I remember when many of the members left and formed a different forum

Things were a lot different back then.

Yes. Indeed.

I know; I had never seen a board with so many children on it! Some as young as 4. And so many older people, some probably seniors. There are whole families on here, 3 generations in Smelena's case. Couples too, married and non-married. I've seen, met and talked to children-- eddiedog8, AussieBoy, UbbyUbbyUbby, adolescents-- AnonymousAnonymous, Alternative, ShadesOfMe, Brittany2907 , people in their late teens and twenties-- Kilroy, Alex, richardbenson, username88, rexmas, people in their 30s-- MADDuck, adverb, people in their 40s-- Syzygyish and others... and in their 50s... beentheredonethat... I know there are older people than them too.

I remember first coming on here. I remember when there were more children in the Childrens section. I remember all of those who have come and gone. I remember Meeting One-winged-angel and thinking he was a spamming jerk, I remember becoming his friend. I remember First talking to KBABZ, Tinky, Anubis, and Starbuline. I remember the others. I remember Cockney always talking about routemasters. I remember everything.

I Remember Nothing.

I've spoken to about 50 people here who've been in mental wards.

By late teens I meant 18 and 19; official adults.

I remember when someone remembered me from months before when I was bitching about my reputation and embrrassing moments... I think it was Kitsy who made "people collections" for dollhouses... I remember when Username88 was excited and PMed me when syzygyish said he'd donate to the commune... he PMed me telling me to ask richardbenson if we could live in his house after he said he'd let Aspies stay over... he PMed me telling me Kilroy would be coming too when Kilroy told him he decided to go... he PMed me excitedly saying TheMachine1 might donate some land or something...

I remember just recently making new friends here with Lightning88, or as I call her, Sparky, mightyzebra, and one I know personally, OneLastBreath. I also remember trying to communicate with Ana, but I guess I went a little too far after hearing about the sudden suicide of Starbuline.

I remember my avatar dilemma, being greeted by a few people for the first time, meeting some good people such as Kilroy, Soph, and GreenBlue, the feud between Ragtime and Soph (which I might have accidentally started), having fun with Raph522 in the Random Discussions, and giving and receiving PMs from some people.

I remember that my very first post was in response to one of your threads. I had been lurking for weeks. I remember guessing that one particular poster had a crush on another before I even signed up, and I was right.

I remember there used to be someone on WP who's username was Redmage.

Then it was something that started with the word Chozo, I believe.

Remember that time I was a commissar?
Man I was obsessed back then.

I remember our post-nuke RPG and thinking that you were much older than you are.

I remember how everybody stopped playing within days of starting.
