[The Man]

The 13th will be my ten-year anniversary. Hard to believe I've wasted ten years of my life on message boards.

I posted a lot more when I was new. I think I racked up something like 5,000 posts in three months or something. I don't think anyone had ever done that here before. Part of it was just the fact that I had never been a member of a message board before and it was pretty novel to me, and part of it was that I really had little else that I wanted to do with my time. I've gotten a bit more balanced lately.

I'm a lot more cynical and misanthropic than I was then. A lot less trusting of authority as well. I'm not sure if I'd have qualified as a moderate or a liberal or what when I registered. I'm probably still an anarchist now (have been for about six years), although I'm too much of a cynic to believe that anarchy will ever happen again either. I also still had certain beliefs in the supernatural that I no longer possess.

This place is a lot different than it used to be. It seems a lot more laid back now. Then again, I'm probably a lot more laid back too. I took everything way too seriously. Now I realise most of this tit doesn't really matter much.

I probably already am as crotchety as Unne. As for where I'll be in 11 years (does this mean eleven years from now or at my 11-year anniversary?), hopefully doing more to solve the world's problems than I am currently, but who knows.

wow daniel i didn't know we joined at the same time!

anyway the real reason i joined, true story, was because i was stuck at a family friends house on a saturday night and i didn't want to use his computer to go on ezboards/didn't remember the URL's. so i registered here because it was easy to find via search engines and i knew a bunch of people here already.

For some reason I thought I joined in 2003. I love it when Im not as old as I think! Though I was lurking the forums for a year or so before I joined.
