Longevity

[hammerfan]

With previous discussions of long-term members, I got to wondering just how long I've been a member here. So, I looked up my old screen name and......I've been a member here for almost 5 years! That kind of surprised me, I didn't think it was that long.

Is anyone else surprised at how long they've been a member here?

[ferretchucker]

I missed my two year anniversary. I think it was in late August.

5 years is pretty good!

[hammerfan]

Of course, since you mentioned August, I had to go back and look at what the exact date was: 11-09-2004, so almost 4 years, not 5. Still longer than I thought.

[jenna26]

About 3 and half years for me. I've been a member here longer than any other forum, or any forum that I still post regularly at anyway.

The same is true for me.

[Posher778]

Going on three years as of December. I can't believe how much i've changed. I used to be so.... friendly :p

just shy of 5 years. I think I am one of the longest-running non-mods here.

i have the post-count and the sense of self-righteousness to prove it :)

LOL, yes you do :)


Isn't it funny how time flies?

5 YEARS...I was here long before I even MET Dustin, and we will have been together 4 years this December...Isn't it crazy that most of you guys can remember when I didn't even KNOW him?

And Vod, consider how long you have been married...We remember when you were just engaged :)

Massacre Man has been here longer than the rest of us...He was here the month before me...He was just a wee pup then, now he's a grown up adult...We've watched Return and Ferret grow up, too...Isn't it something?

I remember very well when you met Dustin! And when you got pregnant with Ash!

[bloodrayne]

Thanks ;) Love you too.
HA! I actually had your name in there, too, but editted it out because 15 - 18 isn't as much 'growing up' as the others :p

I know, it's absolutely incredible...It's no wonder so many of us are so close :)

You know, thinking about the old days makes me miss Heather even more!

[Vodstok]

you people are only reinforcing my sense of entitlement.

I guess deleting my retard thread was to keep me humble?:D

[bloodrayne]

Hmm...I haven't called her in about 4 months either, nor has she called me

Last time I talked to her, she was on a new path of self-discovery :)


When I replace my charger, I'll give her a call (all of my numbers are on my dead cell phone :/ )

Well, now you have me curious - what's she been up to? At least, from the last time you talked to her.

[Papillon Noir]

My goodness, it will be 2yrs in January! I'm very glad to have found this place and to have met all of you! I have enjoyed every minute of it!

It was actually here that I first learned about giallo. :D

Oh crap...Did I do THAT one?...Well, there goes my retarded Paris Hilton picture...IF I did that one (and I most likely did), it was an actual mistake:o


I think I won in that thread anyway :D


Uwe Boll took a close second :)

I'll be calling you today around 330. You BETTER answer. I'm calling the house phone so have it with you.

[bloodrayne]

Just trying to better herself, get out of her parents' house, that sorta thing...I imagine she's been very busy putting it all together :)



It was actually here that I first learned about giallo. :DI have learned SO much here, it's unreal...When I first came here, I thought I was a horror master, hell, I always beat everyone that I knew with horror trivia...BUT, Avenger schooled my ass HARDCORE, we had a daily on-going trivia contest...DAMN that Kentucky boy knows his horror, I should have challenged someone a little lower on the totem pole...lol...He really put me in my place

AND, my horror collection has grown EXPONENTIALLY since I've been here...I now have so many movies that I would have never even heard of if it weren't for the members here

Have I mentioned that I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE?! :D

[jenna26]

AND, my horror collection has grown EXPONENTIALLY since I've been here...I now have so many movies that I would have never even heard of if it weren't for the members here


Mine has as well, and my "to be watched" pile just keeps getting higher and higher and higher.....;)

[hammerfan]

Same here, Rayne. My horror collection has really blossomed since I've been a member here. And I learned to appreciate Asian horror - never gave it a second thought before. And Dario Argento, and Lucio Fulci, and Mario Bava.....heck, I could go on all day.

I've had some rifts with people (one) here in the past, but for the most part I really like everyone here and couldn't imagine not being a part of it. Rayne, you probably remember that incident. You and I PMed for a while talking about it.

I did leave for a while when the trolls were at their worst - but BudMan brought me back via MySpace! :D

I'd like to make a suggestion to everyone who reads this thread: stop responding to the people that are pissing you off and you won't get pissed off anymore. Just don't reply......don't even read the thread. It's like they say about TV shows that get slammed by conservatives for language/sex/drugs, etc.: if you don't like the show, change the channel. Just don't read the thread.

[Vodstok]

here's the crazy part about me being here. Since I started here, I have:
Been engaged
Been Married
Had a child
had 5 onsite jobs and innumerable work from home contracts
written close to 10 short stories
Moved
Stopped talking to my family


and there's more, I just cant think of anything else right now.

