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…

LoL yeah I remember.
I think the main admins about when I first joined where KT1,Rocky and Jeff and I know what you mean about the whole getting involved thing, it has changed here, becaome moe vast and voices seem to get lost.
KT1, Candp ….ermmm…Not sure who else really lol. Can’t think right now :P

Hey, what about seeing how far back you can go in posts and fish out a few names that way?
The original when I joined were C.M., Erik who is high up in Cnet now, and Jeff…
This was my first post on help.com..2 years and 7 months ago…
What do you think of Help.com?
What do you like? Hate? Anything you want to see changed?

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.
You can look at some of the oldest archived posts and see if other names pop up that you remember.
wow!!! I always wondered exactly how long help was around and how it started. Two years and 7 months!!! What are the origins or help? ie: the who, why, how, what, when, where type of thing?
Well I am not one of the originals and I don’t remember them…I am one of the new generation though :) We have so many regulars and everyone knows different people but I think most of us have ran into each other at one time or other….I love it here…I would have loved to be here at the beginning though… xx
Can’t help you but came to say hello anyhow. HELLO.{=0)It’s nice to be a newbie old man lol.

This is probably offtopic and not very helpful to the person who wrote this post, but here’s the oldest version of the site I saw on archive.org : http://web.archive.org/web/1999012509…
sorry… the help.com address redirected to c-net until this date: http://web.archive.org/web/1999112902…
(ok I’m done now)
Fire is also a prett old user…2 years 3 months I believe…
Thanks Smoogie…loll..yep, nothing like being an old man..beat the options! But, as someone once said, “there is snow on the roof, but a LOT of fire in the chimney!”

don’t wear my name out mr
Loll..nice to be remember spirited one!
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.
i miss soulsearcher..i think that was her name. oh and oster too. and there was this guy shuan..he wasnt one of the originals, but he was still here for awhile.. idk what happened to him. i think he might be dead…
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.
Wow…Xeno…He was like the first guy on here I respected and stuff….I always used to follow his posts…But I was too shy to really reply or anything to them :P
at this very second.. i can not come up with any… my brain is rushing with some news that i got today.. but when i have calmed down, lol.. i will be back with some thoughts…
oh yeah, did i forget to mention suc… lol.. hehehehehehehehehehehe..
I have been here for two years and moderating for the last year and 5 months, it has been a pleasure getting to know you all. I look forward to getting to know more of you. I hope you all are enjoying your time here, it is a great place to hang out.
:)
Feel free to shout me any time
Yes, the Bear has been a friend to all here on help.com ! Certainly has my respect as a moderator and as a person.
i remember most of them! :)

oi i was just correcting you!
I didn’t delete it
o_O i know you didn’t,
oh my today is not my day to deal with authority!!
loll
LOTS of people have let this site!
wonder why????
just check in occasionally to hear from old friends like JoJo and others. Yes, i’m not part of this site. Have not been for a couple of years! Thank you and have a nice day!
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!
I didn’t know you were ageist that’s awfully rude to assume someone is a bad moderator just because of they’re age and kind of ignorant, no actually it is ignorant you don’t know Sam at all your judging him.

And your the only one here with a problem *birds chirping*
Some users have left, but not all not everyone I’m still here YOUR still here
From a reputable source heard that this site had a moderator that was 15 years old, it that true or not?

What in the world does it matter how old he is?
it is true! will leave it there.
again, just come here to say hello to a few old friends. Not a part of the site anymore.

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
fair enough!
Take care!
