i would like to highlight your sentence structure -
perhaps next time you can re phrase your sentence so it will be more accurate --

Hi Dex! Long time I haven't visit this bod. I've been busy right now. Is it no quiz anymore? I love the quiz we played along time ago. Since it's been a while I visited here I don't know what happened to the thread. Just my idea, why don't you paste the boob watch and let us guess what is the wrong and the right sentence? It will be much fun.
