For all the old school members....

Do you remember when for once the forum was actaully dead and there werent newbs everywhere?

man those were the forum days....

Lately there just been too many newbs Im so sick of it sooo many people that joined in 01 an 02 are gone wtf??? :banghead:

Just venting a bit.... put your thoughts in.............

Meh, these "n00bs" will go on to be the "Jimsters" of future generations.


There's still plenty of old faces around here, people come and go, welcome to the Internet.

Sometimes people get over their need to converse on the net. For whatever reason, job, family, relationships etc....something replaces this website for them. Big deal.......nobody's life should remain static and unchanging.

i hear you man. it's been a little bit since i've been on the forrums. it seems like a whole new crew of people have taken over. but then i'm sure people felt that way when i signed up, and i know this isn't the first time i've felt this way.

Yep. Having a busy life makes it really really hard to keep up with these boards all of the time. And i'm usually at rx7club.com for ANOTHER problem for my 7.

But i still like to come here every now and again.

*edit* holy crap, i just realized that ive been a meber since august of 2001. And i dont ever remember making almost 3k posts... heh

Lets see.... You joined in November of 2002


Shut up NOOB!!!! :loser:



I miss DVS but there have been a log of good people who've come and gone. We've had our whores who've done the same. Ganstar, Kicker and Raz are at different stages but all following the same path.

hey member number 43,000 something isnt bad. I would have joined earlier but I didnt know about forums up until I found out about this.

:smile:

Diversity. :thumbsup:

I do miss those days...I've been thinking about that a lot lately, and some members, along with a mod or two knows that...I know I miss the old members, certain people who have been banned (not the recent "bannings") or others who got tired of what the site has become. I know I've gone through my spurts, but more recently, I do agree that there has been a lot of lower quality stuff that really isnt worth whoring up the boards with my "haha" or "repost"... just mine

I guess bieng a noob I dont have much to say here

im just a lowly 2004 member but i feel like ive been around a while . and yogs damn 16,000 post shit man is the th record on AF?

I think its time to realize that people come and go. As well as good times. New people bring new thoughts, and new ideas, and new good times. I've moved a lot in my life, so I've gotten used to losing friends. But one thing I've learned from it all, is to soak it all in because you can learn something from everyone. I haven't known anyone my whole life except for my family, so I don't see what the big deal is that some people have moved on. Let em go man. Let it go.

Never heard of the other 2. Plus I haven't whored at all since my vacation in a year so quiet down.

Rick i feel you the longest i have ever lived in the same town is maybe 4 years so i know exactly what your talking about

people always come and go on AF, I've been around for a long ass time too, not as long as Steel, but longer than Oz......
sure i miss a lot of the people who were my friends on here, but there's always new friends to make here.....and yes guys....right now i'm in the "Brother Love" mode

oh and Karmacae, don't feel out of place because you've only been here for 6 months. it's all gravy. you're cool, and we love ya(see what i mean by Brother Love mode? i feel like i've got love for everybody...:p)

:nono:

Pills are for clubs.

Heck, I've been here as long as most or almost like OZ, Hogie, and more and yeah, i know how it goes. I was gone for almost a year comin and goin makin like 50 posts total a year. I got busy and had an insane life.

Of course I miss the people who have left, expecially replicant 'cause when I firts joined, I used to read all of his threads. they were just so cool.

But yeah, the n00bs, what can ya do. It's not so much all n00bs (I made a thread about this in AFcomer's on MySpace) but it's the ones that just show up actin' like they've been here the whole time and know something when they don't.

What can ya do though? Nothing. Just get to know more people, perhaps make a few more contacts, and learn new things. Heck, i know I've made contacts and are finally meeting some. AFers. Dave's hookin me up when I come to NZ! w00t!

Multipe-Jimsters.

Now that is one scary thought :grinno:

What he neglected to mention was that he is not actually going to hook you up, but hook up with you, he tried to pull the same shit on me, not cool.



Everybody knows that I am the AF NZ pimp.

No newbs = No growth.

PS- 04 Rulez!

Bring back Jimmy-11-Cars and OZRiceBoy! (or however they spelled their names) :icon16:

Now now, we all know Jimmy_11_cars got banned and his account deleted, it served him right, he shouldn't have called that Jimster guy a pile of shit.


But whatever happened to Ozriceboy? Last I heard he went to Bhutan on a trip of self-discovery.

Thanks Yogs for that reminder. Hell, I could't remmeber them. What about the Scientist??? Wasn't he a character? I just wanna remember last night though...

Where the hell is Spec2Girl though!?! We need our Matron!!!!

When I first discovered AF I was doing a sales job with tons of boring down time - so if I wasn't talking to customers I was online either looking up specs for projectors, receivers, etc. or posting essays on AF or Z28.com (but once I really got into AF I found it so much better - more global). Then I went back to school where they gave us laptops... ya hi - can you say MSN, AF, and bejewelled?

Now there's a real job in the picture where all my work is done on computer. Its so busy I don't have time to really read up and make worthwhile posts (I've never been the one sentance kind of guy here), and after 8-10 hours of looking into a monitor all day I don't even go near a computer when I'm at home.

Plus with summer coming I think a lot more people are eager to go out and start driving their cars instead of just yapping about them - I know I am. Hopefully this will give me some neat stories to post in the street/track racing sections.




... and I'm kind of touched Yogs,
ah, you're probably just sorry you've got less people to antagonize! lol

Think we'll have hockey next year???

Bhutan is great. Please send more rags and some spice to trade with the locals.

Still haven't discovered myself though.

I'm effing old school y0!
