mbken: Thanks for the great memories guys. I recognized many names mentioned. I remembered a couple myself. SummerUK, tunnelwary (funniest man I have ever encountered), Dez, TennesseeJudy, the Kansan, mickeyscouser...I remember the people but not their usernames.
I wish I could remember more. So many great people were on CS and today's CS has many great people too.
Mickyscouse married mindful and moved over to the US. He visited me one day, really nice guy. SummerUK was really funny, lovely lady also. We met up a couple of times. She and trish123 (an old friend of mine who introduced me to cs in 2006) went over to stay at Morgans another member on here who lived in the Canary Islands. They made a thread about it....The CS Three, it was hilarious.
This is how it used to be on here. People were meeting up, plenty formed relationships, some got married. Also there were lots of meets, some of them very well attended. For a few years cs was like a big community, full of colourful characters. Many good friendships around the world were formed through the forums.....it really was quite different back then.

Totally agree Bodleing with your sentiments above. I talk to SummerUK and we have visited each other over the years. I visited TennesseeJudy's husband who passed away and he was the salt of the Earth. I remember when Morgan had SummerUK and Trish at her place in the Canaries. I met a couple of others in person back when.
Times are very different now but still an enjoyable bunch to read and comment.

I remember those names well..I was very good friends with Trish..I rarely go to fb but unless she's deleted from fb she should be on my friends list.
jac_the_gripper: Jailed so many times I'd have to take my shoes and socks off to count and banned once. I didn't create a new profile to get round it, so found I could reactivate my profile after six months.
Some of was justified, but much was misinterpretation, so I've played it straight-faced since then.
American culture can be very different from British. Aussies, Canadians and Brits have more similarities.
Omg, yes Jac, I remember very well... I was also often jailed, and ending banned.
Yes, Trish the Christian fundamentalist slayer. They used to flood the forums with their preaching. Trish mercilessly hunted them down and gave them no quarter....

jac_the_gripper: I remember Trish as being lovely.
She is, we've been close friends since the early seventies but she had issues with the Christian fundamentalist that were flooding the forums at the time. She's very knowlegable and would fight them with facts and comprehensively debunk much of their bible bashing without resorting to name calling or nastiness. She did like a tipple or two though.
