Hehehe.... wow I joined nearly a year ago now... never thought i'd make great friends on here.... was just bored and typed "Hippy" in the search engine! Still never visited any other forums... (except the Fender Forum cos Mike made me ) I joined last July.... looks like this was my first thread ever http://www.hipforums.com/viewarchive.php3?FID=40&TID=117978&year=2003 Ahhhh memories It seems like years ago!! When did you guys join? and why? Love Learning and Freedom Clairexxx p.s. MUD slushy loveliness
hehehe check this song out that Power_13 performed and posted on Christmas Day 2002 http://mysite.freeserve.com/power13/santa.mp3
Heh, I also typed hippy into google That was 2 years and 3 months ago Aww I miss those forums, don't think these ones are nearly as addictive
I think I was looking for a domain name for a new site ... I can't even remember what the site was going to be about, I still haven't done it anyway
Its all a blur now! It was over 2 years ago though I think. Or is it 3 No i think its 2. Anyway, I found it through Hippy.com which my mate had sent me a link to. Don't remember signing up or anything, just suddenly I was posting here all the time like I'd been here my whole life....crazy! I don't remember why or how I started posting here, but I'm so glad I did. When we were at Glasto and we were sat at Stone Cirle and that lovely guy from Castle Cary came over, and Sal told him about the forums, did anyone else just suddenly think "woah, if it wasn't for that one site on the internet, I would not have met any of these amazing people? My life would be completely different". I know me and Moonie did for sure. It was a strange feeling. Thank you Skip if you read this You rock.
4 years ago now. i was having a particularly crappy day in an office job i have since ditched and just typed in www.hippy.com for no reason at all....
Yea i found it throught Jaz. He told me about it and i joined and never looked back. i was very quiet for the first year, went to one peace march but generally just browsed and didnt post often, i had made friends with a few of the forumers like sunny and dandy and gone to Sunnys Party then almost a year ago (a few months before me and moonie got together i think) i started posting a lot more and in this last year ive become a total addict :S so must be coming up to 2 years now i think... maybe i miss calculated and it was only a year but i think it was two. aaah back in the days!! And year Mercy i think the same quite often ive met so many close friends here and falen totally inlove with people on here (in friend ways and more) and to think i could never have had those experiances, memories and friends.... wow ..thats a scary thought. Thanks Skip! Thanks Jaz! Thanks Sal And thank you to all the people who have meant a lot to me over the last 2 months who i met on here, Dandy, Moonie, Sal, Claire, Sunny, Josie and more recently people like Eryka, Rich, Power, Ellie, Jaycee, Kev. Youve all brought shining lights into my life and i dont know what i'd do without you all.
I can't really remeber why I joined My friend Jack gave me the link though he has never posted here I dont think. I remember that I read the forums for quite a while before I actually signed up. That was on the 4th October 2003
Hehehe, I thought exactly the same thing. I also felt it a few months ago when some of us were at Faslane as well. Someone asked me how we all knew each other and I said off a message board called HipForums. It is all very weird...and slightly adult
i must admit i am shocked by how much i love this place and by the wonderful friendships iv made... in a totally judging way i ashamed to say i totally would have laughed at any of my friends who said they made friend with poeple on an internet site..but now i totally think differently...i love hipforums..it has brought beautiful people into my life...in fact, sometimes i think i love it too much!! it does feel weird to explain to people that i met my friends on the net but hey...we live in a modern society and this is a new way of meeting people..it works obviously, coz we have all made great friendships on here. however, when i told my pastor i was moving to stay on a barge with two friends i met off the net in august..he didnt seem so sympathetic...hes got it in his head that im running of to join the circus hahahaha! which in sum ways i suppose i am
Nahh. I'm sure I'd have developed an internet addiction and done nothing but sit around the house all day either way.
I've been lurking around these forums in one way or another since about December 1999 I think... Damn, it does feel like that long ago too.. lol It's been interesting seeing all the changes... I don't think there was even a UK forum when I first came here those many moons ago...
