Origins of DGN

[Head Wreck]

i cant remember.

back when the boards started getting busy enough for me to derail a thread daily.

if only to wind troy up

actually found DG.n looking for bettie page photos for a friends art coursework. and as i was an EZ Board global member i joined. then become a bought in member... untill i temporarilly lost interest (woman occupying me till i got bored of her)

[gothicmom]

I found my ez board info I joined February 22, 2003. My husband found the site while doing a google search for detroit goth.

anyone know what ever happened to Lvthien? not luthien, who's on here now... this guy had short black hair, glasses, and a pocketwatch, from ezboard.

I remember Thorn, with the ladybug picture.

my husband actually works with him. he was talking about him recently. i only figured out they worked together cuz one day i saw him on his aim buddies list and i was like i know that guy! ok well i don't know that guy but i know that guy! and he just gave me a :blink look. and i ran into him one day at my husband's work as well. so not sure what is going on with him but i know he is alive and kicking.

[Kiss The Midget]

i remember manic, marblez, critter, troy of course , wendy, kiss the midget - but as christophsbite, bill, spacin, ummm a girl i forget her "screen name" anarcadia or something but trase was her real name as far as i remember, who else.... hmm as i hear the names i remember them... from back then. kivo was not posting when i was on - at lesat not much at all. but i do recall seeing he was a member who posted here and there (by the time i joined anyways) thorn who turned out to be my friend, stalking me. just kidding... sort of. hehehe. long story... funny but... ok never mind....

can't really think of anyone else off the top of my head.

Joined in the fall of 2001, a week or two after Fierce Critter. Was in an email exchange w/ Troy on one of his first recruiting runs for the board. Topic of discussion was overplayed songs, I believe.

I remember:

*Fierce Critter's original board name

*Wendy actually posting the Wendy Questions

*When the current mods joined the board

*The Troy Spiral Show playlists

*Zhukov's very german-esque biker gear photo

*Posting a rant about thick vs thin-skinned that ultimately caused a member to drop out from the board for a while

People I remember from those days:

Troy, Wendy, Fierce Critter, KissTheMidget (aka cristophbites), Manic Queen, & Scary Guy

Ok, I can't handle it anymore...her name was ARACHNIA!!!!!!!! I have been trying to hold my tongue and not correct people as much lately but I ....just...couldn't...do...it....

Arachnia was on with her husband Slipstream (before the addition of his aka DJ Bradd).

I have been through a lot with this board and have gone through some huge changes during this time. It is very dear to me. It stinks that the older posts were lost from EZBoard, I used to look back at times as if it were some kind of diary.

The following snippets of my life were lost (thank god for some!!):

~ I was married when I first joined - then divorced.

~ My mother had MS and was ailing, she passed away in 2003. I posted quite a few heartfelt poems and heartbreak posts which I would like to be able to go back and visit.

~ A former moderator effectively shut DGN down for about 2 weeks with a clever yet destructive temper tantrum.

~ Taz (aka Mr Mortician)

~ Quite a few people wondered what the hell was a "jarodaka"

~ We had 2 group camping events that were just amazing. The first of which was way beyond expectations. The pictures were lost. I almost burned down the cabin. There ere candles, fire, music, dancing, talking and a whole lotta alcohol. Apparently pixi sticks and zima is a good combination. Deep throat contest (how hysterically embarassing). And the "guess the breast contest" was born.

~ I was excruciatingly open in the sex and sexuality forum in the early days. This was not found to be helpful when a male DGN'er was having "issues" with his live-in GF (also a poster) at the time. I met the two of them in person at an informal gathering. I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling from her. He was not allowed to come camping with us since I was there and I was so obviously a sex-fiend. From what I understand, shortly thereafter, she told him to leave and "go find marblez".

~ Lost: The real and true description of where I got my name.

~ Black Sunday was not the loveable creature he is today. He had at least 2 other incarnations and BOY did he piss a lot of people off.

~ Remember miss antropia? She was a 15 year old girl that got many of the guys all riled up with her schoolgirl stories and modeling pictures...she turned out to be a 40 some year old man that had been known to go from forum to forum scamming people. In one of his personalities, he was even supposed to be some Seattle woman's Maid of Honor at her wedding!!

~ Oh, if I were to name my DGN crushes (most of which went nowhere, by the way!)

~ A certain member was banned, came back as someone else, was banned, came back as someone else, was banned....came back... I guess he really liked the place.

~ Marblez was not a goth..err, wait..nevermind, no change there

~ We had a crazy experience where some bad blood was created between DGN and another popular forum from another state. LOL, remember the masks they made? Sorry Troy, but that was very funny.

~ Drama Drama Drama, the relationship twists and turns, it has been like our own little gothic soap opera.

~ Neverending "I'm so goth" threads and how many times did we read the question, "what is goth?" Did anyone actually come up with a conclusive answer to those?

~ emember the egyptian visual theme?

I'll think of more later. slee.p...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The botanical gardens? Met a bunch of people there for the first time.

[bav]

If I recall correctly, it was a picnic at Nichols Arboreatum on the 4th of July...2002? I didn't go as I had prior engagements, but I do remember being at work making the map for it.

Or am I thinking of an entirely different event?

Yeah, I think you have it right, but it was 2003 I believe.

Ok, even though I promised not to necro old threads...and this hasn't been posted in since 05, I feel it has a lot of valuable info (since I'm writing a piece of goth as a subculture for my pop culture course) but it's also a good way for the 4th and 5th gen (don't start arguing on what makes up which gen lol) to know where they came from...so I'm bumping this!

Enjoy memory lane to those of you who've been here forever and posting (I mean you Troy, I was just told about your Radio show by FC this weekend) and for you younger members...get caught up on your history lesson!

hah. Nice. I've got no problem with necro posts. Honestly I never understood the problem people had with them, if there is info still to be discussed or even if people want to post on an old topic just for the heck of it either way seems fine to me.

This topic in particular is a good one.

OMG You're alive! I was getting worried!

You've got to remember, I got my message board training from a sports memorabilia trading site, where stuff changes constantly, so necroing was a BIG no-no lol old habits die hard!
