I honestly can't remember exactly why. It's been a while since I was last here. At least two years or more if I remember that much correctly. I am a returning member. As for why I came back? Nostalgia, and curiosity I suppose.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?

I am female. (37 years old)

I really like your reintroduction! Dead Can Dance, an origami corpse, what's not to like?

Welcome back!

Can we keep this one? it's better than average.

Thanks for the welcome. I must admit, I left this board last time due to an influx of Trolls and no apparent input from those who were supposed to be taking care of such things. Playing with the Trolls was fun for a short time, but it got old very quickly. This is the first time I've been back since then. I am hoping the situation has changed for the better?

Oh, that's disappointing to hear. I would've hoped they'd have either moved on, or been dealt with by now. Oh well, perhaps I'll just have to give the ignore function a good work out.

And hello to you too.

Nice to meet you, and thank you for your kind welcome.

Hi there Emerald and welcome.
Great music taste you have, I like a lot of the same stuff, also it was great to read that you like Fantasia! I watched that so much when I was little (to the point where the video was pretty worn out) and recently I've been trying to find a DVD copy of it, you wouldn't know where they might sell it in Australia would you? I'd rather not have to ship it from overseas.

[Renatus]

Welcome back, I remember you, and your video on goth from years ago. Unfortunately I just looked it up on your post history because I remember I liked it and it is no longer presant on youtube.

Hello, thanks for the welcome. Nice to meet you. I have actually been to see Fantasia at the cinema, every single time it has screened since I was around 5 years old. It's sort of a tradition with me now. As for where you might find it in Australia, I'd suggest just asking at any of your local DVD sellers. If they don't have it, I'm sure they'd be able to point you in the direction of someone who does. Good luck, although I do believe it should be pretty easy to find.

Hello, I remember you too. Nice to see you again. And yes, unfortunately I had to delete most of my videos due to copyright claims. In the end I decided to just close down my account. I might try and redo that video at some stage though, especially now that I've had a bit more practise with Windows Movie Maker. It'd be kind of cool to actually make a sort of mini documentary on the Goth Subculture. And thank you for the welcome back as well.

Thanks Emerald, I have tried a couple of the more obvious places but they don't seem to have it and they aren't very helpful unfortunately. They've told me that it's a discontinued product or something. I was pretty surprised at that actually, I sort of thought that Fantasia would have been fairly popular. Anyway, I'll keep looking, cheers.

Well Disney does have the habbit of pulling movie classics off the shelves for a period into it's "Disney Vault", so it will be some years before they sell it again. I just looked up Fantaisia and they wont be bringing it back out of the vault untill 2010(they put it in the vault back in 2004), so unless you want to pay rediculous prices on ebay, or buy a bootlegged version, you'll just have to wait.
