Holy crap, I've been here since 2008?!

[yearofthenick]

Ahhh, I love to reminisce about the days when I used to be big into the hobby. I remember living in Southern California and having like 4 small tanks. I remember Tizzo's advice and Sepulatian before she went on to be a mod. Darth Tang was still borderline acceptable... and who can forget COWFISHRULE... now there's a gentleman and a scholar.
I also remember Rotarymagic, who was just a misunderstood person. Also, that everyone on here were adults. Man, it was the frakkin' wild west.
Do you remember what brought you to the forums? do you remember what your first posts were? Do you remember getting internet-arrested by the tang police and then released on close parole? Yep, that was me too.

1 . Do you remember what brought you to the forums? 2. do you remember what your first posts were? 3. Do you remember getting internet-arrested by the tang police and then released on close parole? Yep, that was me too.
1. I needed a saltwater only forum that wasn't all about reefs. I liked the tight-knit feel of it.
2. A question about lionfish and triggerfish.
3. Nope

I was in the hobby before I came to this forum. I was actually searching for a new forum home and I came across his site and never looked back. I was here before you a bit... I remember those guys. I miss crimzy and mrX. I also miss reading nwdyr's posts and rotarymagic's rants. I also miss Goodwin updating his threads on here. King Neptune is is finally back! Yeah. I remember the good ole days.

Also as with Seth, I was looking for a new forum.

i was arressted by the tang police more than anyone. still have 3 of them in a four foot wide 90.
i can say that here safely though. the tang police do not frequent the aquarium as the aqarium is the projects of this forum...the mods dont even like coming in here.

I haven't called it on you because I trust that when it gets bigger you'll find a better home for it.
Or should I trust you?! Hmmmm.

and 3 1/2 years and a gazillion posts later I am still FRUSTRATED as heck

 

[yearofthenick]

I kept a hippo, juvi atlantic, and a yellow tang in my Red Sea Max. Only the hippo tang survived. That was what the tang police arrested me for. But I'm clean now, I promise!

i'm coming up on three years next month. i only come here regularly during the winter months, but a community like this is a great tool to have. i remember crimzy and mr.X. a lot of people have come and gone.

 

[snakeblitz33]

I've been on here off and on for 4 years and 3 months. lol

 

[travelerjp98]

I've been here for 7 months!

 

[mr. limpid]

Wow I've been here since 2006 (had to look at a post I did to know that) I can't remember what I did yesterday.

 

[novahobbies]

I've been here since April 2008. I don't remember how I found this place, but I know that my first post was a question about a polyp budding off of my live rock. The standard "What the heck is this?" question. I'd had my tank for a few months before I started posting, but I was still a complete newb.
Oh. And I don't post NEARLY as much as our dear cat-lovin' lady Meowzer. How she gets anything done is beyond me...I don't think she sleeps.
