    Well I think we all have mostly positive experience on this forum.
    Long may it continue.

    Someone asked me to contribute to this thread, unfortunately I can't remember much about the years gone by.

    I joined a long time ago, so long ago I once actually sent a letter* to Skip.
    Everything was dial up.
    No sign in, no avatars, no emojis, no pictures, no likes and dislikes, no banning (it wasn't possible). It was a free for all.
    Here's an early look from Oct. 18, 1999. If you click the link...some of the pages are still active.

    Here's the earliest page I can find with my name March, 1, 2001. This was after you had to register. Again many links are still active.

    Looking around I see names of people that have disappeared, The Bricklayer, LotusIndia, sydburnz, StellaBlue, Moving_Cloud, Chinadoll, Peace-Phoenix, oldwolf, etc. Wonder where they went?

    I believe Aron Kay, the Yippie Pieman was on here for awhile.

    Crikey how things have changed.
    I remember when this site broke down.
    It took me to HIP planet.
    I was so confused.
    I think it happened when Skip was changing servers.
    Lots of weird stuff happened.
    See even I have memories now.
    Mind you I do live here a lot. Lol

    Yeah, we broke down a few times!
    Got attacked once.

    A side note: The Bricklayer claimed to be one of the models for Dutchboy paint. I assume the 1947 version.

    Find it somewhat ironic that Dutch Boy paints was founded by The National Lead Company

    Memories eh? I have seen some things on this forum I have to say. lol

    I remember the bad attack by a certain member as she got banned.
    It was when I first started my beach party thread.

    I remember that too Gal.
    But then that is one of the things I really do like and is a credit to this forum.
    Trolls are frowned upon and when found out are out.
    No ifs no buts.
    OUT!
    End of!

    Wow....what can I say.
    Awesome site with amazing range of forums to satisfy every taste.
    OK I must admit in the beginning I was looking for bi/gay forums to explore but HF has opened so many other doors of interest.
    I must give a huge shout out to the most amazing woman on here.. Yes you know who you are.....the one and only ...CANDY GAL...for taking me under her wing and guiding me and introducing me to some really great people on here.
    Love to you all. Xxx

    Thank you very much for a very nice post Greyfox, and I agree with you with everything you say, particularly in respect of Candy Gal.
    I have been on forums with Gal for over 8 years and she has never really changed at all.

    Regarding your name there.
    Do I know you from a previous forum?
    Because your name rings a bell :)

    Thanks for reply Greyfox.
    The thing is with this forum is that it is very diverse with very nice and helpful and interesting people and a very good age range.
    There is only one person on the whole forum I don’t really get on with, but as in any aspect of life and human beings.
    There is always one! :laughing:

    Boozy you are thinking of another person. This Grey fox is foxy to me.

    I KNOW who you are thinking of.
