1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Were there germaphobes before we discovered germs?

    Thats a very interesting concept. Maybe the fear manifested itself differently.

    Probably not. But instead perhaps they were paranoid and obsessive about something else, their minds predestined for such behavior no matter what.

    probably... but the germaphobes didn't know what they were afraid of yet.
