History Of The Anything Forums

The Gheyness · Post by **The Gheyness** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 11:19 pm

If I remember correctly, AF really started at the pcpitstop forums...somebody (maybe Magic) started what was basically a WLT over there and after a while it got deleted...so Magic pretty much started this forum for that?

And a few of us pcpitstoppers moved over here slowly, but surely...I was a lurker for a long time until I got banned over there and came here full-time.

Magic used to live in California back then...not sure what's up with him now.

Oh, the original people that kept the site going was pretty much Magic, Fragged, Spaz, Tak, Minnie, Tracy, Booper, Fresh Meat...and I can't remember if Kat, Woyaya, and CG were around from the beginning, but they were here a long time.

Other than that, most of the regulars from back then still post from time to time, with guys like CK (and others) coming back every blue moon. :þ

I think I showed up a few weeks or months after the whole pc pitstop issue since I remember there was a thread about it, but I did not really get exactly what just happened.

GG showed up later on, actually, well I think so anyway.

Anyways, AF is a fun place.

And it ends there....Minnie never did come back and fill me in. Although I guess the gist of it is all here throughout the different responses.

Oh AF you're a strange animal...

started back in 01 due to a dispute with the administration at the pit. magic led the charge along with megaspaz, me and others like freshmeat (remember him?!) weren't far behind. the af survived several moves and changes until it's been settled here for quite some time now.

i was an admin here for some time, but i was a jerk at times, so due to some disputes i stepped down.

tell you what, i certainly miss the days of minnie, megaspaz, magic, and tak.

ahh, those were the days. used to have a hell of a time here, especially in the wlt spamming away.

I miss those days as well.

Actually things went downhill when Magic gave up the forum so I can continue hosting it. Did I screw up? lol

I think that the whole internet and forum rage went downhill in general shortly after the move to here...or the interests shifted to new areas at least...like maybe blogs...? I really don't know. What I do know is that I was part of a few forums at the time that either are removed now or completely dead. Such as World Chaos. Something happened...something that involved a huge relocation of people on the web. The AF was lucky to survive at all from what I see of the rest of the places I regularly visited.

Noway, I tried to go there today and got a page load error. What's the url?

I have been trying to find all the old sites I used to go to...and that was one I tried to get to today. I also found Northern Getaway today. Nobody goes there anymore.

And I'm now one of those people who show up once in a blue moon. Well, maybe oftener than that. How often do blue moons show up?

Pure nostalgia. I actually was introduced to AF from that forum. I don't recall how I found that forum though.

It warms my heart when someone calls me Tak. That was a lifetime ago.

It warms MY heart when people still call you Tak.

Woa, when did I show up?

I actually found this site when I was like 14. I had like no friends and felt depressed. I thought I wanted to kill myself and I was looking for a place to spill my emotions and have people pretend to care about me. I googled for "Anything" and this came up...

We all remember "emo GG."

I just remembered...where the hell did Gubs go? He was hella cool.

Wow that stuff's pretty old. Even though I was part of those conversations at the time I forgot about them and I was shocked to see Bookworm take that stand and slam WW like that. Pretty cool though. WW was always causing controversy...wasn't he?

LOL william wallace. I never really had a huge issue with him other then he was kind of anoying and most people hated him.

Then at random he turned on us and launched that petty attack on the forum with his friends from ytmnd. They were pissed when they realized how fast I cleaned it up with sql queries lol. Good times.
