Just for the hell of it I clicked on my own profile to see when I started posting here. fucking hell!
Then I started checking some others, and a lot of them were not at all what I expected. Clearly my memory is worthless.
Mention whatever was going on in the forum when you first joined. Dates are useless to me; I want to get a feel for who joined when based on forum events (the quiki had just started, keiffer was a mod, whatever.)
-
I joined when Keiffer was still a mod (Makeout_Hobo).
April 17, 2006. Over 3 years, yeesh.
-
November 22nd, 2007. I'm a baby! I joined during a dry spell.
-
July 10, 2005
I consider my badge of seniority to be "I remember heretic."

February 08, 2006
Holy crap, I still remember makeout hobo. I thought when I started posting again, people would be all, "I remember this guy." Boy if I was wrong. My ego clearly outstrips my actual self, which isn't surprising at all.
-
Don't worry Bassist, I remember you. I was going to make a post about "whoa BB is back on the forums" but I couldn't find a thread where it seemed appropriate and then it just became something that everyone clearly already knew about. I was happy about it, though. Welcome back.
-
April 24, 2007
I still feel like a baby.
-
Mar 6, 2008 - I am still a baby :roll:

Whoa, really? Thought I was completely forgotten. Thank you. You have helped my ego, which is very lacking at the moment.

December 20, 2008. I'm the youngest 'un 'ere.
-
July 16 2008 - Just after Tronnocon.
-
December 29 2008. Youngest so far, only been here a year or so.
From what I remember Kieffer had just come back and a man with an epileptic fit inducing avatar was running around making an ass of himself.
-
26th of October, 2006.
Goddamn, has it been almost three years?
dude, the very first response and you already weren't following instructions. weak
-
February 24th, 2007. A solid two and a half years dedicated to you kids.
The only thing I remember from when I started was posting my music in the bad music confessions thread and getting totally shat upon. Thanks guys.
-
June 12, 2005 Heretic and the Sandbox are all I really remember from that time
-
August 22, 2008
Youngest one, aw.
I remember when I first joined I was lurking a hell of a lot more and I remember reading a thread in the music forum where someone said, "I like that Mogwai song with no vocals," and someone corrected it to, "I like that Explosions in the Sky song with no vocals," and someone else siggied it.
-

