I've been here since the fall of 2000. I still remember when Mason replied to my $1/$2 limit hold 'em thread about whether or not I should call a 3-bet on the river.

Not exactly a prolific poster though, so pretty much nobody knows who I am.

I've been here 9 years. I did go away for some periods of time (including all of 2013 and most of 2012), so maybe I should count it as 7 years.

You're a Prisoner fan.

Hey, I remember you Enrique. You're from Mexico and do outdoors stuff I think, jumping off bridges maybe.

Yeah, I had a post about doing a one day tour of Vermont-New Hampshire where I jumped off bridges.
I did a few of those travel posts before (also one on Andalucia).
I stopped writing a journal so even though I still do a lot of travel I don't write about it anymore.

Thanks Dom. I was very active for a while. I had fun at a lot of the drafts organized in the Lounge, the book clubs we tried and many other good threads. It seems that the Lounge doesn't have as many posts per day as it had a few years ago.

I started reading 2+2 some time in 03 but didn't like the idea of being modded so I stayed at RGP. I finally got around to registering here in 06 b/c RGP became a cesspool of political and circle jerk posts.

My first post was July 22, 1997, two weeks after the opening of the forums. It was a grand time, with the mix of ideas, learning opportunities, personalities. There were intense clashes and great debates. In the first few years there was good representation from Edmonton (my home), but I don't see so much these days - are any of you out there?

Sklansky and Malmuth posted frequently in all forums. Later, some guy started sticking his nose into things - called himself "fossilman". One of many great additions to the crew. Steve Badger used to post frequently, until he totally withdrew. Abdul Jalib, Gary Carson, Izmet Fekali, and other names of lore. Then there were the "unknowns", like Louie Landale, Dave in Cali, Tom Haley, and so on, who made great contributions with their regular posting.

Internet poker was still in its infancy. Anybody remember irc poker? It has
exploded into a huge industry, and really changed how poker is played, even in casinos. The ability, these days, to generate and analyze enormous quantities of data, has really given us the opportunity to examine and rethink what we thought of as the right way to play. Online, now we have access to a great deal of information about our opponents. We don't need to remember how someone played, it's displayed right by his name or icon.

A lot has changed in the nearly 17 years that I have wandered in and out of these forums. I'm sure the old-timers who are still here have similar tales. I'm looking forward to the next 17 years. I won't be here all the time, but I'll look in, once in a while. I hope that poker continues to be a thriving business, and that some of you will still be here.

Eric

Many of us who still use are real names were around then, and I remember all those you mention. Badger had extensive film knowledge, especially in film noir. Srendi Vashtar also posted frequently, and while many contented themselves with poker discussion, Other Topics was visited by nearly everyone. You may remember Mark (later M), Vince Lepore, Rick Nebiolo, and the Feeney brothers as well.

Thanks db. Since I came back I've been enjoying your Star Trek thread (specially since I started watching TNG trying to go through the whole series). I am also looking forward to your Stephen King thread. I read Under the Dome earlier this year and loved it.

Glad you're enjoying the ST. I'll take a week off at the end of this season, then season 3, week off, then Star Trek The Animated Series!

I'm considering ST:TNG, but that would be really hard work, and I've already seen (and disliked) a lot of them. I may cherry pick those ones.

However, if I get to Voyager and even Enterprise, I will go back to episode by episode.

Haven't read Under The Dome. I should get to it in about 5 years...don't doubt I won't, I have a Married With Children thread with every single episode as proof of tenaciousness...

And yes Enrique, you are ONE OF US ONE OF US GOBBLE GOBBLE

I'm really just trying to pad my post count here, or else I'll never make it to 1000.

11 years here, but they stripped away internet access here at work so I don't come on too much anymore
