Is it that no one ever argued about anything, especially football, coaches, players, or the band? That's what I remember at least!

The strings were too long on the cans and you could not communicate. Then all the passenger pigeons died. Users could not understand the Navaho code. So they had to go to another format.

And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride, and spread the alarm To every Middlesex village and farm. For the country folk to be up, and to arm.
I learned that poem all the way back in high school. Can't believe I still remember it. All the brain cells are not yet dead.

Ha. That brought back some school memories for sure. We did a lot of Paul Revere stuff in elementary school.

Those were some crazy times man.

I thought tnet had a hard reset in 99 for some reason. Probably the oldest I've seen on here.

The thing I miss the most is just working on the site in Clemson House I think, despite being on a 14.4k modem connection, hah. I wish we had taken some pics of our room, but not sure any exist.
The board was more civil I'm sure with fewer members, but it didn't take long for trolls to find us