When I joined, I had actually been using the name "Sphincter of Theory." I decided not to join with that name, because people would actually know music theory on this board. They didn't (by the way, not an insult). They're just allergic to music that people enjoy.
-
April 09, 2008, 01:09:21 PM
Some people were posting as QC characters for some reason. Those accounts were soon deleted.
-
October 02, 2006
Fucking hell if I know what was going on when I got here. I'm old and my brain is going.
-
May 29, 2008. I can't really remember anything that was happening then. I probably never ventured outside of Music Discussion anyway.
-
11/16/2006
I don't recall any particular standouts that are no longer with us...I do remember when Dan was a mod and what it was like without the mediafire thread, though. I also remember when most of us had usernames instead of actual names (I still do).
-
august 24 2005.
jesus fucking christ am i really on my fifth year?! i need a life almost as much as joe hocking does.
-
I joined on September 1, 2006, so I have been here just about three years. I started reading the comic about the time Marten was applying for the library job, LibraryJob (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691), and I read that because of a mention in the unshelved web comic site.
-
December 07, 2006, 09:20:33 AM
There was still a welcoming committee and nobody had real names for usernames.
-
I have no clue. I remember when Tania signed up and when Hocking was still heavy on image use and humour.
Edit: Wait no, I registered after the discuss forum.
I think what happened is, somebody died and then I was written in as a replacement character.
I think the original character was cast in 2005 and was killed off last year. Something about the character being too similar to a pre-existing one that already had an established fanbase.
Edit: I remember a Joan Rivers guitar with "June" beneath it? June 2005?
Edit:I'm fuzzy on details. I left my memories in other people on the forum and so I rely on them to recall previous event and occurances that may concern me.
There's 6 people here and each one contains one part of a six part story.
Edit: Hey, I'm looking for somebody to read all of my posts before I think of them, any takers?
-
I registered well before I really did any posting, and if I remember correctly there was some event in the web comic that incited an influx of new posters roughly around the time I started posting with any regularity; I forget what event because I rarely read the damned thing. It was all a bit depressing because my first experiences with the forum mostly consisted of reading threads where people posted how the forum wasn't fun any more and how none of the new people were interesting, abla bla bloo, etc. Definitely something of a transition phase.
-
Date Registered: June 06, 2004, 04:08:33 PM
fuck all ya'll I'm an oldster
I remember the forum going boners for Talking Heads more than Bedhead, there was an awesome boarder named AndSheeWas who ruled and RAY posted and it was awesome. I was in on the Very First Mixtape Exchange, and I got a two disc special with all lyrics and also commentary by Khar. The first disc was "not scary" the second disc was "very scary". I still had the lyrics as of when I moved in June, but not the cds anymore. I remember lots of people joining who were rad, like Julia specifically because Jeph made her avatars
also this has been my same username forever, though it'd be nice to know the people who've been here longer than me who changed their usernames when I left. People like el_capitan and milkmandan and s_lion... some of these people may still be here and I wouldn't even know!
-
July 12th 2007
I registered when there was a thread called Random Question Game or something like that and I first thought that being quirky and making stupid comments would make me feel accepted (ie. this. (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,17045.0.html)).
I now know it's not true. You just have to adopt an indier-than-thou attitude. Thank You QC Forums!
-
October 14th 2008
Even looking back over my first posts i don't know what the general mood of the forum was when i joined.
-
March 09, 2008,
I think it was the early years of pointless thread(the second one)
Edit: no I think I predated it. All my old posts are hella dumb though
-
October 23, 2007.
All I remember is saying something about a pretty bland hardcore/metal band that I was really into at the time and I think I got all butthurt because people didn't like it so I left for like 6-8 months and grew up.
-
May 4th, '06. How the times have changed.
Also, I remember you, BB. Kind of.
-
June 25, 2007: Just over a week before Ally started the "Sea Creatures That You Should Probably Be Aware Of" thread. Right about at the same time Jodie joined. Caiphana was on a posting spree. CmonMiracle / "Jen" was posting really pretty pictures of some girl.
I've spent way too much time here (particularly considering the fact that if I stopped posting tomorrow probably no one would notice).
-
June 1st, 2006.
I'd been lurking for quite awhile. I seem to remember finally joining when one of the forums disappeared and I found out you had to register to see it.
At least I think that was this forum.
It's all a blur.
-
I remmber BB. I seem to remember having an mp3 of a song you were in? I liked it quite a bit, it was instrumental and slowish and had a really cheap sounding keyboard.
-
August 01, 2007, 12:03:59 PM, but I only started making a real appearance when Gilead was at the height of his drawing fame. My first step up was when he drew a koala with a knife, so I took a picture of myself with a stuffed koala with a knife, and Tommy said I was cool or something, and I just felt loved by everyone since.
-
July 18, 2007.
seriously
-
I joined November 21, 2007. I had been lurking for a long time before I joined, plundering the Mediafire thread, and I was one of those people who registered because I felt bad about taking and never giving back. I think a lot of my earlier posts are gone because they were in the original MF thread. Also, looking at old posts doesn't really help me remember what was going on in the forum because for a long time I was too shy to post in this section of the forum; I mostly talked about music and films in their respective areas of the fora.
Did Kieffer get banned when he was Dirk Hopeless? I know he was being pretty abrasive when I was a newb, and then I didn't see him post for a while. Oh! And Jackie was still around, and kind of cluttering threads flirting with someone I've totally forgotten. ...Actually I'm pretty sure I kind of contributed to that. So uh, earlier posts not entirely free of embarrassment.
-
Date Registered: July 09, 2007, 08:30:23 PM
Then I didn't post for ages.
-
May 7th, 2007
I lurk a lot. A lot a lot. I'm that guy.
-
February 10, 2006
i thought it was earlier than that for some reason?
it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...Kieffer was a mod, Misereator (sp?) hadn't gone off to fight commies yet, and uh um...i don't know i lurked alot and have a bad memory. i remember when the Quicki started...and then died.
does anybody remember the picture of Ben on the tiny little rocking horse or whatever that was? that was a funny fuckin' picture.
.....also, i remember when Joe Hocking was still funny. zing!
honestly, do any of you people even know who i am? i mean, i know i am fairly forgettable but shit it's been like three years or something! COME ON
-
I joined on the 20, October 2005. Nearly 4 years now.
I joined a little after I Like Fish was started, I think.
Ally was still stifled_dreams (she told me to post more because she loved my little squid avatar).The QC Dating service thread was around at that time. I talked about myself a lot. The first photo I posted of myself was this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Lapuz/me/ME.jpg).
I remember the quiki, and trying to use the IRC channel to talk to people before gabbly was around. I remember Heretic, and Chuck and elcap. When I joined Aphi was still around. I remember when I was excited to be on the top 10 of posters who had spent the most time active on the forums (I remember when I was number 10, rather than most definitely number 1). I remember when I finally hit 1000 posts, and how long that took. I remember going and meeting fatty and jimmy for lunch in Sydney, and meeting lunchy and jamie and Thnikkaman in Newcastle for a baked goods party. Seriously guys, this thread is making me really nostalgic.
-
March 8, 2005.
I just checked my old posts, and apparently back then I really didn't like Anne Geddes.
Who the fuck is Anne Geddes?
-
September 10, 2006.
I crashed Bibliophile's welcome thread and got in a fight with Khar about the appropriate punishment for paedophiles. I also complained that thrash metal was lame (a view I still hold) and Miserateur said he was going to "feed me to the blacks". I'm not sure if that was a racist remark but it sounded like it was.
I didn't realise it had been that long.
-
23 Sept 2003
When I joined none of you were here.
Get off my fucking lawwwwwwwnnnnnnnn.
-
Yeah yeah you're old we get it. Find a new schtick.
-
You can't teach an old mod new schticks
-
Who the fuck is Anne Geddes?
Photographer of puke-inducing babies, usually dressed like flowers, widdle fwuffy animals, or other things of ovary-exploding cuteness.
Err, June 10th, 2009. I won't even bother.
-
23 Sept 2003
I don't know how I feel that I joined only 10 months after your registration date.
Though I did leave for two or three years I think and only DanMnem, Keiffer, Julia and I think Emilio (?) remembered me
And Alex, I'm pretty sure Keiffer got banned under several different names, one memorable one was Sean Bateman. This was before I'd seen Rules of Attraction (still haven't read the book)
-
I apparently joined april 28th 2007. however, i didn't start posting a lot until january 2008. i recall will made a scremo thread and we posted a lot of thrashy emo but that was before i really knew much about that type of music. for whatever reason i think that jump started my posting. i do recall however lurking around for most of that period between april and december. i remember it feeling awkward trying to post, cause it felt like everyone knew each other so well (duh).
so yeah i'm coming up on two years of actually posting. damn.
-
I remember when Tania signed up and when Hocking was still heavy on image use
shiiit I forgot all about that, I'm too lazy to google up images now
And I remember tania joining too, mostly because I still have this in my photobucket:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/greeks.png)
-
I remember wanting to sig that image and settling on a description of it. Infact, you were in just about every single sig-quote on the forum. Wait, you were also my nemesis.
*sigh*
The days of sig-quote contests and GIS battles.
-
I joined August 21, 2005 and have been here every day since.
Oh God.
My first post was this
It's been a long while since I've had to make a newbie post anywhere.
Feh.
Hi! I'm 20 years old, Australian, a nerd, and a full-time Barista / part-time functions waitress. I've been reading QC for a rather long time, and lurking the forums for a few months now. You people are mightily entertaining!
People have compared me to a sort of Faye's-head-on-Dora's-body type being, but I'd prefer to look more like Pintsize. As you do.
I have read the rules. I will adhere to them, as I'm a moderator at Anti-Rice.com forums and know the annoyingness that is a stupid poster.
Let me conclude this post by saying that Jeph is cooler than that guy over there, and my Wacom and I one day aspire to be artists of his calibre. Cheesy

