I know his Xbox Live account, and I've been thinking of messaging him for a while. Here's what I have so far:

"Tony, it's me, Jake. A lot has happened since you left, but one thing remains the same: we all miss you. We know that we made you feel like you didn't belong, and that was wrong. You belong here just as much as any of us. We've realised that just because you don't enjoy the same music or women that we do doesn't mean we should make fun of you for it. In fact, we've all changed a fair deal, and are a much more varied people, with more vaired tastes. We'd all like for you to come back, but you don't have to if you don't want to; it's really up to you. If you do decide to come back, here's the link to our new spot: http://xat.com/teh_forum It's not run by Svart; it's run by me, and there are only a few common sense rules. Whatever you choose, I hope you have a good life. - Jakey and the guys"

The only thing I'm worried about is wordiness. Not sure what Xbox Live's character limit on messages is.

... just looked it up. 250 characters. Fuck. Help me find a way to get under 250 characters, guys. So we can get our Tony back.

Tony what a nice guy I miss his great sense of humour and wacky outlook on life and all its entrails RIP

yes, make sure he knows that it's not operated by svart and also make sure he knows that we've all varied our tastes.

maybe wait to tell him the URL until he responds, see if he's even interested.

and I don't think taste in women is so important rofl

Should I mention how relaxed we are now that we don't care? And maybe our new self-parodying nature? Also maybe the fact that we have women and

My only regret in life is that I have not yet had the never-ending pleasure of meeting Dr. Tony.

I hate admitting it, but that was pretty correct.

Was it reeeeeeeeally

^ Hello old friend.


Anyway, why not send multiple messages?

That would look bad and spam-y. I don't want to make Tony roll his eyes and not read anything.
