When I came back to the hobby

Was reading the following link about people reacting to the release of 5e DnD, and got me thinking about my own rediscovery of DnD
Followed the link, I am not super impressed by the data, because there is a lot of nuance that is being missed. However reading the threads and conversations going on it’s super interesting to read what people were thinking when 5e came out.
I personally was on a DnD hiatus between 2008 and 2017. We had been playing 3.5e up until our group sort of disbanded when people moved, I got married, our other DM moved to the countryside, etc…
Did buy some 4e, played and DMed a few oneshot sessions when I was able to get together with friends, but it was not on my priority list to play frequently or run a campaign.
Eventually my new year resolution for 2016 was to get back into to hobby so learned that DnD was still kicking, there was a 5e, and started attending Adventurers League at a game store nearby.
