Hello everyone. Man, I haven’t posted in a long time. It has been a really busy year for me. I lurked now and then to these boards, but there just seems to be too many messages and topics and replies posted every day, it gets overwelming for me to start up again. I just thought I would check in. I have been going through the old AOL boards and saving all of the threads my friend Alex (Triggerz33) and I posted in, I still have a lot more threads to save from there yet. Man, after reading all of my old threads over again I really see how much I really did make an ass out of myself there, most of it was my fault in those flames. I wonder if anyone from there still hates me, I hope not. Well, I took about a year off, I guess I needed it. I don’t know how to make a comeback in fear that I’m forgotten or just plain hated from my crap back from 1998.
I think my last message here was last year when I told everyone I was going to Paris, after that I just never got a chance to get my butt back into them Straight Dope Boards. If anyone is interested you can check out the crazy StrTrekNut’s time in Paris, I saved every picture I took there on my Paris site. http://www.geocities.com/pierre00.geo/paris
How many people are here from the AOL boards? Is Gorge and Bob posting here yet? Last time I was here I don’t think they were at the web boards. Oh yeah, there’s the newsgroup, I almost forgot. I think they were just posting there. Since the SD moved off AOL everything got way too split for me to keep up. I wish everything was still on AOL. Oh well, we can’t have everything we want. I’ll try not to make an ass out of myself if I make a full comeback. Sorry to anyone I offended if they are here and remember me.
Anyone miss me? I sure missed everyone myself, even though we had our differences and flames.
I do remember you. I was Mrstrag767 on the AOL board, and still a fairly wet-behind-the-ears newbie when the switch occurred. I was Cristi here for well over 2000 posts, then I changed my name to Persephone.
Nice to see you! Hope you have some fun here. This really is a great, intelligent, well-moderated board. You’ll like it!
Yeah, George and Bob post on the newsgroups m.f.s-d and a.f.c-a, but not here or at Fathom.
There are quite a few AOL/SDMB survivors around here, but there is no central “group” of them who hang around together. With all the different Fora, some are found in General Questions, some in Great Debates, and others are scattered across MPSIMS or IMHO, with a much smaller number hanging around in the :Comment on…" Fora or the About Thid Message Board.
Hello Shane!
Nice to meet you!
Never met you before but welcome!
I will finish reading about Paris as soon as I get back from the theatre (audition day). The pictures look great (love the smiley! ); bringing back a lot of memories for me! Thanks for sharing 'em.
LOL!! Yeah, I’m that crazy person who made those posts about pies in the face. Wow, that was my very first thread on the AOL boards, and my first time at the Straight Dope all together. That will be three years from this December, man time sure flies. Did you ever see that pie thread of mine? I’m not sure if I remember your screen name, I guess if I look over the archives from the AOL boards again I might see it.
BTW, I made my own website about pies in the face, something I should have thought about doing before I bombarded the SD AOL boards with all of those questions. LOL!! Oh well, we have those funny memories now I guess. http://www.geocities.com/pieintheface