April 12, 2007.
My most standout memory from early on was a thread about that kid in Georgia who was going to jail for like five years for having sex with a girl who nailed like five dudes at a college party or something. I got absolutely railed for using an apparently taboo word. Tommy eventually jumped in and defended me and he was my hero until I realized how utterly boring he was.
I also recall the blind date thread (In which I was actually involved in an attempted date trade where I was going to trade onewheelwizzard to pen for linds or something, funny how that worked out) early on in my days.
Then there was You As Your Avatar week which, come to think of it, should be fast approaching.
-
March 17, 2004, 08:19:44 PM
I don't really remember much about what was happening when I registered. I didn't post for a long time, and wasn't really a poster till 2006-ish. I started spending bunches of time here when I had a day job where they often didn't give me enough work to do, and said job had me living in Richmond Hill, which is an awful place to live which is far away from everything except sprawling suburbs and an absence of living people.
I remember Gryff was super cool and I started using the forums on work time because I wanted to be quick on the draw with clever remarks. I accidentally usurped his shtick and summarized threads for a while.
Also I think Gabbly started not too long after I started spending more time here?
Pre-quiki.
(particularly considering the fact that if I stopped posting tomorrow probably no one would notice).
Yeah maybe you've spent time here and I wouldn't notice if you were gone tomorrow but if some months went by without you then hey, I'd be like, where's that girl who is neat and smart and doesn't post often but looks adorable when she posts pictures.
-
I got absolutely railed for using an apparently taboo word.
Was it cunt? I'm trying to think of a word we don't like around here that isn't filtered and would come up in that context. You're talking about the word cunt, surely?
When I say the word cunt, I feel like I am stabbing my at heart through my eyeball.
It definitely affects me in a strange way and in a certain context it'll make me super uncomfortable, but I do not think it is a word that contains the devil.
You can say cunt but not have the devil on your tongue.
You can say cunt and blow kisses.
-
No, it was retard. I remember this well and how fucking stupid I thought the entire fiasco was.
-
Oh.
Jon you fucking asshole, what the fucking hell man? You make me fucking sick you piece of human trash. That is fucking inexcusable.
-
oh yeah I remember that! I remember that the person who got offended in the first place (does he still post here?) was called out for using other terms (eg. idiot) that he ought to be offended by given his reasoning.
-
Then there was You As Your Avatar week which, come to think of it, should be fast approaching.
When exactly? I forget
-
It's in September, I don't really remember though.
-
August 10th, 2008
So just over a year ago. I joined after reading the comic and realizing the other forums I post at was filled with racist, homophobic, immature children. I was curious as to what the hell a hipster was, so I figured I would check out these forums to see if i could get an answer. Then I realized you all are like all the friends I had in high school, so that was nice.
-
Date Registered: August 29, 2006, 03:38:37 PM
heck I've been around for a while. and still only just over one post ever other day. If I remember correctly the first werewolves game had just wrapped up when I first ventured down to I Like Fish (as it was in those days) I never actually had a newbie thread and I shall pass on quoting some of my early posts because they contained copious amounts of me Trying To Hard.
-
i also remember being part of "don't be stupid" when i first joined and, before it was killed, being witness to such brilliant threads as "DONGS THAT ARE AWESOME! (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,7635.0.html)" and "how many five year olds could you take in a fight? (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,6925.0.html)"
guys, why aren't we funny anymore
-
Wait, y'all used to be funny?
(Also, probably two five years olds because one will always end up jumping me from behind and choking the shit out of me and I suck I at fighting small people (except midgets))
-
guys, why aren't we funny anymore
Does it amuse anyone else that the forum entitled "DON"T BE STUPID" is about 70% dong-related?
-
January 22, 2009
Dammit, Chowburger! :x
Hmm, it was just before the dumping of the weekly comic subforum. I didn't bother with a new member post, just jumped in, mostly in the comic forum, with a smattering in here, music, and movies etc.
-
i went through more of those old threads and found some old posts of mine and remembered that at one point i used to use capital letters too. boy was that weird.
-
Actually, the word in question was slut. The word retard was the word he used later that got some people on his ass (I seem to recall my use of the word slut being actively referred to as a retarded thing to do, which just opened a HUGE can of worms). I'm not going to shit on him for it, though, he sent me a rather nice apology PM a while later, which I greatly appreciated. It was all just a big bullshit misunderstanding.
And You As Your Avatar Week is the last week of September, it seems. It was in November last year because Tommy forgot.
-
wow i am an old timer apparently. i joined in april 2005, which means there are a bunch of people (like lunchy) who i thought had already been around before me but actually joined after! weird. when i joined i think people mainly just shouted about dicks to each other in all caps.
then i died.
and then on the third day i rose again.
-
Mai, it has been too long since we visited our home planet, Galifrey. What say you to a summer vacation?
Is your tardis functional? I lost mine when I accidentally set fire to main controls. I suppose Ally might still have hers?
How is kieffer these days? on his last regeneration cycle yet?
-
darryl i don't know what you're talking about, but you know what just hit me?
when i joined i was in high school and i was planning to go to chapel hill and then graduate and then either move out to nyc living out my theater dreams or in africa doing peace corps and saving lies
4.5 years later i am an unemployed bum living with my parents in charlotte, nc... where did my dreams go??? :(
all i have left is my dog and my internet friends. THANKS A LOT.
-
When I joined I was waitressing sorta part time and had no friends and lived with my parents in a small town, now I am living by myself in the Big City and go out far too often and work so hard at my awesome awesome nerd job, I think I did okay!
-
yeah i really don't think i am going to be ready to do the "where you are then/where you are now" comparison anytime soon

Since I started posting I've cut most of my former friends out of my life, including my best friend of 15 years. Mostly because he's a 9/11 truther now. Really man, what the fuck?
-
4 years since joining i got a degree. i also stopped listening to coheed and cambria and got a haircut.
GOOD ENOUGH.
-
April 4th, 2005. That makes me one of the longest-registered people in this thread, which is a little weird.
I have no idea what was going on with the forum when I joined because I pretty much confined myself to music discussion for a very long time. Looking at my early posts I appeared to bang on about hardcore and emo a lot and complained about the lack of good pop punk these days, it's nice to know I'm such a model of development. It's also reminded me that XmalcolmX is still a great name for a band.
-
Oh! And Jackie was still around, and kind of cluttering threads flirting with someone I've totally forgotten. ...Actually I'm pretty sure I kind of contributed to that.
I think it was trillian...
-
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Also Brittany, I knew Kieffer had been banned numerous times, I guess I was wondering if that one in particular had been banned, especially around the time I joined, because I was having difficulty trying to remember whether anything interesting was happening then.
-
when i joined i was in high school
waitafuckingminute I remember you posted pictures where you were in your classroom dressed like a pirate
I did not until just this second realize that you're the same person.

I remember when people had internet names instead of their actual names. Can't remember them worth a damn, but I remember that at least.
Then again this forum has usually used real names for the more well known people thanks to Gabbly and now Meebo
-
I just went back and read my newbie thread. Holy cow! What a dork. (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,12834.0.html)
However, the word whisky is now pronounced Laphroaig, rather than Glenfiddich.
And the name of the hot lady physicist is Lisa Randall.

I actually kind of miss the user-names a bit. I liked talking to stifled and eph and el cap and mnem.

March 13, 2005.
Damn if I remember anything going on around that time. I remember I used to hang in the IRC and more or less lurk on the forum, but that is about it.

Really? Way too deep to even remember back to sp2, and when I stayed away from the music forum, nad when I was in high school.
-
April 26, 2008, 10:01:51 PM.
Wait, what?
OH-- I didn't start posting until February 25, 2009, at 03:02:09 PM.
So, I've been haunting this forums for a bit (more specifically, the mediaf!re thread...I think I can attribute a good 25% of my music to this forum) and today decided to create an account. Except apparently I did that a while ago and forgot.
So, hi! Again? Maybe. How are you?
Apparently I have forgotten twice now.
-
Miserateur said he was going to "feed me to the blacks". I'm not sure if that was a racist remark but it sounded like it was.
I don't remember that. But if I did say that I probably meant those guys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w).
Anyway, February 15, 2006.

-
January 23, 2008, but I didn't start posting until the following August/September, so I guess I'm celebrating a year on the forums these days?
I remember just getting to know people and then all of the sudden everyone started changing their usernames. Way to confuse a newbie, guys.
-
August 16, 2006
I don't really remember what was going on back then, except that Tommy asked for my a/s/l in my newb thread.
I am Gemmwah. Feel free to call me Gem, as that is my name. Anyone who calls me Gemma may become the recipient to some fiery wrath.
I am from England. I don't like my hair to be the same colour for more than three months at a time, and that's pushing it. I am going to University in September and I love sport. On top of being mildly nerdy, I think that's about it.
Ta da!
Aah, simplicity.

