Erik Conrad died?

I really liked him too. I thought he had some interesting ideas.

It's fun going back and looking at old posts. When I started posting here, I was a member of a fledgling colony. That chapter is now preparing for its 10 year anniversary in a couple years.

Gamma Chi was totally hilarious from my point of view. A group destined to implode, everyone probably knew it, and so many folks had such strong opinions about what was basically nothing.

I also remember the days when we didn't have so damn many spammers.

Ah good times and high drama.

Seems fitting for us as an online community. :)

congrats on that man

I hadn't even joined my colony then. (we turn 10 as a chapter next year)

And I appreciate the reminder of those whom I was forgetting.

Yes, a little over three years ago. He had some significant healh issues, which included/led to multiple amputations.

There's a thread about his death here. Earlier threads about his health are here and here.

what's the actual anniversary date? I feel like John needs to come on and say a few words to commemorate the occasion.

It really warms my heart to read this thread because it like a family. A sick, twisted family, but one to offer advice, lend an ear, or far more - folks meet up and such. I didn't know that Erik Conrad died but i really got a tear in my eye. I think i'd do the same if it was any of you who i've gotten to e-know.

Ok, that was really sappy but the sentiment is real. Cheers to GC!

I want to say approximately December 15, 1999, but it could have been earlier than that, if so probably no earlier than about the 1st of December.

Bump for my (belated) 10 year anniversay here at GC. A toast to those GCers, past and present, who became legends here and helped make GC the premiere GLO message board that it is today. Such legends include Prettygyrl, SH80(er/est), Fred Hatchett, Tom Earp, OTW, Erik P. Conard (RIP), Shinerbock, CT4 (aka The 25,000 Post Pyramid), AKA2D91, the founders and members of the late great Gamma Chi, and many others, but one more name to acknowledge, our founder, John Hammell.

I don't know if I'll be around much for the 2nd ten years, but I'll always remember the great times and memories I had while posting here.

Live, love, laugh, and above all, keep posting!

Crossed into Greekchat Land 1/26/00

I don't know how I came across, but I believe it was just yesterday I saw a thread that was started in November 1999.

I joined Greek Chat on 1/4/2000. I didn't realize it was 10 years being a member of this site until I saw this thread. The best thing about Greek Chat is: There's never a dull moment. :cool:

LMAO THAT's the best thing about GC? :)

That and the members of GC. :D

That it's still around.:p (relatively spam-free)



GC used to be GreekSource then John took over

wow. I remember this too.
