Who remembers them? I remember making a post about my 500th post and everybody was like "SHUT UP! YOU SUCK!"

Although somebody showered me with confetti....

I gave lisbeth a woodchuck.

Because she asked nicely.

She joined a bit after me and soon had gobs more posts than I did.

And I made my first post in the german forum.

That's about all I remember.

I joined before all of you*. I remember the first Face cult. The chat room. llama joining. Discovering the odd ranks that you all now know so well. Politics and Culture. Anything Goes. Education. Lots more.

I remember "Weblog of a Serial Killer". My precise words were "what the fuck is this site?"

*excluding Ben, Owen, Pixie, Brian, Sickness, and Nicole

i remember that Scott used to suck............

or is it i remember when i didn't?

i dunno. i remember something, really, i do

Nuke is an old man who remembers nothing. :)

I remember that article. I never visited the chat.

I lurked for a while to get a feel for the place (something I'd done on the JQML and to a much greater extent on TFS,) but then I started to like several members. AD was continually insulting them and it was grating on me. I noticed two of his posts outright contradicted each other, and went from there.

For the next 100 or so posts I basically tried to point out that he was an idiot and tried to get to know Poppy and Dollie, both of who disliked each other but who I was smitten with. Poppy's intial post had asked if anyone from FS was here...so I said that I was, and she IMed me, and history was born. Dollie IMed me first too, I think, thinking I was Jesus.

She taught me that I shouldn't just accept bad things when my friends did them in my first big online argument ever. Unfortunately, Heidi hates that aspect of my personality greatly and most of my other arguments have centred around how much of a twat I am.

Heidi said that she was a little intimidated by how smart I was and liked me. Absolutely fucking mint. I just remembered this, take that Heidi.

(ps I love you don't be mean ;()

This was also when I spent 14 pages or so of very long posts arguing with AD because he was being insulting towards Dollie, (the subject matter was ridiculous, to be frank, and had I been in the slightest bit intelligent or rational I would have recognised how completely idiotic both our arguments were.)

During the post-a-thon I got pissed at Nukelavee, who continually irritated the fuck out of me and I know exactly why. Mags and Scott irritated me too, although I can't remember why. I also insulted Eddie, (he posted "this topic is gay" in a homosexual thread and Dollie and I called him immature...oh how times have changed,) and he was nice to me, and I eventually got a lot of respect for religion and for him. Diane I only have vague memories of. MG was rather ...well, not bright, and I only started thinking he or she was particularly smart lately.

I left for a while as things became boring, to come back (FS had died,) to find some guy who Mizu knows called Sturgmangriff or something similar, Sushi, and a rash of newbies had been complete assholes to AD, leading to his leaving. Consequently the Rum Monkeys had created a new set of rules, and I stuck around for a while.

AD returned for a post, announcing how proud he was that I still hard a "hard on" for him, despite me NOT MENTIONING HIS NAME EVER. I had started to miss him, because I'm not bright. I did miss him from then on until his eventual return.

I then got into my groove, and posted like an FSer on here. It was fun, I was starting to like most of you. I got to know a few more members, although I can't remember which ones. I suspect Diane and CD were a couple of them. This was when my tummy became Angela's avatar, because Dollie's a bitch. :D Heidi joined around this time, and I tried to break up arguments between Dollie and Heidi until both of them got seriously pissed off at me. I got into serious debate posting again. Jon joined and I bounced between liking him and being annoyed at him. He was smart and articulate, which was why I defended him on the odd occasion, although we rarely agreed (I believe his first insult towards me was "I bet youre a liberal from the way youre arguing".) I started actually researching before posting because of him. I'm severely disappointed with what he's like now and I have no idea what the catalyst was.

I started hating chookie.

But anyway, things coasted along, serious debate got furious, with me and Gregor usually squaring off against MG (who hadn't yet had the intelligence epiphany,) and Jon. Owen (who was clearly trying to debate specific points he was either unclear on or which proved the case for him outright,) and Nukelavee occasionally got involved but largely debates were amongst us. They were kinda heated but a lot of fun. Jon's bullshitting was really tame at this point, I believe he was only caught out a couple of times and usually his points were relevent and well sourced. It was a really interesting time and I learned a lot.

I started to like Pixiebean, in spite of her personality being...ah, incongruent with the people I usually like. :D I had also started to absolutely adore and idolise Ben and Owen.

The next few months are a haze. Probably boredom and Sushi spamming, I know that compared to AD's coming tirade it was almost stomachable. Ben asks me to become a moderator, I agreed because I like pseudo power and feeling important.

AD returns, and the forum is swamped by his spam. I get bored and sick of him calling for me to be moderated, but keep fairly polite. As time wore on I got more and more pissed off and eventually sunk to his level. I was bored of the forums and he killed off most friendly banter and debate, so I was going to leave.

