Yeah it's weird to think, a lot of us have been coming here on and off for coming up to a decade, some more than that. The internet was a pretty different place back then, hell I remember flying_blind linking to some video about cars or something on the forum and I was like... wtf is youtube, that's a stupid name.
I remember talking about this to someone in #bush a while back, can't remember who. I've known some of you for like a decade but I've never met any of you and probably never will, and if I just suddenly died or something there's a chance none of you would ever find out. Made me wonder if there's some old regulars we all remember who have since died and we never found out... The internet is weird.
There's plenty of names I can remember who at one point in bush I spoke to every day for hours on end month after month in an alliance channel or something... who I've since completely lost trace of. There should be a site or something where you can look up old internet buddies or something
Anyway, sorry for getting all morbid for a second there but it's pretty interesting.
