Gee, if 24 is old, I was old when I came here. But at least I’m not a 99er, that would make me REALLY old ;). I’d be a little surprised if there are any 99ers who are only 24 or 25 now. Interests change so much when you are a teenager, and the internet is so different now than it was back then. There is a huge difference between 13 and 25. There is much less difference between 24 and 36. Something the OP may not yet appreciate is that adulthood lasts a very, very long time. Even so, I sometimes marvel at the fact that I am still around 12 years later. Happy New Year, everyone! ---

Hmm, so some members are from 1999. Any chance we could send them back there? Darn 20th century throwbacks! Now, 2002! _There’s_ a year to conjure with! 🙂 ---

That’s the year internet denizens finally learned to throw bones into the air properly and feces into threads.
