I also just remembered Cherry Crush whom was a huge Garbage fan. If I actually think about it, there's probably a lot of former posters that I could recall and went MIA.

What happened to many of the old posters anyway? pen, lockebox, etc. I speak to pen occasionally as I know him in person. I don't know how this is much of an excuse, but apparently when ProBoards changed the look of this board, it looked unattractive to him, so for that reason he doesn't come here anymore. ::shrugs:: I know he posts frequently on the TuneLab and is involved in this music madness tournament they have going on there. I've been telling myself for forever to sign up and join there as well. I know a lot of you are also on there, but I keep forgetting. pen is actually coming down here to go with me to a Linkin Park/30 Seconds To Mars/AFI concert, so I'll tell him you all said hi and will make him strap me to my computer until I sign up for Tunelab :) Damn, I miss that guy too. Smart poster. I've also been meaning to make an account over there too, as I was told that more people there share my tastes in music.

What was his opinion? lol Basically, he thought mid 2000s Alternative sucked, when I thought that was the best Alternative was. If you want to see the discussion about that, check out the "Light 'Em Up" thread, lol. ah lol Well, by no means did mid-00s alternative suck, it just kind of didn't exist apart from the odd indie rock band (Killers, Interpol, Bravery) and pop punk. The majority of it was just active rock music, lol.

Also, it reminds me of high school.

Yeah, I remember he posted a very brief comment of a random song and those of us who have been here for awhile were like "Holy shit! It's him!" I didn't mind the guy either as his knowledge was so off that it became a joke. It was a damn long time ago.

Kinda like I did How random was my return, by the way? Pretty shocking from what I remember. That would be awesome if everyone from the past just returned to post a small comment and afterward were just like "Oh, btw... hey again everyone..."

I'm going to try to get him to make another appearance here again when I see him in a few weeks. He might be the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to music. It really is his life. You don't want to know how many classes he skipped so he could download a random album so he wouldn't have to wait until after class to listen to it. I've always told him to get some kind of job in the music industry. Maybe one day...

I wish I could take back some of the posts I made when I first joined here lol. Same here. I joined in 2005. I'm pretty sure I was a bit obnoxious back then being in college. I'm much more laid back of a person than I was back then. I'm not sure if it showed as a poster though.

My first post was creating a thread for Cavo's "My Little Secret" and he scolded me because there was already a thread lol. He also used to correct me when I said "[band] should have picked this song as the next single." Good times.

He's not always the easiest to get along with if you don't agree with his musical opinion, but deep down is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I'm not much of a argumentative person, but I remember times in college where if we had conflicting his opinions, he wouldn't let me leave the room until he understood why I disagreed with him. I would yell at him "Stop verbally whipping me!" Ah. I miss those days :)

I remember reading older threads and seeing your avatar everywhere. It was the cover of Our Lady Peace's Burn I believe. Yeah, OLP at the time (and still probably are) my favourite band ever. I was obsessed back then, and I don't think I had ever been so excited for a new album from a band. There was a 4 year gap from "Healthy" to "Burn Burn" after all. Kinda like I did How random was my return, by the way? Pretty shocking from what I remember. That would be awesome if everyone from the past just returned to post a small comment and afterward were just like "Oh, btw... hey again everyone..." Haha, that would be fantastic. Everyone from then is older and probably wiser now, so I'm sure the discussion would be fantastic. Hell, even Artie can return as part of that group
