Have any of you old-timers like me ever looked at your join date and momentarily warped back to that age? I was a freshman in college when I joined here and now I am a 28 year old dad of two. Wow man, time flies. Pretty cool that our generation gets our life semi-chronicled online.

What you old farts don't realize is there was a time before 2003.

Fuck, I remember the Spot.

Going well Hulkein. Grad school and an athletic 10 yr old son in addition to work and other activities keep me well occupied.

On topic: good to see some of the same folks around that were here when I joined.

I had a different handle when I joined in 03. Apart from my beard nothing has changed.

I joined Player's Corner under different names on and off for years, lurking. I remember the switch to this board vaguely. Divone is the name that stuck :)

Psht, lurking?! Everyone knows you require two colorless and one green mana to cast:

I would ask a favor of these boards. If anyone can actually find my original animated avatar of H*R-into-Stinkoman, I might actually turn animated .gifs on. And use it as an avatar again.

Wasn't Maeveen O'Donagh used for flavor text in Fallen Empires? I am outraged.

.

I remember when I used to post on my old handle The Eternal Klaive. Good times.

It is fairly amazing how long GS has been a part of my life in some form.

I played long before I found this site 8 long years ago.

This. I think I first played when I was 12. So, 18 years, on and off? Mostly off. I think it took me like 6 years to make it to level 12, and then they changed the experience table. Something like that. It's all kind of blurry.

It does make me wonder how many other people here have rocked a 300 bps modem on an old apple 2. My PC had a 2400. Yeah, that's right, bitch. Then when 28.8 became available, I bought it. That, and I think my first 1 GB hard drive if I remember correctly. Everything was amazing, then.

This thread was posted because I more or less was just reminded how old I am now. Wasn't in any way trying to flex e-peen based on registration date so I hope no one took it that way.

On the flip side, at least he was never associated with Haashek.

I forgot the password for my old profile (Edaarin), but it's been nine years. Yikes. At least I'm not 30 yet...

I was an admin on The Spot for a short while now that I think about it. Off Topic folder.

Did you go by a different name there? I modded the Ranger folder and a couple others.

Shit, talking about The Spot...I remember when I first found out about this place from there, then lurked for years before sharing WAY too much information about my divorce...4 years ago. Holy shit where did the time go?

For those of you getting all nostalgic about modems. You should know. Most top level business still keep modems all over the place. They are useful for tech support to dial in and fix things while broadband is down. Which statistically happens multiple times a day if your business is spread all over the country. And yes everytime I hear it screech it reminds of gemstone for some reason.
