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:

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.

I joined August 21, 2005 and have been here every day since.
Oh God.

My first post was this

Quote

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!" and "how many five year olds could you take in a fight?"

guys, why aren't we funny anymore

Zingoleb · « **Reply #64 on:** 26 Aug 2009, 19:25 »

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.

tania · « **Reply #67 on:** 26 Aug 2009, 19:30 »

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.

0bsessions · « **Reply #68 on:** 26 Aug 2009, 19:32 »

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.

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.

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.
