wonlongpong: I'd love to stay and play but some of us actually go out into the real world and mingle with proper people.

Y'all should try it sometime.

Ciao.
What's that a night out in Newcastle is it?

bodleing2: Right now that's hard to imagine, but you're right, the forums were a great place to meet and talk to many people from around the world.
Lots of friendly banter, the occasional odd ball but a real feeling of community sprit. Many lifelong friendships were made on cs.
I'm just so glad I was around back then and grateful for the many I met and many I'm still in touch with.
But all things must come to an end.

But it certainly was fun back in the day.
I agree. I remember you from those days, you would remember me from those days but I went away for a while and changed my profile name and pic. No, I don't have more than one profile, btw.

Culture, Pedro's Twin. I'd be surprised if you could spell it, let alone understand it.

P.S. Winning.

jono7: hiya Friskyone

i, too, remember.
the forums were synergistic, and i can remember on several occasions laughing till i cried. nights when 20-30 folks were posting rapidly on a forum, while other forums discussed interesting subjects and views that showcased some brilliant minds and could go on for days. and while folks did not always agree, they agreed to hear each other out without disrespect.

You're exactly right thumbs up

It used to be like that years ago on DH, and before that on M2. Often times the forums moved so fast, it was tough to keep up. Now, DH is no longer, and M2 sucks donkey balls.

Yeah, it's too bad you registered for CS when it's almost at it's worst. There were so many people participated. Some topics were fun, educational, debatable, etc. People spent so much time, late nights just to keep up with the topics.grin

Good times back then on all forum sites, to be sure. It's all but impossible to find a site with forums anymore. Most sites don't have 'em anymore. I was lucky to be told about these, but these? Most times, I can read War And Peace between times of postings.

Pros about this site: forums, and unlimited quoting.

Cons: no forum catagories, and not much participation.

[ I can read War And Peace between times of postings.I finally read every pages of it.
It took 10 days from 7 am till midnight except bathroom trips and meal time.
So disappointed. It is definitely over-praised piece of work.
Too many predictable coincidences with poorly structured plots.
More like TV series 'Dallas'.

But I did it!
