MicMeister Le Skibum & Pixelsmith Registered: 12/14/07 Posts: 1331 Loc: Finland, on the Arctic Circle	I think I started popping in to MacCentral around 99 autumnish. First I was just asking about advice on putting a Voodoo 2 or 3 card on my beige powermac G3. Started looking around other posts, too and thought I'd stick around. That old workhorse is now in the basement with the Voodoo 3 card still in place. _________________________ Yes. I can haz a biz and site, no?

yoyo52 Nothing comes of nothing. Registered: 05/25/01 Posts: 28790 Loc: PA, USA	I took a very roundabout way to end up at MC. My first board was MacNewsNetwork, which I joined in 2000. Some horrible brouhaha took place there towards the end of that year and I decided I couldn't take the place any more, so I moved to MacMinute, in Jan. of 2001. John, who used to be a mod here but doesn't come any more, had the same trajectory. I didn't join MC until 2005, I think. _________________________ MACTECH ubi dolor ibi digitus

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11340 Loc: Columbus OH	Actually it's only been 15 years since MacCentral started their forums, got all emotional I guess. January 31 1998. There is a link on that page that goes to the section with news stories. I liked the one about the first virtual stock market on the 'Net. Scroll down a little. Think it will ever take off? The earliest forum pages that they have archived is 2000. I could be found as Doc back then. Here it is in its new format. When we had to register I changed to Reboot. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

KateSorensen Obama's Registered: 05/19/01 Posts: 3303	. Joe Carson is who I was trying to think of. Thanks! I just found a wild thread [2008] at MacCentral Cafe where we posted about who had high post counts. Also about a rumor or smart a$$ remark that Joe C. Carson was dead!! Not true. Well at that time it wasn't. Seems he wrote an article for MacLust.com. The site is still there but no J C Carson article. In 2000, we talked about where our nick names originated and I found JCC's name mentioned again: Quote: Posted By: Pops My son-in-law started calling me "Pops" when he first started sending me e-mail. The (OFI) came from a feud I was having with Joe C Carson many moons ago. Pops (OFI) *** Posted By: Drewstre Hiya- -Man, it's been a while! Anyway, I'm sure Mr. Carson peruses these forums every now and then still, even if he doesn't post (although I'm sure the temptation is there... :^) Good to see some old (and I mean that in the best way) familiar faces. I'd be interested in hearing 'bout that feud story... Drewstre . _________________________

Good find, thx. I was #9 #9 #9. I got into it with LordSatan, Habs24, PCGuy etc at MM. I remember being told by Stan to drop it or be gone. I'm a changed man now. My doctors say I'm much better. We don't have many really good one on ones like that anymore. We've learned to put up with each other's quirks? Not that I have any but just saying. This is a good place to start the trip down memory lane. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
