Well, I'm going to do something shocking and actually not take credit for this. GoldenPhoenix and BeautifulShy return was all their own doing. I'm glad they didn't feel the need to keep up their self-imposed exile because times change and the reasons for leaving in the first place for them and others may no longer be valid or matter as much as it did years ago. So, there's no harm in changing one's stance then.
That said, I'm still working out the final details of operation Masterstroke in which I kidnap various family members of a lot of longtime lapsed users and force them to return to these forums in order to see their family released safely and unharmed. However, I don't want to get into it too much since I don't want to spoil the surprise and some of my lawyers say it may be technically "illegal" so there are various details like that to resolve.
