Freaky Forum Flashback

[Mr. Analog]

Good lord, I don't know how this popped into my brain but the forum as we know it is nearly 10 years old

I started thinking about the meltdown at TheTechZone and then moving to another forum (can't remember now what it was called?)

Kinda weird to think that this place has been around 9 years, let alone some of the other places we used to hang out even before that.

The other forum was "HyTek Computer Forums", or at least that was one that I was a member in.

[Mr. Analog]

YES! that was it, holy moley!

Another reason having enough email storage to keep almost everything is handy.

[Mr. Analog]

It's funny I went back to my oldest e-mail and I had joined GMail in 2004 which was after a lot of other stuff.

I still have my old mail backup on CD-ROM somewhere though

anyway, it was just so weird thinking back I guess, just came out of the blue

[Darren Dirt]

still pretty righteous imo.

a lot less wrath than a few years back, certain forum members no longer participate

[Mr. Analog]

Oddly enough I went back to some really old posts and had a jog through memory lane, it was pretty darn good around '04/'05

Still is

What is this CD-ROM thing you speak of?

[Mr. Analog]

It could be bought in large stacks a decade ago when I was backing up my electronic mail client (which is a computer program that receives electronic mail messages from an electronic mail server)