And I remember when your daughter was born and how happy and proud you were. I think you were already married when I arrived here. And I remember the first story of yours that I read - and my menopausal brain is drawing a complete blank on the title. :rolleyes:

[Nella]

When I came here, I didn't know what giallo meant. I haven't been here that long but I have learned a lot. I know what I can and can't watch. I haven't bought any movies but I never bought any of my favorites before coming here. I like slasher films and suspensful, scary stuff but I tried two foreign horror films mentioned here and added others to my list. I look forward to watching them. I hope everyone makes a list in Fester's top 100 films thread so I can learn more.

This may be a loaded question, but-how would a non-tech person get an on-line job?
Any sites I may be directed to?
I need a job , I do not have the time nor mindset to go to back to school.
I would love to be a stay at home mom and work on-line in some type of capacity (other than med. transcript.-ugh)

[pinkfloyd45769]

I have been here like 4 years i think.I remember baby Ash!:) I love all you guys so much,i could never leave.I miss IA75:(

[pinkfloyd45769]

Nova,i have no idea of where to find a job like that.Ever think of starting a daycare?

[Elvis_Christ]

Far out I've been here for ages.

[bloodrayne]

Far out I've been here for ages.

I've only been here 1 month longer than you, and it feels like I've been here FOREVER

You really HAVE been around for a long-ass time :)

[novakru]

Nova,i have no idea of where to find a job like that.Ever think of starting a daycare?

Noway
I have a limited amount of energy and it's all for my rugrats:D

I did search for on-line jobs for awhile and all I came up with was putting together crafts at home for very little money and of course all the scams:rolleyes:



I remember when Rayne was preggo:)

And I remember Pink preggo-2x:)

[novakru]

You know, thinking about the old days makes me miss Heather even more!

Ditto
I wish she'd come back

[Dante'sInferno]

Been here since august 5th 2004 on my old screename.I've chaged alot too.I've become more laid-back.Which is cool I guess.But when I first joined I got a pretty good flaming, I stuck it out though.Damn I miss the old days.:D

[pinkfloyd45769]

I remember Nova having B(i think thats right),i also remember all the drunken threads.Good times:)

[The Flayed One]

I'm getting close to 3 years. It is amazing how time flies. HDC has become a family to me. It's amazing to me how much this place has grown as a forum. I personally feel that we're MORE than just a forum now. Maybe I overstate this, but how many other forums have you been to that have so many projects, annual events, their own awards show, a radio station linked to them, actual semi-famous members. The list goes on.

Babies, younger members growing up and going to college, it's been a good long run and I don't plan on ending it any time soon. Hell, I'm on a first name bases with a few of you.

This is the first forum I've been on that I've met people who I actually consider friends. __V__, newb, Rayne, urge, Posh, Return, Rod, the list just goes on.

It's our own little dysfunctional home, and I love it here.

[novakru]

I just mentioned how just in the last week, things around here have gotten almost cozy between members.

After all this time though, I know nothing about V.
Not sure if he has posted anything personal, but he is one dude I would love to have lunch with.
Very smart man.

[neverending]

Looks like I joined in 2003...

Wait just a minute......I'm cool and i joined after you.I don't appreciate your judgment of coolness:cool:

[novakru]

Did you go away for awhile?

[illdojo]

I hit my 2 year mark this month. :cool:

[neverending]

Hah- I was hoping I could bluff my way into being an old-timer. I never posted regularly till a couple years ago.

Yes, this young man has become laid back. I can confirm that he was a honored member who use to tell the n00bs to STFU :D He was like a protege' ;) but then the forum went soft and the rest is just history......:(

[The_Return]

May 2004 for me - on my first account.

Been through a lot here...first real girlfriend, first lead role, 2 random bans + a long sabbatical, lots of great friends and a handful of enemies. I would be a far different person if not for you guys, and it's been a pleasure to be here - through the good times and bad.

I'm not speaking to him :mad:


You 2 need to kiss and make up already...You've been together too long and you have too much in common to just let it all end this way

What can I do?
Pictures of you still make me cry
Trying to live without your love
It's so hard to do

Some nights I'll wake up
I'll look at your pillow
Hoping that I'll see you there
But I get up each day, not much to say
I've nowhere to go

Loneliness fills me up inside
'Cause I'm missing you
So if you'll give us a chance to remember
The love we had once together
Wait and see

Time is all that we really need
I'm praying you won't say no
I mean to tell you

Don't let it end
Baby we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door

I'm telling you baby, I made my mistakes
But I'll make you this promise to do what it takes
I'll be there to protect you and hold you tight
You got my lovin' baby every single night

What will I do
If you say we're through?
I need you to stay, honey
Don't let it end this way.


:D
