Hell, I barely remember that.

Don't forget to look at the label...

So much nostalgia. It got changed to something approaching what we have now a few months after I joined up. I still remember going through every fic in the Dark But Lightsided list.

 

Wait, that wasn't a mod/edit prank?

Now that I think about it, it being archived doesn't preclude it from being a prank... oh well.

 

Considering that several of those categories were removed before I joined in 2006, I'd say you probably don't remember it.

 

If Smile was anything like me, then he may have lurked these boards for months/years before signing up for an account. Going by "join date" as when someone first began reading DLP isn't super reliable.

 

I remember the Serevus and Evil fics clearly, very clearly. The rest, well there is not much of a reason to remember they existed over the years.

But yes, yak is correct. I lurked before I joined.

 

I love how in the DLP community, the tiny date hidden below your avatar is equivalent to the size of your e-peen

 

Exactly.

Except when someone joined only just before you. Fuck you, August 2009.

 

If only I had made an account when I initially found DLP instead of four years later... RIP my potential e-peen.

On second thought, considering my age at the time, thank god I didn't. Who knows what kind of idiocy I would have immortalized.

 

anyone who doesn't have a 200X join date is a total newb.

I think I literally joined december 31st 2009.

 

I didn't lurk long but some lurking was there.

Hell I learnd English here. I wince when I look at my first posts now.

 

That awkward moment when you get your own chocolate frog card.

 

I was cleaning my closet when I found a newspaper from 2001:

 

What's the answer to #4?

 

Green eyes?

 

Oh, I thought he meant the crossword one...I can't make out #4 on that one, too blurry for me.

Edit: It looks like "farm/earth/something friendly spells" but I could be wrong.

 

Oh good call. Thanks!
