I'm guessing early 2000. I was "CL" until I figured out I didn't have to use my initials for my screen name. I could be wrong, but I think this board had just started up. I'm back there with Heg, when the board was policed by Wanyburger. If ya stepped out of line, he didn't use the Slim approach "Maybe you should re-read the rules". No, he would tell you something like "Go away and piss off". Ahhh, the good ol' days, when no subject was a dead horse unless Wany said so. Back then, we teased Hansen 'cause he didn't know who the pop group "Hansen" was and we all wrote "ummm-bop" in our response posts. Robnsue was around then. So was Hokiebama, and Unklebill. Aberdeen was always around mumbling something about stomach acid on toast. BrentM01 hung out here until someone accidentally sent his wife the Breast Test. Bulldogbandit was sending everyone his tasty nuts. It was here, of course, that the REAL Hubcap the clown first posted, Bud worked his magical graphics, and the phrase "you've been hubcapped" was born. Who participated in the "Elite 8" or the "Magnificent 7" box passes?
I see Timinator, another oldie, popped in a week ago or so. Melski, another old fart, was actively kicking back then; I see him around here from time to time. I just mention some that are no longer around much anymore; there's plenty still here.
Yep, now I just sits here on the back porch hopin' one of the oldtimers drops by. Good to talk to you youngin's too, though. Hey, I think I'll go find an old Wany thread and top it for old-time's sake. I'll see what else I can dig up.
