Title: B4 THE CRASH: Old Members.
Post by: Symphony on May 18, 2003, 05:32:35 PM

I first logged on here, July 4, 2002, shortly after the Forum was first up and running, and before the Crash here in March, 2003.

It was new then, fresh.  I'm sure the new ones here now are just as much fun, but I thought I'd list the names here of the ones I can remember, from B4 the Crash(B.C., hehe).  The first one who helped me with my question, I believe, was Aaron, who use to post lengthy and thoughtful posts.  He hasn't reappeared at all, that I know of.  A few of these have reappeared as their earlier title, some with modified titles, some with new titles.  These are the ones I remember.  I'm sure I will forget some.  Please add any you  might remember!

Aaron                        Sunshine(canada)
slhunley                     Sunshine in S.W.D.      
goinhomesoon             browneyes(now tigerlily)
JapEmp                      Irish Angel(now Blue Star)
SugarPlumAnn             sincereheart
UnBeliever                  Forrest
teambmember             SherBear
Comfort Eagle             nX
AAAAmember              c
joelkaki                      KT  
Caelin                        Marc
Alfie                          His Word Lives
Hitch                         atryus28
freeman                     Raphe
Christian                    friend
Pilgrim                       Kiwi
Early57(me)                ollie
blackeyedpeas            Angie


At that time, last summer, team b member was I believe the top poster--agnostic, atheist, sometimes contemptuous, other times tolerant, he gave us a time, but was helpful at other times.  AAAA member  too, joined him in giving us a hard time--at times atheist, or agnostic, other times willing to listen. She has reappeared, but hasn't posted.

The biggest snafu last summer was with "friend", a Quaker from Florida, who steadily but increasingly was beating the war drums of nudism, how important and necessary it was for everyone to disrobe.  That went on for several months.  Most were quite relieved when friend was, um, "disinvited"(hehe).

No doubt I have forgotten some obvious ones, and others less obvious but equally very important.  One I know was a frequent poster, from Phila, PA, but just can't remember his name.  He still posts from time to time.  Please remind me(and forgive me, por favor).

It's just interesting how you miss the ones now gone--even, or especially the ones you don't agree with, or whom don't agree with you.

It's weird, sometimes, how you even miss the ones you maybe thought you didn't even like.

Maybe that's why we are commanded to love even, or especially, our enemies.  Maybe there's a built-in sense, in all of us, that all that we have now, or know now, is passing away, with that sense of finality.  That we maybe need to take better advantage of the time that we have, when or while we have it, with whomever we know.  We can't see what's on the other side of that bridge, until we cross it.  So now we only see in part.

Symph,

You're right of course, and the irony is that some of my fondest memories are of contentious discussions with people who's names now totally escape me.

Thanks, Corpus.  Sorry, you were here last summer.  So was "Lawyer".  He was here briefly again in February or so.

This is great Symphony, remember the "before the crash" folks. :) Then I was goinhomesoon.....now I am just goinghome (it's God's timing!)

Some other people that come to my memory as are
Linuxgeek...(by the way still a dear friend)
photogrunt
groundbreaker

I can not remember when I first signed on here....but it was way back :)

Post by: Symphony on June 01, 2003, 08:26:29 PM

That's it, goinhome, Linuxgeek!!  I just couldn't remember, 'cept his real name I think is Steve.  Andyway, thank you, Jodi.  And, he's been back since, occasionally.  

Sorry, Steve.  You were here bf4 I was, and a regular poster too.  Sorry.  Hope you are doing okay.  A prayer here for Linuxgeek, in Jesus' Name.

Sorry, photogrunt.  Houdy.  And groundbreaker.

Post by: goinhome on June 01, 2003, 08:55:09 PM
 ;) God Bless you friend! You always watch over all of us here!

Yes...Linux is Steve. And he was actually here I believe before me too. As was groundbreaker and photogrunt. We use to have some really great discussions.

Welcoming all the new comers now too!!!

Hello Symphony and friends -- LinuxGeek here.

