Help me with remembering the original posters on help.com!

When it first started, there was only a few of us here. It was like being a part of a small town. Now, it is like living in the big city. This is good and bad. More people to help, but less personal contact with friends. Most of my original friends are not here anymore and the ones that are, don’t post much anymore. For example, a few days ago, heard from Southern Comfort and we called him SoCo. Very good person. And, does any one remember Queen Elizabeth? Wow, she was a hoot. And, back then the mods, C.M., Erik, Jeff, etc spent lots of time communicating with us. Back then, I was Qzzzz Others back then, Anthrax, who is still posting but not much anymore, there was Cady, and many others that maybe others can help me remember. Oh, HotSoxs…she still post, but seldom..JoJo is my favorite…There was Heather, Canph..this is not the correct spelling, but anyway, who, I think is an administrator now, and there was Animal, and cannot think of anymore..

Well, take your shot at remembering the old posters…

I looked through my friends list to check people that I thought might have been originals but none of them have been around that long. Most of them have been around for about a year and a half.

I dont realy remember the early ones that much any more. A few of them I remember quite well.
I am not realy the nostalgic type, so I dont expect to remember that many of them.

Time moves on and everything changes over time, my own way is to try and move with them.
The website was different then, the problems for help were generally different. I dont mind the changes though.

Theres too many to remember.
Even the legendary Xeno left.
Ive been here for almost a year and a half, but i have fewer than three thousand replies to my name. i guess my presence isnt large enough for everyone to recognize me as an original..oh well.

you would think, a “so called leader” of this site would try to keep members, not run them off. But, when the site allows a mod that is underage to be a leader and someone with a name, (that sends a negative message) to moderate this site, enough said!

if you say so

yes since a 23 year old admin took over the site went too poop
did you know yourabi was only 25

but Ultimately what made this site go downhill is CBS buying it that’s when this mess started so if ya wanna blame someone blame CBS
