As an ignorant latecomer I always thought GS was a bit of a nob, but I really enjoyed his Werewolf stuff in the archive. Was he good?

Amazed I was even included on the template for the list, I don't really post anything particularly noteworthy.
I am most definitely not Australian though.
The werewolf games were good but others managed it successfully too, bar Pepe.
He used to be alright. He was even vaguely left-wing for a while. Then he seemed to become some mad Christian/tory/DUP mentalist and the wordcount and sanctimoniousness shot right up.
The word count and the sanctimoniousness was always there it was just dedicated to Rafa instead of poll data of Dave ‘Greatest PM in modern history (actual quote)’ Cameron v Red Ed Miliband.
I will do a list.
Based on the new me.
Waff - cunt.
Big Dick Johnson.
Should have seen that coming
Bit like Phonics.
When you think of the number of big names who have fucked off in the last few years, I find it a bit of a miracle that this place is still active. I still visit every day after a decade and a half and I'm still not sure why.
Reading an actual list was fun. Well in Niko.
I still visit the board almost daily, but since our son was born my free time has been very limited and putting the effort in seems like a big ask. This place provides a good read for my short commute to work.
I think distinguishing posters from each other is quite easy after reading the board for more than a decade. You also remember little things about pretty much everyone.
I was posting on TD pre blue forum (2001/02?) sort of time yet I still, A. don't really know what to think about anyone, and B. vice versa. You might all as well be bots for my own personal perusal.
EDIT: Pretty much as above - I flick through this place on the tube and very occasionally post.
I know I had about five years between joining and starting to post properly but I've no idea when that all was. I'm trying to remember if I was here for Yevrage after the Algeria game but I don't think I was. I was here for Italy in 2012 though.
8 years in a few months for me. More than a third of my life
I reckon 18 or 17 years...
I signed up in June '02 but it was probably '04 before I was posting regularly. Manc Sean scared me away at first.
It's been a far better use of one's internet time than whatever the other ones are. You come across all sorts of people who you wouldn't otherwise, and it's made my written English pretty superb. It has a lot more depth that something like Twitter for the fact that there are no pictures (mostly) but space to express your thoughts and if somebody comes back on a post three days later then it's still relevant.
I've been here about fifteen years and apart from form type posts I'm not sure I've ever posted anything longer than three sentences in one go.
I have no idea when I first signed up.
The majority go through a phase of dipping your toe in, then become more comfortable and two weeks later have 20k worth of posts.
I worked out I was a few months off 14 when I signed up which means I’ve been posting on TTH for over half my life span.
July 2001
Don't post often, but don't think there are many left. DS. Baz and Mike may have been about. 2003 was our Class of '92 though. Place really took off around then.
I initially signed up in 2001, but then didn't get an account on the new board until 2005. For the first couple of years I posted very occasionally in the CM forums.
2005 for me but it took me a few years to discover TTH and then start posting.
I then went bananas thanks to Ronaldo.
I can't think why you ever bother logging on at all.
The reason the internet has gone away from places like this is that nobody makes any money from places like this.
Have you met Baz?
I think Ital, Mo, Baz or myself are the longest standing members. I joined in 2000 but didn't actively start posting til early 2001 (new year's day to be exact, still remember my first post). Then Brighton deleted my first account in 02 and I had to create another.
I might do a list. I genuinely considered nicking the idea for a wrestling one but I'd take that far too seriously and spend about a week on it all for the benefit of about 5 members.
And I know Queenslander would only be annoyed when I picked the wrong NJPW guy.
I was April 2002. Spent way too much time posting here in the early years but then found work. I miss R-One's urban exploration pictures and Claudio's wrestling tales.