I remember that when I joined this forum was full of Indie-rock puritans who shunned other genres.

January 04, 2007
That actually makes me older than a few people I thought had been here forever!
Looking back at my old posts, I spent a bit of time hanging with the comic people and then came over here to get in a fight with qtownstegy. And it's weird to see that a few of the threads I posted in are now Fossilized.
Oh and Darrly was still Spinless, but then he became Sox and everyone was surprised.

I remember you, barely. Back when I joined, I lived in a really shitty apartment in Charleston, SC and was trying to get two bachelor's degrees. Now I have two bachelor's degrees and I live in a pretty sweet apartment in Rochester, NY while trying to get a PhD. Every time I remember that I'm trying to get a PhD, it's so weird. There might come a day when people call me "Doctor."

Or don't be glad, whatever. I'm just assuming here that you even care how I think of you.

April '05? Oh god nearly five years.
I really can't remember what was going on then, except that I'd probably be ashamed of who I was. It was pre-DON'T BE STUPID. I remember a mod party where mods all got drunk together and I forget the rest. I remember the being stupid that lead to DON'T BE STUPID. I remember taking a couple of long hiatuses.
I remember Perth forumite Jenno, Australian forumite James among many others.
Oh hey what happened to Ampersandwich?

She is now Phooey. See, everyone changing names and getting new accounts all the time made me hella observant.

I posted for some days, and then not; I registered tomorrow. Where did that hippo go?

She is now Phooey. See, everyone changing names and getting new accounts all the time made me hella observant.
Aaah, right. I think I should have figured that out.
-
Oh and Darrly was still Spinless, but then he became Sox and everyone was surprised.
Nobody knew outright that he was Sox initially, but I don't recall anyone being entirely surprised when it came out. I remember being greatly offended that I THOUGHT we had a cool new person in what had been a large pool of absolute morons joining (This was around the time of hands down ass up and a few other absolute winners) and it turned out it was just Darryl.
She is now Phooey. See, everyone changing names and getting new accounts all the time made me hella observant.
I was entirely unaware of this. For fuck's sake people, stop changing your god damn names.

January 11th, 2007.
I remember being a terrible stupid goddamn newbie for my second semester of college, left for the summer, came back and made a second I'm new thread.
Somewhere along the line I made a thread about breaking through a door to my freedom where everyone got pissed that I declared myself badass of the week (which I totally was). I think I had like 100 or so posts at the time.
Pets! thread, Any Rat Fanciers Thread, Bright Copper Kettles and Warm Woolen Mittens, Night Lights and Teddy bears... YOU! YOU BETTER NOT BE SOBER! just started.
I started a thread in the music forum about wanting to listen to more metal or something, and then never ever went back.
We started Tribal Wars around that time, someone else started my account. Thinking back we had a hell of a good run on what was it, World 6?
-
That thread about bustin' through the door was awesome.
-
You played Tribalwars? God damn holy moses. I just got addicted again.
-
That thread about bustin' through the door was awesome.
I can't find it anywhere!

I joined on December 14, 2006. I remember Christmas brainslugs. 2006 and still no one knows me! Yay.

What happened to KickThatBathProf? His last post was in May.

November 10, 2005.
I didn't quite realize it was so long ago.
'DON'T BE STUPID' was closed about a month before. People were making The List (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,7592.0.html). I really just lurked for a while after registering, not posting a ton.
But jeez, it's been a while.
-
I suddenly feel like I know way too much about people who don't really know me at all.

you get used to it

Sometimes facebook stalking is awesome? Like once I was all "SOMETHING GOOD IS HAPPENING" and I went on facebook and Johnny C was texting a setlist from Okkervil River in real time to his facebook and so I lived vicariously through him.

March 10, 2005. My first post was at the midpoint of the Sandbox's Picture Thread 2.0. Luke was still around, and that guy with all the guns was getting the No Guns rule added to the photo thread rules.
-
Good lord, I never really thought about how long it has been. May 20, 2005.
I lurked for quite some time, then spent the grand majority of the time I posted making small comments on other people's posts or trying to say something funny that didn't make me out to be an idiot.
And I also make a point of trying my best not to piss any of the mods off. Or anyone off, for that matter. That led to me being not particularly well-known, which I am ok with.
-
Oh wow. Nearly 2 and a half years ago
February 13 2007.
Before the music blog was started. I'm not sure whether pointless and mediafire existed yet.
-
that guy with all the guns was getting the No Guns rule added to the photo thread rules.
Oh yeah that was going down practically the day I joined. I don't even recall seeing the photos, I just recall the minor hoopla right after I joined.
hm now I want to read what my first posts were.
*reads*
My first post in the Sandbox (posts before that were comic discussion, doesn't count) was to marvel about people who don't know how to use chopsticks. I'm pretty sure I've done that a couple times since too, way to get the ball rolling on me saying the same thing over and over.
And then shortly after that negative creep told me I was going to die because my birthday was Friday the 13th.
-
That thread about bustin' through the door was awesome.
Seconded. I remember that thread. I think maybe three or four people defended Phil on it. I'm goin' hunting for it.
-
When I joined, there was no JHocking and there was no Inlander.
Kiff was still SeanBateman, Chuck still had exclusive domain over GET A BLOG and the dancing lock .gif.
People were exchanging Gmail invites, Jeph was getting his ear operated upon.
-
That thread about bustin' through the door was awesome.

I feel so loved nowadays, though I realize the quality of my posting has not improved at all. Sorry guys.
-
I looked at that "The List" thread. Every time someone listed Queen as overrated I got confused for a second. I don't really listen to them often, but of all the songs out there in the world, Don't Stop Me Now is the one most likely to make me smile against my will.

November 07, 2005
I started lurking around May of that year, heretic had just registered and was a Big Star and he's like the only guy i mention because if i start remembering more then i will be here for a while, and plus I didn't post so none of those folk know who I am? Then I think I traveled that summer? so then I came back and then the Sandbox was closed and there was a new forum and people didn't heed by its title and then there was a NEW NEW forum within three months and tania had started posting too and she was like new and young and i don't know. i've been here way too long. i was thirteen then.
-
you get used to it
I'm terrible with remembering names particularly if the name/avatar combination changes, but you were the guy with an avatar of you on a trampoline weren't you? I also seem to remember that you work(ed) at some sort of sport or recreation kind of place where that was taken. I'm pretty sure you mentioned something about living in the meth capital of the world in Discuss! and explained the highly disturbing effects of the stuff to me. I also want to say you're a man with bad circulation and you get cold hands so you wear gloves a lot, but I now have a horrible feeling I've constructed a strange composite character out of other people and none of this relates to you in the slightest.
-
I was always here. I remember everything.
I suppose it is fairly obvious that before I added a silent P, I was tommydski.
Still working on that super awesome post Tommy?
-
sp2 and Luke argued about Coldplay. I sent Christmas packages to Ray and Chuck. The Makeout Hobo did not yet exist, Kieffer had not yet left for his epic road trip, and his friend La_Creme was still around sometimes. Heather was just about to move to Australia, Jeph and Cristi were still kind of a new thing and still hung out on the internet sometimes, and some day in the not-so-distant-future I would get on IRC and end up dating Dan for a bit. I had not yet been to Glasgow, Tommy did not live in the country next to ferocious monsters, and fruitkat had never been to America.
Huh.

