Did JP ever really post here or was just a foolish dream of Elysium that I had?

That must mean mulder is arcadia?
And that you forgot me! :cry:

And bd.

Yeah, it hit me as I was falling asleep yesterday that that was probably why he was hitting on me in the $20-thread. Weirdest way evar to remind me. Funny tho.

JP and manker used to have the most fantastic conversations. But not on the 'phone though :smilie4:

If I could be arsed I'd find that link.

I think snee has got it spot on. In the old days we were idealists trying to change the world (and get kazaalite to work properly). Now everyone is just looking for invites...

Also I spent ages purging my name from the archives of this site, you git! :pinch:

Also everyone seems to have forgotten Lamsey...

Back of the fucking net plouse won :smilie4:

:) Ahh the good old days,I came here for serious advice,which I have always received,and I stayed for the madness that was Teh Lounge.
I was seduced away by the evils of Eve which I managed to break by not remembering to renew my GTC on time :(
Still love popping in from thyme to thyme.

There were distinct eras as I recall. All I knew was Kazaa and a little time later K-Lite.

There was an initial excited puddle of erudite people. I just wanted music. There was a chat function on K-Lite but it seemed nobody wanted to talk to anybody. There was a predisposed suspicion which precluded intimacy. It took me a long time to believe that you, as a nerd, as a consumer, as an audience, as a student, as a scholar can actually obtain all of the information you require without having to mine libraries or unforthcoming texts. I can still hardly believe it.

I ended up here somewhat later than others. JP had already sunken a lodestone. As had Hobbes and Kev and Clocker. We had Crazy Billy Bats and Jonno and LilMiss and Bo and Titewad and Riddler and Zed and Snny and Nikkid and BD and FC and Adster and loads of other fuckers who existed and thrived upon common interest long before bittorent was ever even thunk of.

There is a vast amount of really interesting stuff which happened after that but I really can't be arsed telling you about it just now.

Nothing very sensitive was touched upon. It was Care-Bear implicit. Debates were long-drawn and sterile. These were the Salad Days.

I believe that the first quantifiable turd in the swimming pool was Chalkmongoose.

This was the end of Eden and what led Bazza post blood-letting pics in the lounge.

Throughout all of this, of course, was JP, Big Jim, PB Montgolfier, Mr JP Fugley, J'Pol, FromagePais, JPaul, and several dozen others.

He is the lounge and the lounge aspires to be him again.

He is my fwend and I miss him.

I hate to admit it but what you just wrote here is better than a lot of what I turned in for credit at University.
