My best memory was back in 05 when I first made my old account.
My bestfriend had moved away in 03 to his dads house and didnt get to say bye to anybody.
I never had heard from him again and didnt have anyway to contact him.
Then I had a reply to a post I made and he posted a picture of himself asking if I recognize him.
It was my bestfriend I had lost a couple years back and he actually only lived a couple cities away, best forum experience by far

 

And those bloody commies. Every pidgeon had to be interogated if it spent anytime over red air space

This thread is forever emblazoned in my mind. Why did I keep coming back?

 

Good one.

I remember that.

 

lol....

no, can't say I have ever tried to spit into my urine. My son likes to pee in the bathtub and aim it at the wall n stuff. Ended up getting some in his mouth the other day. Was hilarious...but yea that's a habit I am trying to break. lol!

I have a lot of weird hf memories....hm, will try to think of one to post later...

 

Oh God, YFM, I remember that thread about masturbating a cat. Vividly. Ewww.

And of course there was always that thread about having sex w a couch. That one was legendary.

 

Well only you two know the full story. But I wouldn't go overboard and start attacking yourself repeatedly over it. OK so you two became friendly/went on a date/whatever. She was in a relationship, with someone you say was abusive. How much you were friends or dating isn't clear. Maybe you were too pushy in expecting more dates. Maybe she was ambigious in her intentions or didn't even know what she wanted. Nor is it clear how much you were friends in any way. And finally, why was she going out with you if this other guy was, as you say "abusive"?

However, I think she should have been open afterwards with you. Ignoring your texts wasn't good. Nor should people just bin friendships that are "no longer convenient". If there's one type of people I really dislike its those that "commoditise" friendship ie people who see it as a stepping stone/avenue to benefits for them, without any responsibility on their side.

Personally, I like loyal friends, not people who are fickle. Infact, fickle people repulse me. (As for whether you two were friends and not "incidental daters", I can't see from what you said). And as an aside, sometimes people who are from abusive relationships become abusers themselves.

I tend to categorise my friends. Work, friend of friend, casual acquaintance, dates, regular dates, friendly, close friends etc. I wouldn't break off a close friendship without exceptional circumstances. And I always try and be respectful/appropriate with "lower level" friends.

This isn't nec a criticism of the other person. I think I spoke to her a few times, and she seemed fine. I'm just expressing my views. But I also think sometimes people are hard on themselves, because they find it easier to stomach that, than accept someone else had behaved badly.

 

I never said her boyfriend was abusive.He wasn't.he was just a bit flaky.

 

^You make some useful insights,but I let her go without to much of a do because she was a relatively vulnerable single Mum.I wasn't trying to "groom" her with sexual conquest being the main objective,and for the time we were communicating it was a very real and a significant if short lived kind of internet relationship.I realise and take full cognisance of that now.

 

Could it of been the member Trauma He liked making gifs of pictures he would find on hips.....he hasn't been on in a long time n he is also a older guy

 

That name doesn't sound familiar but it probably was cuz I think he did make a lot of gifs. Also wanted to clarify that I don't think the guy was deathly old, just older than me, since I was only 18 in 2004.

 

The strangest situation on the board that I can remember was when a member "passed away" and people were shocked and expressed sympathy. She later arose from the dead and was posting again. Was really weird, let alone awkward for a long time.