March 17, 2008 Bah to all you people who know all you other people.
I hung around in the Weekly Comic Talk section sporadically for a few months. Then I remember Tybalt showing up with his crazy avatars and a whole big fuss about the weekly comic polls getting shut down. Actually I first ventured out of the shallow end of the forum when my girlfriend made a thread in the music forum and Khar called her a streeteamer. When I finally found my way to I Like Hurrrrr Gilead was being awesome all the time, but I think I might have been a bit late to that party.
-
I'm sure I remember a couple of people going (holy shit Sox is Darrly?!) in a very muted kind of way.
-
She is now Phooey. See, everyone changing names and getting new accounts all the time made me hella observant.
What? I totally missed that. Tricksy forumites! I changed my name, but it was an easy change (iamyourpirate to Linds).
-
I also changed my name but I don't think that going from JimmytheSquid to Jimmy the Squid is a huge difference. But I still like to think someone out there has just been totally blown away by that revelation.
-
Wait.
-
You are JimmytheSquid? Are you fucking kidding me?
-
oh shit
ooooooooooooooooooooh shit

I remember when I was excited to be on the top 10 of posters who had spent the most time active on the forums (I remember when I was number 10, rather than most definitely number 1).
I remember this one too, and how excited I was when I got to number 10 (and then dropped straight back off again). That was when we switched over to the SMF forums, I think. I joined December 01, 2005. To comment on the BLAM strip I think? I have very little memory of a lot of the things that happened before, cos of my ridiculously poor memory, despite the fact I've spent 55 and a half days here over the past three years. Things like Joe and Est being all kinds of old. Also I can't believe that Joe only joined in April 2005 - I was sure that he had about ninety billion posts already by then.
-
I changed my name too but I don't really think that this caused any confusion. If so, please tell me.
-
What Liz said.

I joined this year
On my birthday apparently
I need to drink more
-
I first joined in the summer of 04, a week before or a week after Julia, can't remember which. Devils_Daughter was big on the forums at tha time.
Then I joined in December of 04, and Jaret posted a lot, and sideways and aphi and something witty was a huge creep.
Then I joined a couple times a month for about two years.
Then I was a mod.
Then I got banned.
Then I got banned again.
Then I joined again!
When I joined the first time I thought the Internet was really super awesome, please, and I think I was like 16? Now I am almost 22 and I kind of hate the Internet but it is in my fuccin blood and all. And sometimes I try to make the board awesome again but I think that if I do I will just get banned again.
-
april 28th, 2008.
i am new school and okay with that. i remember getting involved in a debate about porn when i first joined. then tommy decided i was cool and invited me to gabbly. during my brief time in gabbly khar and tommy told me that i have correct musical taste and also i got married to jordan at some point. i was wishy washy and dumb about coming to original tronnocon because i liked you guys but not that much. sean and i kind of argued about the fact that i didn't capitalize anything in my posts. haha.
precious memories.
-
June 21, 2006 this according to my profile but in reality i've registered before that. the problem was i couldn't remember my nick/pass info so i re-reg'd and have been ever since.
oh crap did i just meme again? DOUHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Devils_Daughter was big on the forums at tha time.
Oh man I miss her so much.
And then shortly after that negative creep told me I was going to die because my birthday was Friday the 13th.
I did? I don't remember, but it's probably true! Also I didn't realize untill just now that you apparently joined after me. To me it feels like you'd always been here.
-
And sometimes I try to make the board awesome again but I think that if I do I will just get banned again.
The problem is that you're not being provocative enough. Don't be afraid to show a little bit more skin, maybe more photos of your bare chest. Try talking a little more seductively. You gotta remember, most of us here are super lonely and want to reach out to people. Just take advantage of that. Make people think like they have a chance of making it with you. People are more receptive when they're really attracted to you, and a big part of appearing attractive is to appear really really REALLY easy.
Basically...
Dress like you want my cock up your arse.

i've registered in may 06, and although i'm checking out the forums almost everyday, i have only 61 -62 with this- posts. is this bad? (y/y)

Oh yeah that was going down practically the day I joined. I don't even recall seeing the photos, I just recall the minor hoopla right after I joined.

[ I have very little memory of a lot of the things that happened before, cos of my ridiculously poor memory, despite the fact I've spent 55 and a half days here over the past three years.
I have spent, uh, 206 days, 4 hours and 31 minutes on here.
-
73 days, 23 hours and 1 minutes!
Woo! Something!

suckers, i've only wasted 46 entire days of my life on this forum. you guys are nerds.

I feel ashamed
96 days, 17 hours and 48 minutes.

im at 56 days but i have been away from the computer with the internet for more than an hour so many times i've lost count.

I'm only at 37 days.
-
27 days, 23 hours and 22 minutes.
huh
Edit:I have spent, uh, 206 days, 4 hours and 31 minutes on here.
That is ridiculous.
-
I lost 24 days and 5 hours of my life.
-
25 days and 10 hours here.
-
Wow. 2 days, 15 hours, and I'm almost always doing something else at the same time. How do you people manage that much time?
-
Now I am almost 22
What no way.
About 38 days for me. It could be worse.
-
Almost 59 days. After nearly five years of checking the forums every day, I figured it would be more. Huh.
Also no way were any of those 59 days wasted! I love you kids!
-
Devils_Daughter was big on the forums at tha time.
Oh man I miss her so much.
Yeah, me too.
sideways and aphi
Aw I remember when she moved across Canadia to live with him or whatever. It was so cute. I wonder what happened to them. Sigh.
-
Only 8 days here after being registered for 4 and a half years. I joined after I popped my head in and saw a familiar face -- Khar. I knew khar from a game forum years before I ever even read QC. I've known of jeph for longer than qc's been around, he was on the dumbrella boards when I was a long long time ago.
-
Almost 59 days. After nearly five years of checking the forums every day, I figured it would be more.
Remember that it's only counting from when we switched over to SMF.
-
Maybe, not sure about that. We exported & imported info from the old forum. Not sure what came across and what didn't.
-
I know my time got reset. At the moment it is 43 days and 59 minutes.
I've really only started posting a fair bit in maybe the past year and a half or so? I've posted pretty steadily since I joined, but it was mostly in forums that aren't HURR and entirely unremarkable. I think it was a very long time before anybody actually deigned to acknowlege one of my posts.
According to my old posts, when I first registered I only had one tattoo, and I was skinny! Dang!
One of my first posts was chewing someone out for not being nice to n00bs:
SHUT UP -> THINK -> WRITE -> REVIEW WHAT YOU WROTE -> POST
Yeah, cos pissing all over this thread -in 30pt bold italics, no less- is completely constructive. Unless you're a mod (I'm assuming you're not) then you're really in no position to bitch about the perceived worth of any thread. No one is forcing you to read it.
Practice what you preach there buddy
This forum would just about be the greatest place on the Net if all the "veterans" got off their high horses and eased off the newbs a little bit.
HILARIOUS!
Oh shit:
Neil Peart (Rush)
Cedric Bixler Zavala (The Mars Volta)- yes, really.
WHAT
It turns out many of the forumites I admire and think of as the "forum celebrities" have been here for far less time than me.
I think the thing that people would actually remember as happening around the time I registered was that we had that "Australian Eyes Only" thread, where all of the Australians made plans to attack the rest of the world with our most deceptively cuddly wildlife. (Instead of the usual, obviously deadly wildlife)
Also, this is my 4000th post. Jesus fuck! I think the past 3000 have been since about a year ago.
(OK enough nostalgia)

