Glad to see some familiar posters again Yesterday I was playing a Syd Barrett cd that you sent me through old fashioned non-electronic mail because it wasn't available here. Still thankful for that one! ;-)Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost exactly 10 years ago that I came over the first time. Yeah I love it here! We picked a good spot just slightly west of Denver. I'm less than 10 mins away from RR so I'm there somewhat frequently. Plenty of gigs but also it's a fun / easy spot to walk our dog. that's great to hear dude, still a big fan of that area. caught my morning jacket at RR in august for my first time there in years and it was just as amazing as i remembered.

Crazy how many old faces popped out of the woodwork. Not to talk shit, but I miss the old @UK SUBS. As in, the guy he was before we worked on the site together... Who remembers the old picture thread? All the flirting and sexual tension. Good times. I moved from Australia to Colorado about a year ago. Life is good. I felt compelled to start posting again this week for some reason, even though interest in GN'R is at an all-time low point, particularly after the sexual assault allegations. It truly warmed my heart to have seen "HighVoltage" in my notifications again. How are you? This thread has been a good walk down memory lane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard he’s a married man now Snake-Pit is married?! Good for him. I always enjoyed when he'd go on the lash and start posting random threads in AG 14 hours ago, username said: If I'd really have to list all the people that I've met here over the past 20 years that have gone AWOL, the list would be very long and I'd still forget quite a few. I'm still in touch with a few who've stopped posting years ago though. We should all do a reunion some day. This thread has been a fantastic reunion! Have you heard from SLAA recently?

Teenagers were posting their pictures and asking other Teenagers to rate how hot they were..... Yeah, that couldn't ever potentially be a HORRIBLE idea. The "Rate how hot I am!" Section was deleted as if it never existed. Posters asked what happened to the "Rate how hot I am!" Section was gone, and an Admin responded something like,"I deleted that section because there could be creepy older perverts leering at pictures of Teenagers, and now with the deletion of that Section, they can't do that."

Around 2004-2008 there was an extremly busy picture thread here too. Which was fun. But honestly it was also a different (maybe more innocent?) time on the internet. I've seen multiple events where shit got out of hand and/or nudity was also getting posted. Which wasn't good at all. Especially since there's no age verification in any way. Aside from that there was of course some innocent attention whoring too. The old picture thread, I believe, is removed completely and no longer a searchable part of this forum. But for the most part it was great and it was fun how everybody knew just a little bit more about eachother. There is a new picture thread, but it's not the same as it was back then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has made me realise that im getting close to 30 years of being active in an online community, do I really still care about the band, well the answer is nowhere near as much as decades ago, However the online community it has spawned is priceless.
