory, I was usually in EN forum (I read posts in FR one, but I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable enough to write in this language ^^')

Nah, if You've been able to communicate, then the rest doesn't matter. Plus everone makes mistakes, even if own native language. (Especially, if your keyboard doesn't want to cooperate and You have no spell check... ). It's awesome You have good memories (and that this other forum is still up) !

Also thank You! I haven't drawn/painted in that style in a bit. (But maybe I should on the ocassion, also maybe some winx drawing )

Gosh, it's such a blast from the past (and surprisingly good remedy for my SAD).

Hello everyone!

I read everyone's messages and I'll be sure to answer all of them after tomorrow. But a quick and heartfelt thank you to Natie and I already added your name It's incredible you weren't in the first place, but I did shorten my friends a few years ago on my 2016 topic from forumeiros, so you probably just were cut alongside a lot of others. I have an older version of my chat somewhere and I can show you the full list.

As for Salomea, of course I'd remember you. You were a global mod on my previous forum, and a very good one too. You and donnie tried really hard to help this teenager make the first website's attempt great, but I was stubborn and not the best back then, so I apologize for sometimes refusing really good things for the members that were suggested by you both.

Today's the day... 😬

Wish me luck, I'm this close to cry due to nerves

I find it surprising that I didn't spend much time on the English forum, even though I started speaking English only thanks to the Winx Club website. However, I distinctly remember browsing the English forum in the early mornings. Due to my timezone, everyone else was asleep at that time, and usually only the English forum had a couple of users online.

For some reason I also have one very vivid memory of visiting the "Willkommen!" section on the German forum, but I didn't really talk there. I also clearly remember being interested in the Dutch forum, but I can't quite remember why (I think it was even before I mistakenly won first place in their contest) As for the Spanish forum, I remember being fascinated by their punctuation (the question marks and exclamation points at the beginning of a sentence), and I still think it looks super cool.

I definitely talked nonsense and made mistakes even in my native Russian back then (and there are still old screenshots as proof lol). But you're absolutely right, Salomea. We all understood each other and nothing else really mattered. All the mistakes seemed even cute
Retrospectively, the forum was such a great place to spend childhood. It had all the advantages and opportunities the Internet is supposed to provide. You know, making friends from all over the world, learning new things (whether it's languages or graphic design), all that stuff. Everything that comes to mind when you talk about the benefits of the Internet (of those days)

Also thank You! I haven't drawn/painted in that style in a bit. (But maybe I should on the ocassion, also maybe some winx drawing )

Gosh, it's such a blast from the past (and surprisingly good remedy for my SAD).

We'll all be happy to see your drawings!
I feel you. The memories this site brought back were quite encouraging and gave me a sense of comfort. I really hope this place continues to help you feel better!

Haha, thank you, glad to be on this list, I appreciate it

Fingers crossed!

Fun fact: Russian students have a superstition where they ask friends or family to scold them in their thoughts during important tests/exams/thesis defenses. It's supposed to bring luck and help them succeed. I wonder if there are similar superstitions in other countries

[donimakaroni]

Congrats on your thesis and good luck!
Also it's a good thing your advisors are keeping sharp eye on it! Even though, it's obviously stressful, I get that. (But on the other hand mine ignored me the whole process and only once sent me tips with 22 points- sentances they wanted me to correct, so my reviewer kinda torn mine work to shreds, and since that was a a written review and not in-person defence, I couldn't even do anything about it :/ )

I really hope and wish You more calm soon, so your blood pressure can get down. Take care of Yourself, please!

Nice to see You after all that time![/color]