If making it awesome means reliving your experience as a 16-year-old, perhaps it would be better to move beyond it...
-
55 days, 11 hours and 23 minutes.
Also I have never posted at Midnight or 1:00 AM. I post most often 9AM, 5PM, and 4AM. 4AM?
-
I dunno PW, I was having a great time at age 16. No work, no responsibilities, school was easy, friends were great. Still have the great friends, but not much else left over. Then again, at 16 I barely spent any time online.
-
How do you people manage that much time?
i don't know what the current meebo situation is, but way way back when i actually used to participate in gabbly it was hosted on the forum and so all of the time you spent in gabbly was also recorded as you being logged into the forum. i also used to leave myself logged into the forum way more often when i was still in school cos i'd spend days off studying while checking new posts every few hours between study breaks, and even if i spent a total of maybe 10-15 minutes actually reading and posting i would ultimately appear to be logged in all day for like 15 hours.
...except i have also quit the forum a whole bunch of times since i joined and my time off has added up to maybe two years total so uh, part of that might also be all of those times i have sat in front of my computer on the forum with nothing to do except hit the refresh button every 30 seconds.
-
That makes sense now. Also, if what I've quoted below is true, then it'll make even more sense, because that'll mean I've spent as much time as I have over the past week, rather than over my entire time on the board.
Remember that it's only counting from when we switched over to SMF.
-
Wow, I actually posted in the music forum when I joined. That is until someone told me my music sucked and I stopped posting in there for the longest time.
-
I joined, like, more than two years ago. Not that anyone knows who I am.

The funny thing about this is the veterans got off their high horses and eased the newbs in and the forum is way way LESS great than it used to be!
-
When there is no standard people just aim fucking low.
-
The forums are significantly bigger than the used to be, and the comic attracts a different sort of person these days. We can say it's because we don't chew on new members anymore but I think it's because we're harder to please than we were four years ago.
You could say that being more tolerant has persuaded some less than desirable folk to stick around a little longer than we'd like, but at the same time a lot of the core regulars now are people that would almost certainly not have stayed if we were as hostile as we used to be. I'm fairly comfortable with this.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go look for somebody to bully in the music forum.
*cracks knuckles*
-
Wait, how many posts do you need to become a regular?
-
Wait, how many posts do you need to become a regular?
It's quality not quantity, buddy.
Really all I want is new threads, less megathreads, and less boring talk about feelings.
is that so much to ask?
-
I want new threads too, most of my clothes are worn out. I should go post in the clothing and accessories megathread to ask what other people feel I should wear.
-
Walk around naked instead.
-
Wait, how many posts do you need to become a regular?
It's quality not quantity, buddy.
Oh I guess that means I'll never be a regular. I am fine with that.
-
Quality is, of course, a moveable feast depending on who's watching.
-
I tend to leave my computer running for ages without thinking about it. Realistically, I've wasted approx. 24 hours.
-
It's not just time logged on, it's time active. Leaving your computer logging in to the forums for days will not work because it goes by if you have done something in the past 15 minutes. I got this amount of time because I have my computer on basically as soon as I get up and the forum running and I check threads and refresh in the hopes that something interesting has happened fairly regularly while doing something else. I also didn't have a job for a long time, so I had a lot of spare time.
Still, 206 days is a lot.
-
oh really?
fuck than i actually have spent 56 days here shit.

May 19, 2004 I registered as toastess. Long ago enough to remember a time without Mr. Dski.
I have spent 15 days, 15 hours, and 23 minutes online.
2004 yelley would probably not believe the way things have turned out for 2009 yelley.
-
Regged on October 8, 2006 which is about a month and a half after I snuggled up with the QC kids.
I remember "doing it wrong" and randomly showing up on gabbly before I even had made an account. I used to talk with vegikitkat, nolawnocrime, supersheep, fatty, princy, tommydski, and valleyparade every day on gabbly and had early forum crushes on Tania and Julia. For about two weeks everyone assumed I was Kieffer, then the argument became whether I was more like Tommy or Kieffer, or some terrible hybrid of the two. I used to just post and hang out on gabble gabble hey! during work when I was trying to get fired, which also lead to my first thread creation, as Tommy demanded I document my efforts with the forums. Within 2 months of joining, I was hanging out with Kieffer and Huda in NYC, and it has been a swift downhill road since.
Check out my awesome intro post dudes:
After a good 5-10 minutes of debate, I have decided to give in to my inner internet addict and joined the forums. I only recently discovered the love that is QC, and ended up reading all 700+ comics in one day. Luckily my job is slow, and boss slower. The only downside being, now I go from 100s per day, to 1.
Anyhow, the mushy about me stuff:
During the day I get my liberal arts education on at the University of Connecticut and work as office bitch in a business department there for my staying alive money.
When not chained into a desk or cubicle, I'm usually either wasting away hours on the internets, or out doing the hipster college kid act. I live about an hour outside Boston, so I all too often empathize with Marten being scrawny indie kid without a clue.
I am sure I will quickly become far too addicted here for my own good, so thanks a lot you enablers.
I will never leave.

