Hey thanks for the recognition! I've really enjoyed my time here at DGN I've met a lot of cool people and though I've taken a few breaks due to life, I believe I've been on this board for about 12 years now. I know my profile says October of 04, but I know the board was changed over sometime around then and my original join date was lost. I know for sure I joined before I went to Disney World in '03 because I remember posting pics of my trip. Anyhow, yeah, it's been a great 12 years and I'm glad to see folks are still here with me.

Hopefully one of these days (wallet and work permitting) I will make the trek out to the D for some City Club, or maybe a different venue since all I've ever been to is CC and honestly the past few times I've been there in the past 2 years, it's been dead and just sucks now.

Anyway, thank you to everyone for putting up with me over the years :D

You're welcome, dude!

I'm a total noob though and not all that helpful. Just hopin to find some new concert buddies more than anything, and maybe some other chicks who can appreciate a nice sense of fashion :)

I just gotta say that I realize more and more how hard it is to find new friends. I moved a lot growing up, 3 different elementary schools and 4 different high schools, so what little good friends I have are within the past few years. Even they don't have all that much in common with me.

And now at age 24 I feel like a total creeper asking for girls' numbers. Why is it so weird if I think someone's cool and wanna hang out some time? Some things my boyfriend just can't be talked with about. I just want a same sex pal who knows when I make a gothy literature/movie/music reference.

Anyways, hoping I haven't scared people away. You all seem pretty tight, as people and with eachother.

Hey...here's a secret, I've only been on the board going on 2 years as of July 17th. To be honest, I learned about most of the Ol' Guard from posts they started nearly a decade ago (for some). It just feels like I know most of these members from the stories and life experiences they cared to share here.

And in my opinion, you too can consider yourself to be one of the "pretty tight" people

Hey, I met most of my close friends on here. Friends that have made me wonder how lucky I have been to have met such awesome people.

Be careful though. I've met some pretty messed up people here too. People who make me question if I want to be here because they creep me out. But then I realize..........

They're the same people :teehee:

When I look over my friends list on Facebook, I see an interesting trend. About 10% is family. Another 10% is high school. About 15% is college. There's about 5% from work. Around 20% is from various other sources, interests, hobbies, and such. Then the highest percentage of about 40% is from DGN. Granted, these are just quick estimates because I didn't want to spend the time actually analyzing things.

There's another post around here somewhere from a few weeks back where I was trying to think of all the married couples I know who met each other on DGN. My wife and I are one of them.

'at age 24' haha. Most people i know (including myself) don't really start to know their head from their backside until about 20. Wouldn't even think twice about "being old". Honestly. :)

At some point someone always rubs someone the wrong way, and depeding on their personality it can turn into a big drama, or nothing at all becomes of it. We tend to have a lot more people in that second group than the first. :)

Heres another secret: Tron Rocks!

Around 20% is from various other sources, interests, hobbies, and such. Then the highest percentage of about 40% is from DGN.

Nice to see this pointed out.

That seems to be fairly common, even if many of the people that I see on facebook were never really on DGNers per say, and just showed up on the board like twice, the sort of "DGN Sphere of Influence" seems to cover large swaths of many peoples friend networks. Especially people that were on say 4+ years ago. (Around the time of my last big "get sick" episode and I just didn't have the motivation to keep up the constant recruiting and real-life socializing) .

At any rate I'm grateful for your continued presence.

I met my fiancee right before i joined dgn, but we may not have ended up together without dgn

Hopefully we had some small positive effect at some point over the years. :) Glad to have you around sir.

I didn't realize that part about your join date. For a long time after we switched over the old board was still accessible but due to the whims of the EzBoard (Later changed to "Yuku" (2009)) the data now seems all lost. I cant seem to find an archived copy of it anywhere, and there was no way to backup the actual user account data anyway. (That kind of crap is one of the billion reasons we switched). I had updated the join dates of as many of the old ezboard people I knew about to have the same join date here but I know I didnt catch everyone. I could , if you want just change the date to whatever your best guess is. :)

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

      What Are You Thinking? (cont'd)

      By creatureofthenyte · Posted

      I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.

      You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.

      Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
