who has been here the longest?

[Humbled]

JRose5 banned me like 4x before he left no warnings or nothing. I think I've been banned 5x after that.smh


Honestly I've probably been banned more times than anyone on this site. I think I got a week ban 3x, not sure if they do that anymore....

Bruh, JRose was racist as hell. I still got PMs from him going in on me

everyone claims they were lurking in 1999/2000

Everybody always claims they lurked then signed up 2 years later....

Its believable for a site like this though, since im sure a lot of people started lurking in the Nike/JB sections, for info

Not really. The Ezboard days to my knowledge had no wait time during sign up periods. So you were active right away, as soon I as you signed up. So besides the fact it may have taken you an extra 3 minutes to sign up, I don't see how lurking could've been more prevalent than to sign up and just post and be registered.

I've been a member since August of 2001. I was 14 years old at the time, and because the sneaker love was so secluded back than - it created a real community-feel because you didn't see many people relate to our likes and interests during that time. It was actually difficult to find someone who passionly loved sneakers as much as our members did. So we kind of laid the foundation for those were interested in seeking info for sneakers via online. And that conglomerate is what formed our big forums like the General and Sports & Training.

I'm 27 now and I feel like I still belong here after all these years. I've seen a lot of changes and a lot of stories and a lot of people come and go..

Jrose banned me for having a sn called "I'm a little lad", then my avy said "that likes berries and cream". From an old Starburst commercial. That's when I had to turn on him.

Started lurking Niketalk Summer 2000, signed up 10/23/2000.

 

[toast1985]

I remember Niketalk being referenced left and right on Uptowns.net, and I would come on here and think this place is too wired. I got used to the format, and it was a wrap since then.
