I don't really know... it was so long ago. I know that Seamonster and BraveSirRubin befriended me pretty early on, along with DaisyMae. I guess I just sort of forced myself to be accepted onto this site.
I've accepted you were here to stay a long time ago it seems you do not have to befriend eachother for that!
I remember my first post and I remember getting jumped on by 2 regulars because it was in the wrong place, in their opinions. I just jumped right back at them and carried on.
I was on this site in late 90's, returned in 01, then again in 06, created orison in 08 during a strange time in my life, not that its less strange now. I cant recall names I used, and site wasnt the same as is is now.. http://web.archive.org/web/20021217190752/http://www.hipforums.com/forumdisplay.php3?FID=89 http://web.archive.org/web/20030112230808/http://www.hipforums.com/viewthread.php3?FID=83&TID=71028 cant remember being noob so much, as most the characters in the stoners and grow journals were all the same with new name. used to tear it up in random thoughts, the forum was so fast at times it could take the place of chat speeds.
I remember it very well, I first joined here in 2004 and had two screen names by which I was hated by almost every body in RT. Then in 2005 I turned around and made a different screen name which had many posts and moderator status; then I was banned in the mass banning. Came back with this one after an extended break and hardly participate compared to how things used to be.
I saw it back then but I forgot. Well at least the details of the design. That's normal!! and that while I do remember vaguely how i had to get used to this new forum design
I was a lurker with the old forum design, weird..i remember that. I've been coming here a longer than I thought. I actually made a name and made one post a really long time ago and someone jumped all over me for it so I didn't post again for years until I made this name
I never did the intro thread thang, but I do remember getting bitched out for posting a festival that had already been posted about....
I never did an intro either. I just kinda rolled into the SL and started posting here and there. I seemed to be tolerated there, so after a while I decided to have a try at RT. Got bit by a shark the first day, LOL.
Matt passed away. Angel was sick for a while and did not have a computer last I heard. She use to post on a John Lennon forum but she has not been on there for years.......so I am not sure.
