How did you first come to Hip Forums?

i just thought of this thread from the whats the origin of your username. the reason i came here was to see what good sites there were for buying pipes and i got alot of help from here. i made a big topic about chunkyglasspipes and then i started to read alot of other posts so that got me stuck here LOL. i dunno i just thought that this would be a good idea for a thread if you can remember the reason why you first came upon the wonders of the HipForums community. **thanks to phamaphunk for giving me the idea for this thread** hopefully others will like it to

what was the reason if you can remember for first comming to hipforums?

 

I was probably 15, browsing something about hippies, i think looking for some shirts or something, and i stumbled upon the hipforums...i stayed for a few years and then disappeared about the time i turned 18...i returned shortly before I turned 20...i was sitting in the apartment all fucked up and my roomie was sleeping so i ended up here and decided to stay again and well now you know.

 

Last December I decided to start smoking and figured finding info on the net was a good place to start. Obviously I found a treasure trove.

 

i was bored out of my mind at gibbs college (dont go there, you will regret it, BEWARE OF GIBBS) and found a random forum thread by someone who still posts i believe (i cant remember who exactly) asking if he could smoke some pieces of his socks that had resin on it via blowing through it. i lol'd at this post and all of the responses, and just read the forums for 2 days before deciding to join. thats my story and im sticking to it

 

I found it on accident when I googled something.. I forget what I was originally looking for

I only posted a few times when I first joined, with the intent of not even sticking around, but the oldschool posters were awsome.. like JoJoEyes.. we were good buds.. that made me want to stick around.

Just one of those things you stumble upon.
Been family ever since..

 

I remember that one! I was still really new and I remember thinking, "Wow, these people might be bigger idiots than they seem."

 

yea its kind of a never ending cycle because you always want to keep up with whats going on in threads. once i started the thread i made about online pipe sites i had to come back to check that. then i just started making other posted and reading other posts and then i just used the time i was on here trying to keep up with everything LOL.

 

LOL yea i remember the whole smoking the sock thing. it seems like it was newer then when you joined though more like since ive joined here. maybe there was two different occations of the same thing or that old thread got resurectted. either way its shit like that that keep you wondering what else is going to be said on here hahaha.

 

I came here after reading a thread at the shroomery. I was originally posting in the Acid forum here but then decided to look around and now I stick to the stoners lounge. You guys are too cool to leave.

 

ive tried to post in other threads but they never seem to be as active as the stoner lounge here. this is right around where i started and its pretty much the best place to just chill and chat about anything. alot of people post in the random thoughts forum but thats a little to "random" for me LOL. at least here in the stoner lounge theres discussions that pretty much anyone that has smoked pot would talk about or something along them lines.

 

I was on a different website and noticed an advertisement for hipforums. Came here, hung around for a couple months and then joined! And here we are!

 

/\Explain how you became mod

 

dang i was kinda wondering to but hes already offline. oh well still some cool ways of finding this place. i think that the original way that i found this place was from google so id have to thank that. google can find the answer to basicly anything or at least give a search result to this site LOL. wow im baked LOL i only took like 3 hits

 

Skip has a thread in the Site Announcements forum called something like Moderators Wanted or Needed or something along those lines. I simply asked him about it and voila! But I really did think I would have more time to moderate, but really, I don't. So im going to be asking Skip to de-mod me and let somebody more capable, do it!

i googled salvia and stumbled across this site... lurked for a while and then signed up. good times.

 

I used to come here when i was like 14/15 too.. But I don't think I really used the stoner forums. Probably the hippie forums mostly, and I just kinda forgot about the site, and then every couple of years I'd stumble upon it again, but never really stick with any username. I think sometime last year though I made this screen name and have stuck around mostly in this forum cause I like all of you, well mostly.

And it's fun to keep coming back. So yup that's me

 

My friend showed me this website because he was a really big hippy. I was about 15 and never heard of it and didnt really know what forums were. I thought it was gay and didnt post much until we saw some other kid from our school on the forums. Now I have 8 times as many posts as the person who introduced me to the forums lol

 

I beilieve i was googling somthing involving pieces.

 

i was googling for info on communes and this site showed up.

 

wow,, this makes me think..

im not sure how long ive been a member of these forums,, 10 years?? geeze has it been that long? find out how long pressed rat has been a member and subtract a year and a half,,lol...

anyway. ive been online since like 94,there used to be a cool little chat room in lycos that i spent the first couple years conversing with others of like mind.then lycos consolidated a buncha of there chatrooms and our core group was scattered.this was pre instant messaging,and E mail addys were just a novelty so i lost touch with a lotta good folks.

so i spent a year or two wandering aimlessly from chat room to forum to chat room,then one day i guess i was searching for "hippies" on some search engine,this was well before google (or at least i had never heard of google at that time)and found this place..been here through 3 server crashes lol...

my user name?? it is what i am..
