What happened to GayVeganCommunist?
He started a weed homestead up in the backwoods of Canada and has been living the dream ever since.

@One Brow may have been around since then.
How long were you at WP? I was in Huber Heights in 2004.I first joined when I was still at Wright-Patterson AFB, so well before August 2000.

That's right, Hopper. Well, whoever, was writing that dialect did a good job, unless he really was a dude from the hood, or at least brought up there. It's not that easy to do. I doubt that Aint and Hopper were different posters.Hopper. Banned. Maybe it was you? Maybe this whole time it’s only been me, Jason, and Colton posting here. Fight Club style.
Nah. If it had been just the three of us there would have been a lot fewer filter avoidance warnings/infractions handed out over the years.Hopper. Banned. Maybe it was you? Maybe this whole time it’s only been me, Jason, and Colton posting here. Fight Club style.

Let me know when and I'll make the trip from SoCal.1. Thank you, Jason.
2. Any idea what date you launched the site in 1999?
3. Who was the second (assuming you were the first) user to join?
4. Any fun early site days stories?
5. How long ago did the site crash and we have to start anew? I’m guessing about 10 years now.
@Jason
On a tangential note, I’ll probably come out for the playoffs again either this season or next. Last time I bought four tix and ended up selling those to four users here (fish, Siro, BP, and ?) as I proceeded to buy 13th row, dead halfcourt tix for $400 a pop with my buddy who came and use those instead. Unreal ****ing seats. Anyway, my point is, I think it would be epic if we could get like 20-30 of us to go to a playoff game.
I started lurking in the real GM days. Only really got heavily active after the reset. You've run a great site, much appreciated. You're an unsung hero.Summer of 1999 was very early days or months so JFFR has to be one of our first still around. I think he was like 8 years old at the time though living in Reno. Catzies probably beat him here. It was slow going those first few years. Wasn’t until we became the Utah Jazz forum on Rivals and RealGM that things took off. Check out the internet archive for fun memories.
I’d love to do a Nite Out again but it’s always a lot of “I’ll be there” until the money comes due. Got a bunch of tickets when Utah played the Warriors in the second round a few years back and lost my shorts on them.
I’ve enjoyed a lot of this community over the years and am grateful for *most* of you. Thank you for joining and participating. I know the act of joining and then the act of participating are both daunting steps so hopefully more of you lurking out there can hop in here and say hello. Be a part of the next 20 years!
Thank you!

It was obviously deliberate because as soon as the convo got heated he dropped the shtick almost completely.I haven't met anyone from any hood who talked like aintnuthin wrote. I'd guess it was a deliberate pastiche of different accents from different parts of the country.

I never read an entire post of Aint's. I'd make it a few sentences in and I couldn't understand what he was saying (literally.) The only other poster who I have a hard time reading and comprehending is babes'.It was obviously deliberate because as soon as the convo got heated he dropped the shtick almost completely.
It's funny how avatars do that. It's hard not to visualize who you're talking to unless you've met or seen them.When you first started posting, I read every post through the lens of thinking this guy was posting:
I’ll admit, it certainly colored the way I perceived your posts. That’s not what I see now, but it’s what I saw then. Same with Cy’s old DWillpwnasaurusrex avatar.
Spot on, pretty much. Only I'm not that buff.When you first started posting, I read every post through the lens of thinking this guy was posting:

Pretty sure I never read a full post, either. I forget some of the linguistic aint-isms, but they were annoying.I never read an entire post of Aint's.
