I remember way back in the day
I joined CS and there was only the International forums. I don't recall how long until the AU forum kicked into play but I reckon I was the first person to make a thread, if not, definately the second. It feels like forever ago (it probably was lol)
No one made me feel unwelcome, I thought it was a great place, well the international ones were as they were active lol.. AU ones were soooooooooo slow for a while.
I remember early days of the forums there was HELLO YOU, DRAGONDOG, BBW AND IT'S MANY ALIAS, RIVAME, BOURBON, KIDATHEART AND GO GIRL. These are names that I can think of right now, so if I forgot, don't shoot me
A few extra popped up, like Kizzy, Tina, Jimi etc and it was like it went from 10 to 100 in days.. probably didn't but it was the constant threads and posts that was amazing! The site came to life..
Anyway, this post came to mind after someone msg'd me here asking why such and such is a bitch, which made me think, well we are all cranky at times and opinionated so sometimes some of us will clash. But then I was reflecting on the past and I don't think I have even been made unwelcome. Too bad if u tried, it didn't work.
I feel really farking old now.. fancy admiting I have been in the Aus forums from day one hahahahha
So how many years ago was that
Rivame so that was her pseudonym. I'd forgotten. So where is Grandma these days (Ducks quickly just in case she's reading)
You forgot Jess. There was someone you had to respect. Beauty brains and beliefs. When she went into battle (and she did often) she went armed. She could lay her hands on facts figures and quote where she got them from. There was no arguing with her without looking like a complete prat.
And you Rivame and jess were the complete entertainment package.And each with their own experiences combined to give well rounded entertainment. The guys never stood a chance. No Bourbon you would of been whistling in the wind as well. But isn't it amazing that few Guys are remembered. Boubon because he is here still and me and Hello you (because we were nice puddings, We played nicely) Even I can't recall the guys from the past. But since I'm chasing females I'm excused i hope. But there were a couple in your early days Purple (something) can you recall him.
But alas poor lou I think you should have more mens names in that memory list of yours. They can't of all been absolute prats with the mental age of 5. I bet theres one secret your not telling us from all those years
But I have never felt unwelcome Rivame and yourself eased me in. Jess kept me on the straight and narrow. I Pissed the odd person off in internationals but they pissed me off to. Learnt never to defend Hitler. That caused some shit. But then we went through our first Connecting Singles clear out. When many innocents (Well not as guilty) people were refused membership. Poor Jess amongst them. That was a sad episode.
