My favorite thread of all time. I landed here in April 03 and have been around off and on since then. I still talk to John (Kitso) occasionally. I remember when the AIM chat first started. My lord.

I wonder if Lifesaver still soaks his testicles in pineapple juice...

Thanks for the links Jen! I DO remember it looking different, but I couldn't remember what had changed. I'm not a year 2000 member, but it's definitely been awhile.

Greek Life and Chit Chat used to be in the same forum. It got really messy.

I have been around for about that long too.

^^ you know, i WISH i had been around for the Gamma Chi trainwreck. i read the thread and its not the same.

sometimes you want to watch a thread blossom and grow into the trainwreck you know it will be.

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.

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

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.

When I started here, I'm pretty sure you were in college and just talking about law school. Now you're a lawyer. Crazy.

I also recall when it was not out of the ordinary for GCers to say things like "OMG you're so amazing and I'm sure you're going to get a bid" in rush threads.

It was also not out of the ordinary for GCers to say "Oh don't worry, there's always AI!" when said PNMs rush didn't end successfully.

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!

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.