Yelley, you should post more. A lot more.
I also remember when our dear Yelley was known as a world renowned Internet predator.
-
from the orient.
-
Yes, at one point in my life I suppose I was an internet predator in the Orient.
But now I am just yelley on the work, sleep, repeat cycle... not much of interest to post about.
Hey totally unrelated - what happened to meebly? It doesn't work for me anymore. Did we change to a new thing and everyone forgot to tell me (or purposefully didn't tell me to keep me away)?
-
No, I don't think anything has changed in meebly since its inception. It's actually gotten a fair amount more reliable.
-

That's pretty much my problem with this place altogether. Like, I'm obviously not gonna become like a troll and just fuck with shit, that not my style, but I will show up and grumble occasionally about a place I really enjoyed before now being kinda lame and shitty. Like when your favourite local hotspot gets infested with tourists. Take that analogy how you want.
For the record, I joined on March 10th, 2004.
-
bitch, please
-
Julia, you are clearly not hip enough. If you are hanging at a place long enough to where it is infested with "those people" (you know the ones) you are just not as undie. You need to always be at the forefront of knowing where the old man dives are. HEAVY WINK.
Hey, guys, remember "undie" and "De-pop"? Do we still use those?
-
I didn't think "undie" ever really caught on in the first place. I wish we still used "de-pop".
-
Im not reading through 5 pages of this, but like Est, I am one of the oldies.
March 16th 2004.
I remember posters like Cheesegimp, and the conincidental duo hoopyfroodcat and thehoopiestfrood not to mention back when Jeph was an active member of his own community. Out and back when Jeph and Heather were doin there thing. Also this was back when Claire was the forum mascot.
This is actually the second forum Ive really had a presence on, the prior one being www.evilstar.net before it tanked.
*edit*
Oh and other things like Ruyi hadn't yet shown her face, or that stupid ORLY meme with the owl.
*edit again*
My time is only 9 days 17 hours and 11 minutes, nerds!
-
No, Lise showed us her face, but never without a heavy layer of fringe or MS paint.
-
Ruyi used to use her hair as a shield
-
Ok whatever, I am wrong. Either way, aside from my multiple extensive absences, Ive been here ages.
-
Marijuana stole my memories and I am slowly stealing them back.
-
1) A bunch of the early photos of me had my face concealed. I thought it was a neat trick but it was probably just tedious.
2) Didn't Cheesegimp have a really good band?
-
Yeah, it is/was? called Leave (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/leave).
-
Hey, guys, remember "undie" and "De-pop"? Do we still use those?
Yes and sadly no. Bring them back!
-
Leave (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/leave).
You can preview the songs on that site by pressing the play buttons beside the tracks, but, funnily enough, there's nothing to stop you from pressing play an each of the tracks concurrently and listening to the mash.
-
So wait, is it you-as-your-avatar week now?
-
Slick is the only one of him in his avatar... so no? Though it'd be neat if Est was an adorable bee person.
-
I actually drew that picture because meebo wanted me to draw ben in a bee suit. So I guess it could technically work as him?
-
Novermber 10th, 2007. But I've not been around much lately and even when I am on here I mostly lurk.
-
I used to talk with vegikitkat, nolawnocrime, supersheep, fatty, princy, tommydski, and valleyparade every day on gabbly and had early forum crushes on Tania and Julia.
See, this is what I meant when I said I had forgotten things. I had practically forgotten that we all used to live in gabbly. I'm pretty sure I still owe Shane a pint of Guinness if he ever gets over here.
-
I remember idling in the IRC channel for epic lengths of time.
-
I still do. Or, well, I would, if my landlady hadn't somehow managed to block IRC ports. (I am guessing it was accidental because she is retarded.)
-
Or she is a total snake in the grass and thats just the icing on the proverbial cake! (idioms abound!)
-
So wait, is it you-as-your-avatar week now?
I think someone said it's the last week of September but last year it was the first week of November because Tommy forgot? I think?
-
Yeah, I think it's supposed to be the last full week of September. So the 20-26 this year. I am looking forward to it!
-
You guys always forget that it is way better if you do it as "Tommy as your Avatar" week.
-
Only if it's Tommy from The Picture.
-

-
I propose an Avatar Week Tommy will just love.
what are you talking about?
-
Isn't that a little bit cruel, you guys?
-
Nahhhhh
-
This one is actually almost pretty.
-
Dangit Kris!
Grrr...
-
:x
mine
-
There are plenty to go around, guys. No need to fight.
-
I don't usually participate in such things... but.
-
Joe's is my favorite.
-
You people are awful
-
They are pretty terrible aren't they?
-
Mine's clearly the cutest.
-
I just had to join the party.
-
Isopod as your Avatar Month
-
Isopod as your Avatar Eternity
-
sorry no i like heino too much as an avatar

-
Anyone outsiders stumbling into the isopod party might end up awfully confused.
What am I saying that's always the case.
-
In The Aeroplane Over The Isopod.
-
Fuck you it took me half an hour to find a picture that hasn't been used already. or has it
-
also woo 600 posts
66 more to go! Make it count! Post an isopod!
-
Maan I want to join up but I am far too lazy.
-
sorry i am late to the party guys but i brought an isopod, can i still come in
-
no
(yes)
-
When I joined this forum wasn't about horses or Sexy dads.
-
Joining the party! Kind of!
It was a toss up between Songs about Giant Isopods and this gentleman isopod (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/BrittanyMarie/giantsearoach250.png).
-
Brittany I almost used that image but settled on this one instead. fascinating
-
Ackbloom has the best.
-
He's the Gary Grant of isopods I think
-
Wait no I found a better one.
-
SCREW YOU that's MINE!
-
Mine's clearly the cutest.
I'm pretty sure yours isn't real actually. I think that's a sculpture.
-
Too late Blu
-

Excellent.
Guys guys someone please use this

I call it!
-
I don't know about you guys but I can't handle this.
-
Too late Blu
Changed it first.
-
Thank you Joe, it's perfect.
-
I would like Joe to also make a gif of the women's faces from the hexagon in the upper right corner of that series of images.
-
Too late Blu
Changed it first.
All right I'll change. I'LL BE THE MATURE ONE
-
YOU WIN.
-
Mine's clearly the cutest.

It's a plushie. :)
-
Way to ruin our fun, Tommy. It was all for you!
-
I guess we're just going to have to start posting pictures of isopods in unexpected posts, then. It's the next logical step.
-
I suppose
-
Alternately I guess you could find something else to do with your lives?
Like pming tommy isopods?
-
A tip for Tommy's secret santa this year. (http://cgi.ebay.com.my/IKEA-KLAPPAR-SKALBAGGE-ISOPOD-BEETLE-SOFT-PLUSH-TOY-NEW_W0QQitemZ290324336821QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4398add0b5&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14&_trkparms=|293%3A1|294%3A30)
-
Even better. (http://www.nambla.org/join.htm)
-
I really like this avatar actually. I don't particularly care if tommy successfully avoids seeing it.
-
i'm keeping mine too because i think any "________ as your avatar" week is generally a fun source of confusion for the people who end up missing the thread it originated in
-
I would like a mustache avatar week/month/whatever.
-
also, best (http://new.merchnow.com/products/94349)

I already have the perfect avatar for that theme sitting in my photobucket:

-
I am saddened that I missed this party.
-
It's not too late! Far from it! We only started switching avatars last night!
-
Jhocking that is fantastic.
-
"hm I can't piss off tommy, who else could I target by posting a hated image?"

If only Nicolas Cage played a part as a giant isopod. Could have the best avatar ever.
-
date registered July 31, 2008.
I believe the name of the forum at the time was 'my fursona is a leech'
-
So what's up with the Star Trek thing? Did you guys spend all weekend watching Star Trek too?
P.S. oh hey there's a thread for that whoops.
-
I'll stick with my sobbing Napoleon. He is sad about his lack of Star Trek facial hair. Also the fact that he's small and chubsy and fits in a 100x100 pixel box. I would be sad too.