Yes I too remember before the crash.  I signed up in June and was one of the first ones on the board.  I met some wonderful people yet I have kept in touch with one, Jodi, a very dear friend.  The others went their own way.  The board was fantastic at first!  

I have made a few posts here and wanted to keep it a truly christian site but without the help of the admin it is hopeless, so I started my own board on my own website where only christian discussion is encouraged.  

I truly miss the wonderful conversations I had with you Symphony and other friends such as Pilgrim, groundbreaker and Stephanie.  

God willing I will again be able to spend some time here and discuss scripture and the love of Jesus Christ our saviour and Lord.  

The peace and love of Christ be with you and all friends.
God bless.

LinuxGeek

Whoa!  Hey, Linux, nice to see you.  Thanks.  Yes, where IS slhunley??  Haven't heard from her e-mail, for several months now.  Maybe she's in jail?  She has been twice, for picketing abortion clinics, I believe.  I may be going myself, albeit for different reasons.  I'm publishing a weekly bible verse as a newspaper ad. (hehe)

Yes, I know, CU isn't what it could be.  I came on July 4th--can you believe that?  Seems like it just went down hill after that... sorta like...

It DID NOT go down hill after you came Symphony. You are the prayer warrior for this board!!

I might agree that it is like the twilight zone sometimes though... ;D (not you...the board ;))

Symphony,

Just remembered some more old names: Iraneus and Petro.
They disagreed quite frequently with one another. Do you know if either are back?

Blessings my friend,

Alfie

Hi, 7 tides, welcome back.  Sorry, Believer!

Yep, goinhome, Petro is here pretty regularly.  Not sure 'bout Iraneous.

I'm not sure if Admin even knows who hacked the site, or of course why.

I figured it was just some surfer who does it randomly.

Well thanks anyway Symphony. Before the crash, I was really
getting settled here.  :)

Title: Re:B4 THE CRASH: Old Members.
Post by: ollie on June 21, 2003, 10:30:20 AM
Was "Crusader" mentioned? How about Raphael?

B4 the crash the site seemed to access faster, posting and previewing went faster. Sometimes now it is very slow and at times one gets "this page is not available". I have spent time writing a post only to lose it through trying to post it.  ???

Remember the trolls from Urban 75? How about the OSAS/OSNAS debate? Talk about heat!


Title: Re:B4 THE CRASH: Old Members.
Post by: Seven_Tides on June 21, 2003, 01:16:47 PM
Well Ollie, I've got a tip for you. If you want to keep the stuff
you type, you should copy it, before the page cannot be found page comes up. Then, on a new post, paste it, ands then you save time, and you remember everything.

Is there a hidden meaning there?

You know, I don't think all the people have returned to the site since the crash. It is getting difficult to remember who.

There was a fellow from South Africa. Was his name "Stompie"?
He liked motorcycles and was into some kind of street preaching. I could be wrong about that, however. He had some thoughtful and caring posts.

Of course some of the ones that liked to dominate the threads with their point of view are here under different names, but their words give them away. Imagine spamming with the word of God! I wonder what Paul would think of that if he were around physically today?
I havn't been able to distinguish if "teamBmember" is here or as his AKA "comfort eagle"  He/she was usually in the "evolution/creation forum.

I miss some of the posters that havn't come back. Many had good things to say that furthered ones knowledge in God.


I enjoy your posts Symphony and think it is great that people can kid around and have innocent fun. But then your serious posts on God's word are also good. I always learn things from your posts even some of the funny ones and your pictures and graphics.


Title: Re:B4 THE CRASH: Old Members.
Post by: Symphony on July 29, 2003, 06:45:20 PM

Well, that was nice, thank you, Ollie.

Yep, that was Stompie.

Early57(formerly "me") seems to have completely disappeared.

Yep, teamB hasn't been back at all, that I know of.

AAAAmember has signed on, but posts hardly at all.

Yes, I'm starting to forget many now.

And Aaron.  Remember Aaron?  I sorta thought Aaron would be back.
