So I've been an older member of Brickforge, welcoming myself back from my "Dark Age" or whatever people call it nowadays. Tournament Paintball has been occupying my time in these recent years, so I had little time to mess around with Legos. I have, however, brought my brother into it, and he's just gone mad over Brickforge and Brickarms recently.
Some cap on what's been going on in these recent years for me:

Playing tournament paintball in Division 3 NPPL and PSP. I progressed fast from Division 5 to Division 3.
I played for Southwest Voodoo for a time. I also guested on a scenario(military simulation) team DustDevils a few times, and is currently on Tucson Ignite.
Purchased over $1000 on gear alone, probably more or equal to the amount in even admission and paint.
For funsies, I went to Living Legends V and Oklahoma D-Day, two major big games in the paintball world. Living Legends had around 3000-4000 people attending and Oklahoma D-Day had it's usual 5000-6000 going.
Avid member of TechPB, especially on the forums (been gone on those forums since I left Brickforge).

Heres an idea of what I've been doing for the past few years, mostly tournament paintball. I went to compete in Phoenix, Arizona, Galveston Island, California, played at World Cup in Florida, played in Huntington Beach, pretty much all around the nation:

and here's the big game/ milsim game scenario D-Day I played at for fun with Dust Devils:

Paint balling can be fun and crazy, good times for the memories.
Great to have you back and to have your brother join too! BF has grown while you gone, enjoy all the sweet new stuff and be sure to share what you create - you and your brother.
