Gurnard Just dropping in to say Happy Holidays to you and everyone, and hoping that you'll still be alive next year. ;-) To others, I'm curious, just how "old skool" does a member have to be, to be of "old skool lot?"
I never class myself as an old-schooler as such, but as time has gone on and the forums have become a graveyard, I think it constitutes anybody that was here before things began to wane. Yes, I remember joining when I was 16.. talk about wasted youth! Even though the necessity of the aD forums is only going to decrease as time goes on, I do hope that the guys running the site see enough value to keep them running for years to come. The way we consume info these days means that people don't want to post a question onto a forum and wait or learn something new, and it's a shame. Who'd have thought five or so years ago that the practice of backing up DVDs would become almost obsolete so quickly?
I think it is safe to say that you count! Does DVDHounds still live? Lethal, we were discussing this somewhere else too, I was 13 when I registered. Haha. Hope you and everyone had a good holidays.
Back after surgery..(16th Jan) ace result and recovery continuing well.. "New" woman in more ways than one.. time for a new start.. 16 years to get back xxx
glad to hear your doing fine.i remember you use to scare the shit out of me when i first joined this site.youve mellowed some.LOL
heh heh heh... honest.. all that old stress and anger seems to have just melted away the thing nobody tells you is the full brain and life reset that goes with it.. sort of single again and getting on with it instead of waiting around in limbo is great. I have some photos from hospital to share when I get this stupid card reader to work love to all xxx
i kinda know how you feel,i had issues with drugs,mental health & homelessness and use to be stressed,aggressive and dangerous and stupidy dangerous at times.I don't have them issues anymore and feel relaxed and my posts actually do make sense. nothing new happening in my life.
That's because attar gets to them first. What he ment was: when he sits around the house, he sits arrrrrround the house!
It's been a few years since I was regular on AD, but there was a time when I made daily and nightly visits. Over the years I came into contact with a lot of characters on AD, largely because of shared interests. I still have the occasional contact with a few of them. When I first joined AD on March 1st, 2003 (over 11 years ago), I encountered some interesting tech-savvy people such as Praetor, who was one of the truly "Old Skool Lot." So my curiosity is,if I'm still occasionally lurking AD, then is Praetor also a voyeur in the shadows? Hear that Praetor? If you're lurking this thread then it's time to step out of the shadows and say howdy! Some of the "Old Skool" members in this thread might not remember you but the really old, "old skool" will.
Hi Sophocles, Old skool is coming out of the woodwork. lol I came in 2005 and Praetor left about that time. I didn't know him very well.. His e-mail is still active, you might PM him and see if he shows up.... It could happen.