Jesus did I miss the wagon on this thread.
Join date: April 10th, 2007
I was 15 years old. Emilio admitted that he made his friend listen to Insane Clown Posse for half an hour. Manda asked how "emo boys can deal with skinny jeans" and I explained that they're rather comfortable, setting off a years long joke about my pants being too tight. Ruyi got this (http://ducktalesmoon.ytmnd.com/) stuck in my head.
Oh and at some point probably long after I joined that dude with the psychedelic rock band who thought he knew everything was around and then left or got banned and I honestly don't remember his name.
Edit: and Huda still posted.
-
To be fair your pants are pretty tight, dogg
-
But it isn't the only thing I associate with him anymore, so good sign!
-
i agree, his shirts are pretty damn tight too
-
that dude with the psychedelic rock band who thought he knew everything was around and then left or got banned and I honestly don't remember his name.
You mean Jackie Blue?
-
Yeah, he went under a few names and that was one of them.
-
Zerodrone
-
Douchebag was a pretty regular nickname if I recall correctly.
-
Yeah, that one.
-
what happened to him? did he get banned or did he just tire of us hating him?
-
I don't think he was banned. But really, he wasn't bad as certain posters who were obsessed with HP slash fanfic.
-
Jackie said that the one of the last Nine Inch Nails albums might steer people towards Iron and Wine.
Exactly half of what he said was bullshit.
The other half was just regular shit.
-
Didn't he have a girlfriend who was also on the forums that he was cringetastically over-affectionate with?
-
Didn't everybody at some point?
-
I don't think my girlfriend and I actually really ever address each other on here.
-
Wait what?! Jackie was banned for real? I really just thought he stopped posting, cause he was tired. But, yeah I liked Jackie. he was one of my favourite posters when I joined.
-
I originally registered sometime in March of 2004, and deleted my account in late 2007/early 2008 after some real life drama precipitated by some bad decision-making on my part and a heinously crazy (and I do mean crazy*) ex-girlfriend.
Now I'm back. Sort of.
I should be doing stats homework.
*This is putting it nicely.
-
Been to the Southside yet? Way better than the Strip District.
-
Not yet. I've checked out Shadyside a bit, and I think this weekend I'm venturing over to Southside. Any places you'd call must see?
-
I liked Jackie! He was a bit crazy anda bit of a dick on the outside, but deep down he was our very own Holden Caulfield. And we banned him.
This is one of the truest and happiest statements on this forum
-

Haven't been there in so long I don't know about specific places, I'm sure it's changed a lot since I was there. hell, a Cheesecake Factory had just been built there last time I was there, so the whole area might be shitty now. That sure would be a pity; Southside = bars, Strip District = clubs. Still, gotta love that the way to get there is the Hot Metal Bridge (that is not a nickname, hee hee.)
-
I liked Jackie's band. What I heard on myspace, anyway.
-
There are so many avatar things going on at the moment I am completely losing track.
Can we have a thread where we keep track of all of them? Preferably indexed by number of people who participated, cross referenced, the works?
-
I really liked that one song of his band's that he put on that mixtape (12 Different Songs for 12 Different Lovers or something it was called) and don't like the Myspace stuff at all.
That said, Lee Ranaldo Has Silver Wings is an awesome band name.

March 17, 2004
Lurk alot don't post alot
For Jhocking I think most posters were wearing diapers and still on their momma's tit when I joined.
-
Ruyi got this (http://ducktalesmoon.ytmnd.com/) stuck in my head.
Oh GOD I miss the remake of that for gameboy. Gotta find it!
-
man, i didn't even notice jackie got banned. i figured he was just too busy banging underage girls to post. haha, no seriously, that bit of creepiness aside, i thought he was an okay guy. hey anyone remember that thread he made asking us if we wanted to be his friends? d'awwww. also i never listened to his band.
-
I joned March 20, 2005.
And im yet to be useful to anyone. :-)
I did mean to try and organise another YorkshireCon before I returned to Manchester to study. Sadly im moving back Wednesday so I dont think that is going to happen.
ManchesterCon anyone? Im a fun dude really.
-
Everything about Jackie aside, he made probably one of my favorite mixes.
http://www.mediafire.com/?368j0o5yj1c
Track 3 is his band at what I think is their best.
-
Luke is fun! We hung out in Leeds and I learnt to eat with chopsticks (Luke, was it you who mysteriously produced a fork without moving from the table? That was cool).
I'd be up for a ManchesterCon in theory! Although in practice I am not sure I have time. Maybe the week after next?
-
Sometimes I miss Jackie. I'm kinda sorry he got banned, just because it would be a better story if he left on his own.
-
WOAH EPIC ZOMBIE THREAD. It got linked in the coffee thread so I feel like it's ok to resus.
I joined at some point in August 2005, just shy of my final high school exams. Can you imagine why?
Over the years I've come and gone depending on how busy I am in real life. Typically I haven't been overly busy but I don't really feel the need to post very often any more.
When I joined there was no quicki, Ruyi and Dan posted (does she still? I can't tell, too many UN changes) and Tania was a newbie. I remember Tommy was being a scathing dick about something and I argued with hm a few times about things of no consequence. It seems like a lot of the regular posters now are after my time. I lurked the IRC for a while then Jimmy got me into the meebo.
I don't think I made a hi I'm new thread but if someone can find one I'd be amused.
-
Ruyi I think still uses Ruyi, haven't seen much of her for a while.
Mnemeth Dan is Danny Clash now. He's in and out but not posting much, it seems.
-
I registered third. Third! Seven years! Eek! I came here from the digifox boards that jeph and heather and dan and others posted on. I can't quite believe I'm still here. I've managed to forget most things that have happened here over the years. It's always been a bit of a giggle though, except when people start to take themselves a bit too seriously.
-
Pete!
<3
Edit: Wait, does that mean you've forgot me too, because I am not sure I am ok with that.
-
I haven't forgotten you Katie. Never would :-)
-
Awwwww. Y'know, I was just thinking about you the other day. I guess I can't forget you either. :P
(I miss you. And Brighton, but mostly you.)
-
I was trying to remember what everybody's name was back before people just started using their real names. I failed miserably so everybody post those LIST THREAD ENGAGE
-
March 16, 2006
Hell if I know what was happening back then, although I do remember the quiki. What ever happened to that thing?
-
holy shyt the quicki. i would love to read that thing again, i think i may have even made a page for myself. its probably comic gold, since i was prolly 16 at the time.
also shit guys when did this guy - :mrgreen: come back this rules so much.
-
pretty sure the quiki got deleted because no one used it
-
I miss the quiki. Since my last computer died I no longer have every single avatar I've ever used.
I really miss the walking tiger lady one
-
I'm glad it's gone.
Let's just say the modern me would probably punch the old me in the face, so the page I made for myself was probably really stupid and doesn't need to be seen or remembered by anyone.

Hey now, self abuse isn't healthy.
Anyway, my page was probably comedy gold in a way that only an angsty 18 year old with really bad facial hair could provide.
