Do you remember your first impressions of RM?

[Dev]

Yep. I pleaded for Chud's return but the response I got was "absolutely not"

Wtf? What do you think his reasons are tho?

[Jorge]

Might be a self preservation sort of thing. Just speculating

[Dev]

Gotcha

[Anders]

I have some memories, but much stronger for later memories of the board, than that initial reaction.

Assure him that there aren’t any females here anymore to catfish him.

Landed here in 2005 or 2006, spent most of my time in PJ Chat and then waaay too much time in the Trading Forum where I met some great peeps that I still call friends. Took me ages to venture into GD, always felt that I was totally out of the loop there.

I loved the chatter and March Madness was a fucking revelation.

I remember keeping RM a secret from the wife though as I wasn't sure how to explain it!

Check the username. The pronouns have changed. I wish Norah was here to share her experience personally, but I feel like the username change was her way of communicating that.

Not trying to lecture. Just drawing attention to it because it can be easily overlooked unless you stumble upon past posts and I'm trying to prevent my friend from being dead named on here.

[Jorge]

Did not realize the username had changed. Okay, cool. I was being circumspect in case she didn't want to be outed here

I kinda think my first run on RM was around 2002. Totally different place by then, and i was here mainly to talk about Pearl Jam. But i met great wonderful people like Angi, King Jeremy and Juvenal. Angi and KJ even sent me a box with PJ Holiday Singles!! my first batch of them. It was a very incredible moment.

Also met Maya, an israeli girl who became a pretty good friend on a personal level.

I think i came back around maybe 2006? i dont remember really. And i agree with Joe, internet was already a different beast and the board was another thing, very enjoyable but least friendly. I would imagine in 2020 or 2021 was even worse for new posters maybe haha.

Still, this is my favorite internet forum and social media by far. Lots of great info, very fun people too, very cool. It can get ugly these days if let it but ey, its just a post!

fuuuuck youuuuu rm fuuuuuck youuu

Thank you sir. The old days of PJ Chat were great

They were yeah! Angi even say Happy bday to me yesterday! how amazing that was.

Maayan?

I miss her

Maayan!

She was my plus one at the two Seattle 09 shows. She is so nice. Last I saw on social media she had gotten married, but I haven't heard from her in a while. Hope she's ok.

i didnt want to say anything as it wasnt really my place. i had a fb chat with the chris's about this. i noticed a follower that i had no idea who it was and when i clicked on their profile i realized it. i dont think anyone here would purposely say anything derogatory but i would imagine there would be some slip ups unintentionally that could have a negative effect. she seems genuinely happy and if staying off of RM contributes to that more power to her

I see her online playing Mario Golf from time to time and it makes me happy.

She's something like top 3 in the world on one of those courses!

I had no idea either, but I remember the Norah username and the Mario Golf skills (mad respect). One thing I’d genuinely like cleared up about Chud - the gif of milk being poured into a mouth full of cereal - Chud or nah?

It was neither Chud nor Nah. Just a person with a passing resemblance to the 2010s version of Chud

So chud is not trans?
