I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

    I miss my old forums from the wild west days of the internet before facebook reddit and the rest took over.

    Besides the novelty accounts like shittymorph and the rest, can you name a single user you interacted with regularly on reddit? I used to be friends, real actual honest to god friends, with a bunch of people I met on forums. We’d interact on the forums, AIM, games, and meet up now and then. True digital community. Reddit was too anonymous and wasn’t conducive to repeated interaction with each other.
