i remember when you posted in forum games alot when i joined i dont remember the name but the avatar was a hippy vw van i might be wrong but i pretty sure it was you
I did post a lot in there back then but I can't remember what my avatar was. It might have been a hippy van lol sounds like something I would choose.
I had the purple hair avatar. she was cute. I have tried to find it but I can't, it had the night time sky as her background and I thought it was pretty much me all over lol. Well except for the purple hair I probably had red hair when I joined. Damn 8 years ago who knows what I was doing lol. I went on that big trip with friends, my hair was black.
I remember using the forum in 2009 because it was the first year I stopped wearing shoes and in my enthusiastic internet searching I found the barefeeting subforum, but I didn't stay long. When I rejoined this year I recognised quite a few of you.
I been in here going on 7 years so probley..i do take frequent Leaves of Absence 's though from time to time.
i'm 70 years old. i'm not in perfect health, but i don't have any major parts falling off. soo, another 8 years, if this place is still here, probably. i won't call even two years certain though. mom made it to 91, which i guess isn't unusual any more, dad was gone to dust just about the age i am now. he had problems with heart and diabetic, though i know nothing of his parents generation's health, as they were both gone before i was born, and i've never met any members of his family.
Thread Started 2009.....I Was Here Then.....And 9 Years Later I'm Still Here.....Your'e Not Getting Rid Of Me That Easily..... Cheers Glen.

next time a job interviewer asks me where i see myself in 10 years, my answer will be "trolling the barefoot forum."
I've been here since 2002 (Hippy.com). In 2005 I was in the chat room a lot as Yanker McShanker. But in 2006 the system changed and you had to be a registered member to use the chat room (thanks to spammers and other assorted assholes). So I used this name from my AOL account. I was in a chat room there for over a decade called Life - Marijuana Debate, an AOL-created room. But it fell into ruin as porn bots and other spammers made the room useless. Complaints to AOL fell on deaf ears, so we figured they were in on the shit. Sure enough, AOL tanked. The lesson there is: "Don't shoot yourself in the foot by trying to squeeze every last penny from the users". Thankfully we don't have that shit here. We don't have spyware sniffing our asses either. Skip is God as far as I'm concerned (and I'm not worthy). He tolerates an amazing amount of shit, but sticks to some rules like glue. So we don't have the creeping problems I have seen with other services since Compuserve. And I think that's why Hip Forums is still here. Sure you could say it's the members, but without the oversight an independent operation like this provides, even the best array of members will eventually crash and burn. Skip's leadership has been an inspiration to me personally, I'll do anything I can for this place (though I'm limited to reporting spammers and a few assorted turds). One thing I was able to contribute was a novel I worked on since 1995, I hope the hippies of the future like it. It's a tale of the past, the 70s. I hope to be posting here from my deathbed folks. I fucking LOVE this place.
I have been posting on this forum awhile. At least 10 years. Don’t know the exact time. That was about 20 to 30 usernames ago
