Nice to see everyone is alive and well

That's called "being a conservative".

Stop trying to pretend you're cool.

Marx is a conservative compared to you.

Now I'm still a Republican, just more in the stripes of Rudy Giuliani or Arnold Schwarzenegger rather than B-1 Dornan. Imran, I remember when you were a teenager, now you must be 30. Darkcloud, I remember you wrote a history of, well, history049. And finally, it's pretty funny how a lot of grown up people were offended by a 13 year old kid posting garbage (yes, I was 13 at the time, now 23). Oh yeah does Giancarlo ever post these days? Me and him also had a nice relationship.

Giancarlo bugged out around... 2004/5 was it? (My OT-time has been severely limited for the past few years)

He took increasing amounts of flack. He eventually changed his user name to Fez.

Generally though, everyone old drops by from time to time- Lazarus and the Gimp drops by to say hello, panag popped up a few times, as did ottok... ...

Of the people long-gone who are missed- Alexander's Horse no longer seems to frequent here, neither does MikeH, or a bunch of the old ACOLers.

Stefu drops in from time to time, from what I understand. And I see Dominikos once every 9 months or so.

Empress has not been seen in ages. Urban Ranger pops in every few months.

And Oh yes, the apolyton 100- those were good times. Glad you remember that.

I don't think I realized you were quite as young back then, I had always taken you for being in your early 20s in 2001.

My, how we all have aged

And yet, we're all as immature on here as ever.

Imran was a kid when he started coming here. Now he's all grown up.

Imran went dirty commie on us. And became a lawyer. We're not sure which is worse.

And then I went dirty lawyer. And THEN I went Polycast co-host (vote for us in the Podcast awards, kthx!)

I posted here in the site's early days, over 10 years ago from the beginning of 98 to maybe 2000 or so, returning briefly a couple years later. It was a lot of fun. Nice to see that many of the same names from a decade ago are still here. I'm not returning, just wanted to say hi.

Please stay.

Certainly does bring back memories. I remember urban ranger was from china and interested in business/investing?

MrFun was buddies with redjon (Speaking of which,w here is redjon?)

And Monk? The nihilist, or at least he was in 98. How about Colon? The Belgian moderate leftist?

I do recall when I returned from 01-02 or so, Imran had become democrat, no longer carrying a picture of Rush Limbaugh as his avatar like he did when he was 17 in 98. So he's been like Arianna Huffington for nearly a decade now, no?

Remember Michael Jezcenka? He was about 16 or 17 in 98 as well, conservative kid from LA. He had a buddy who posted with him, maetro or something.

Derek? The other 30 something LA conservative man?

Michaelthegreat, the moderator who banned me for a week?

The Bostonian teenage couple who were freaked out by me (more so in 01-02 rather than 98-99)?

Lordstone from 98-99, remember? and eli and yoav from 01-02, Israelis.

It is nice to stop by the very first forum I ever joined. Shows how much the Internet has aged when you can say you've been at a forum for over a decade.

[History049]

Speak of the devil, hello Colon, hows life? I've missed you so very much. Just kidding, but good to see you anyway. Maybe I will stay as a moderately inactive member. But I'm not getting into flamethrowing debates anymore like 98-99 (poop jokes) and 01-02 (Eurocom).

In a sense staying and posting again would show a transformation from a firebomb troll to a placid peacemaker. (98 vs 08) I'm much more boring now though, I'll warn you that much.

Limbaugh?!

[History049]

Remember you had him as your avatar picture in 98? Come on, you do. Wait, you're still a Republican? I'm confused - I thought you went left after Bush got elected.

Where is End is Forever (great Civ 2 mod maker) and Asher?

Are you confusing him with the Reagan picture I had?

Not liking Bush and jumping headfirst into the lefty pool are two vastly different things.

[History049]

I just recall Limbaugh, I could very well be wrong about this but there was an older, conservative white male as your avatar circa 98.

Why not? Everybody does poop(-like) jokes now.
