McFuddy on the weekends...

 

We will just invade serbia again for the hell of it then

 

i'm not sure i believe that. i didn't think custom avatars were really available until a few years ago?

ugh, you're such a noob.

really, she was here all the time back during hipforums' glory days.

 

he could have been a supporter his first year

i dont know about 2004 because i wasnt here but in 2008 custom avatar was definitely a supporter perk ,,,and the avatar probably stayed on after the year he paid ran out

 

Oh well.

 

I think you had to be a paying member for a custom avatar. I'd love to see the purple hair again, I've searched Google but could never find it again.

I forget what a lot of people had as their avatars now.

 

Dial up internet. I never want to hear that sound again.

Bleep.budududududududup bleepweeeeeerwawwwwwww

 

you're going back a bit too far there. i had real internet before i ever discovered hipforums.

 

2004 was still dial up territory wasnt it.

Maybe i was just cheap

 

i think you were just cheap.

i actually found this site in 2003, but i was in college where everybody had that "ethernet" thing. by the time i graduated in 2006 cable internet was definitely the norm.

 

I was a good person until I joined HF.

 

i was a good person until you joined HF.

 

Oh boy, when I lived with my parents, the arguments with my mom in regards to this site.

 

How old were you when you joined here @guerillabedlam ?

 

I was in my 20's but I moved back in with the parents after college for a couple years.

 

So what didnt they like about this site, the drug culture?

 

I think that was the primary reason, iirc we had a scrolling pot banner at the time which is how they discovered it. From there on, pretty much identified by the purple-ness.


I don't know if they really scanned the threads all that closely.

 

Overall i became better when i partook in forums. It was the feedback especially the negative feedback i received and developing a better understanding and tolerance of a wider diversity of view points.

Before 2011 i never knew forums existed.