And I did, for a while. I completely left R&M alone unless Heidi or Poppy linked me to things they found funny. It was during one of these links that I found AD actually trying to argue that something the rum monkeys said, posted, or had placed as a title ("Christian right" or something) broke the T&C and that he should be allowed too aswell. His argument was completely off the wall and he was raving badly, regardless of what was actually said to him, so I argued with him and he was eventually banned, so I returned.

More recent times.

The End.

Jesus. You have a good memory.

[s]

I just wish I could remember things between then and now...

(listens from the rafter, in awe) So that's who that guy was... Atomic Dog had a cool avatar.

Fascinating. I feel so... educated now. Thank ya, Schmitt.

I was going to mention remembering him, but that kinda goes without saying.

[s]

me, irritating?

you carrot fucker!!!!

heh.

and yes, i remember the AD days........and the waves of newbies, and hanging out on the chat with llama and spoons.......

oddly - even though he has ever so many posts, i can't remember a single thing Scott has ever posted.

and i remember all of sushi's ageist rants.........

I remember when I first came here and the Pictures thread was just making it into the 100's, and they had the old logo for a little while and I was confused at first as to where the forum was until I found a little link on the corner, right by the 5 most recently posted threads.
I remember I came before Jon, and I didn't know who he was for a long time because he posted mainly in Serious Debate and nowhere else, so I didn't really care.
Umm..I remember the Face Cult, the Wench Cult, and llama talking about green shoes a lot.
I remember everybody always tried to get me into the chat in the web site and it really just annoyed me a lot because it lagged like hell so I never came in. Schmitty I remember him making a lot of posts about sheep and great arguments between him and AD. Mags I remember because she's "my twin". I remember when either Archer or Arturus joined in and within two weeks they had more posts than I had and I'd been posting for a few months.
Um, then there were a few arguments on "who was the hottest"..I think CD won. Him or Poppy. Or maybe they were the judges.
I remember when AD started his ridiculous "saixing" of everybody, and he had a bit of a tag on for me, wanting to see me topless or some shit like that.
Then Green joined.
At first she annoyed me a huge bit because she became a Female Sushi spamwise, then I sort of ignored her for a while, and now I'm just used to her. Same reason for IamMe. Right now I just hit the "read" button on random spleen so I'm good.

I remember when Heidi poked fun at everybody and they all got offended for a good while...I got annoyed, then amused, then even more amused when Happy Otter came aboard.
Then...boring shit happened. Sushi spammed to see the next rank.
Then more boring shit.
Then I went off to BCT.
And now I'm back.

I remember when there was a chatroom. Anything Goes. The "Pictures of People" and "what are you listening to?" threads in their very beginnings. The "Which Colossal Death Robot are you?" test convincing me to join. Llamalove actually meaning something. Only 400 or so members. Those were the days.

I remember when I joined Scoott and Uberr had just married, and for a while I thought they were really married. Then I started actually reading the forums. Also I thought Berserk Sushi was a mature woman. No clue why.

The night I joined llama and I had conversations in every topic. Soon after that there was a chatroom.

I haven't been here long at all :'( I am such a newbie.

When I first joined I introduced myself as Kat and Cat! and I got into a big long schpeel about it...

and archer called me m'lady and I couldn't ever remember his name so I called him "The M'lady Man".

I can't remember anything else though.

*edit* I remember that I posted in italics for the LONGEST time, and everyone was yelling at me and was super pissed. Still can't remember why. I stopped because... well... I don't remember why.

oh I just remembered a big long argument that I had with sushi over living in a city vs. living in the country.

I think that was the longest debate I was in.

i remember living in glendinning. apart from the company, i'm glad i don't any more :>

UM...I don't remeber like anything!

hehe, i remember that i didn't know how to do anything so i pestered heidi until she would just stop talking to me completely after saying "GO FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF KARLEE!" and i was alone and sad and.. well, lost... (not much has changed except the alone part because here, i feel loved... : o )

and then, i figured out where to look for other peoples information... and i found Scott.. and i thought he seemed like he knew everything so, one night i im'd him... and he showed me..."the way" and from then on, well... *shrug*

:D

[s]

Scott... do you realize... you were like my jeeeeeeesus!

OMGOODNESS!

Lets see... I found R&M by following a link in Margarita's live journal and then I sticked around. I posted how we went to the same school and then when she found out who I was she told everyone my name despite my plan to at least get to know everyone first.

My first post wasn't in introductions, but eventually I did do an intro. Not sure if I was told to or not. I remember opposing LB on some point and having him make some display of power in my general direction. Scott sent me a PM to find his address and had to basically hold my hand in the process of finding it because I was a gimp. I did manage to find his site though. I thought Heidi was a complete bitch (which I told Maggie, which she promptly told Heidi) and I thought that macgyver had a cool avatar. Quickly made friends with Green when I offered (and did) send her a bottle of Mountain Dew: Code Red since Uber was (is) a Code Red fiend.

That is all I really remember about the first month or so I was here. Have not been around all that long really.
