I come and check every few years, too! SN took up a large chunk of my teenage and early adulthood years, from when I was 13 years old until I was around 21, and I still think about it even though I'm 30 now. I met my husband on here (Zimloc/Azekial) who I now have a 7-year-old daughter with and this Halloween will be our 9th wedding anniversary. I made many friends, some who I was able to keep in contact with through Facebook and Discord while others I just lost contact with when MSN finally died and Skype became the new thing to use.
Overall, I miss SN and the people who played here. It was difficult to find a server, and even other games, which had the same feeling of community while offering freedom to do basically what you wanted to the degree that SN had, so we eventually stopped playing NWN a few years ago.
Zimloc says hi, too!
