This you, Twig. You nutter. It's like having someone come up to you with video tapes of conversations you had while drunk at parties two years ago. I like it!

Welcome back - sticking around for a bit?

Ah, nostalgia. Nice to see the old Revolution - it's just a shame we can't get into any of the threads...

Whatever happened to basic, venus, Chimichanga and JigglyThug? Did they become other people or are they gone forever?

Check out some of the topic headings in the old Core (Conversation now) - 'Anyone for threesomes? .... Tiresias, Zenith, LONDON folks esp...' - how little we've all changed...

Oh, hang on, you can get into some of the old threads... sadly not that one though. You can however get into 'Spunky Monkey' and see that the Barbelith level of silliness was ever thus. Off to hunt some more...

I'm sorry but this is the most disturbing site I've come across in ages. It's just plain embarrassing.

Try searching for your own home page. I dare you.

Sorry Sax, I don't have much time to hang out here these days. I'm still reading you all though, if not contributing.

Oh God. The Inspiration (now the Creation) is full of all kinds of memories. The Cocksmoker Manifesto. 100 Bullets (not that one). Writer's Blog. <wipes tear from eye>

I have to say: there was a fuck of a lot more thread-rot back in those days. I mean, Jesus. It's nice to know we've grown as a community in some ways at least...

cocksmoker: such an "anti-fanzine", it never got done...

Just been reading the Orbital thread. December 1999. Fuck! Nostalgia rushing my head.

Oh. My. Fuck.
Even I remember some of that shit, and I still feel like a rookie around here.

I'd forgotten about Unca Biz sharing out his muffins.

That's my favouritest thread ever ever.

And is it just me, or does the old layout have one of the harshest, most eye-straining colour schemes around? Too much white. This grey stuff's much easier to live with.

By the way, in light of the current situation regarding bandwidth, this seems to have come from some strange alternate reality.

This thread invokes such a surreal sense of nostalgia...

Thing is, that version really doesn't seem that long ago to me. Surely the 'Golden Age' was when we had a Supercollective from which regular members could lord it over the newbies? The paddlin' was fun...

Remember that Sir William Gull? He was such a right-on guy.. I wonder what happened to him..

Oh my God. From back when I was lurking again, and during my whisky-soaked-I-hate-me period!

Ganesh; One of the links here actually dumps straight into a supercollective thread.. Go figure..

This is too sweet. We'd have mor regular updates on that site if I hadn't turned off the search-engine spidering, which seemed to be adding to the bandwidth costs.

I'm (Basic) still here. Several name changes later though...

Cheers to Tom.

Taking a look back truly makes one realize how far this forum has come.

Thank you for this space to work in.

Honestly.

´La la la´? What the fuck? I don´t remember posting that. It defintely puts forward a compelling case for me being a manic depressive...
