Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Haven't been here since sometime in 2005. Hope everyone is doing well.

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Another ghost drifting back from the mists of time. Are you the ghost of VBF past, come to haunt us in this run up to the holidays with messages of our misspent youth? Will there be two others, heaping derision on our wicked ways until we see the light and offer some holiday cheer to woebegone moderators like DDay and Funky?

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Don't think you could get much older.
According to one url metric site, "The domain is 15 years and 2 months old.", and apparently that may have been based on an update date of 30 April 2015.
By my math, that would seem that the earliest you could join the forum in the current domain would have been around Feb. 2000, so I assume the forum itself is older than the current domain address being used.

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
There was something about the Big Crash, which happened somewhere back in the early days before my time. People were still talking about it plenty when I joined, because some people had lost thousands off of meager post counts. Dillinger probably knows all about that...though memory may be fading.

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Hi Dillenger, V-LTNS.
I first appeared under my current moniker on this forum in October 1999, if I remember correctly. Before that I had a short-lived prior account from April of that year. I think the forum was called vbworld and owned by jupitermedia or something. Then I was banned a couple of times and then there was the tapeworm salesman guy.

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
I remember MartinLiss. I also remember Megatron, Bonker Gudd, Corned Bee, Guv, kedaman, parksie, mendhak and a bunch of others but I haven't seen any of them around yet except for Bonker Gudd.

Well from what I've read, hack is searching for mendhack and parksie committed suicide. I would find the thread, but I'm on my phone.

Haven't seen Mega in a LOOOOONG time... Bonker is still around from time to time... we lost parksie a number of years ago, mendhak shows up from time to time. CB, Guv, keda... geeezes, there's some old names being dredged up... wonder if you mention them enough times, they'll show up.

When I joined back in 99 I was twenty six and I know parksie was a lot younger than me. I guess he was having a rough go of it but it's a shame he couldn't get through whatever was eating at him. As for the rest of the guys I can only surmise they picked up software engineering jobs unless they just left the field altogether like I had.

Re: Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Parksie was before my time, although i remember the thread about him passing.
Although i joined a fairly long time ago, i had a kind of has a hiatus from the site for a number of years as my job and life changed quite a bit, then when i came back people started to disappear (I in no way started to stalk and kill off members randomly after the voices in my head told me to)
I was more of a lurker back then but i used to enjoy reading Mendhak's posts in particular (i can remember one in particular about his review of going to see Toy Story 3) and the random posts of Crtcpblade, Zaza,I_Love_My_Vans, Wossname and VisualAd's and others. The forum misses the craziness of those days a bit although Wossname and Visual Ad have been popping up now and again more recently

There have been different groups at different times over the years. I'm not sure one group was better than another, but they were all different....soooo very, very, different.

No argument there, and we all look back on the past with somewhat rose tinted spectacles, i just feel that some of the activity has died down a bit in Chit-Chat which got me thinking about some of those old users.
