Internetness virtual life ...

So I was wondering if any of you have a history of message board use that is important to you ?

My fist one was back around 2005 (?) when there was this site called "Slippys" ( gone now :( ) ...
It was for apostate ex-jehovahs witnesses ...
It was the first time I had a tribe of 'my people' , albeit centred around a negative experience .
It was a place to sympathize with each other about our brainwashed mind controlled pasts .

Then years later ( I had a PC free time ) I did exjw on reddit , which was similair but lacked the weirdo
specialness of Slippys .

I have a favourite reddit board now although it's fading in it's utility ( it's becoming a parody of itself as it gets bigger
in numbers ...)

So not much really to nostalgiaze about , but it did warm my heart when I first started reading at Slippys.

SS has become that kind of place for me now ... the central focus ( suicide ) surrounded by human quirkiness
and new and unusual views as well as the empathy of folk probing an area taboo in main stream society .

Got any forum nostalgia ?

No, not really. This is the second forum that I've joined and the first that I've felt a part of. I usually lurk on forums that I'm interested in to glean info.

Thats cool.

I was going to point out lurking was all part of the nostalgia buzz.

I know lots of people that lurk / post here have nervous dipositions ...
( anxiety ... ) I have it too ... and posting a message on a board is a stressful thing to do.

I remember it being that way anyway .

Posting here was a bit weird when I first started .

ASH was such a big part of my life. It's hard to imagine this site being unmoderated.
Certain characters became legends. There was always some kind of drama.
Then inevitably, it was lost to relentless trolling and I guess once the secret was out, it was no longer any fun.
