I remember: Anfrey (just saw him and his now wife this summer), DirtyD (we used to talk on the phone when I lived on the east coast), Akiahara, EM1_Project (RIP), BlackHope (freaking out on me when I said his dad's house looked similar to my step-grandmother's house; "Don't act like you know me." lulz), Beelzebubba (probably one of the oldest people who was on here), handlebars (FB friends still; met him in '05 too), still living with Eran.
As for unbanning the permabanned ones just for s***s and giggles, what does a permaban mean if they unban them all? It's not like they're banned from the internet.
...and others to return to CC and start posting. It's soooo boring here without you!!!!!
CC needs you in this time of desperation.
(Joey will hand out cash prizes to those who respond)
biz, this does not include you. You may stay at the Martha Stewart forum consulting on Hash recipes for brownies.
Wait... how much money are we talking?
I bestow permanent royal status to your membership. Expect a laudatory PM from Jay Jay.
Hmmm...I don't think there was a VIP Member label in those days.
Access to VIP used to be something special years ago. Now everyone can get in it seems. It doesn't really feel like it means anything anymore.
I have a lot of the OG's on my FB. They don't WANT to come back...
This. ClubCivic I will occasionaly come to if I'm that bored. And I'm already really bored on H-T, but it's usually not even bad enough to make me come back here. I signed on today because someone told me there was a thread asking about me. I found two. Weird.
Current FB post about H-T (though, really, it counts for most Honda sites):
Been posting less and less on H-T lately. Logged on to see if there was anything interesting.
Two of the first threads I saw were one asking how to replace the plastic emblem on the trunk of a Civic and another asking how to fix foglights on a Civic (one of his questions was how to remove the H3 light bulb).
f***. You assholes wonder why fans of other car makes hate Honda enthusiasts. H-T makes me feel like one of the smartest people in the world sometimes.
I feel like if there were more focus on teaching people to learn for themselves and not just make stupid threads whenever, then there would be more quality discussion going on.
Hell, I've seen people make threads about something and even admit, "I was too lazy to search. Making a thread was easier. lol"
That should be an automatic ban imo.
glad to see im loved
I wanted to just put a simple wave smilie here, but apparently there isn't one unless I want to post Santa waving.
Either way, I remember you.
biz was overly empowered by oc-civic. I liked oc, but this was a huge mistake.
What happened with oc_civic? What happened in general to the site mod/admin? Politics? Details? PM would be cool so I can get the nitty gritty.
whats og? its a time tested debate, is it 5 years is it from the start, is it post count, is it age, is it the car you drive? i need to know if i should "check in"
To me an OG is someone that's an '04 or earlier, generally speaking. If you didn't join before I moved to the west coast (Sept '05), I won't think of you as an OG.
I remember thinking of Eran as a noob for a long time. lol
For H-T it's something different, seeing as the site's been up since '99 iirc.
Anyone know what the start date actually was?
User=1 : 12-31-1969 (clearly edited join date)
User=2 : 11-11-2002 (likely also edited join date; user has no posts though and I think this was a test account)
User=3 : 03-01-2005 (also edited join date; first post was 09-26-2002)
User=4 : 08-01-2002
User=5 : 08-01-2002
User=6 : 08-01-2002
User=7 : 08-01-2002
User=8 : 08-02-2002
User=9 : 08-03-2002
User=10 : 08-03-2002
So it looks like the site probably started on or soon before August 1, 2002.
There used to be a thread that went over some of the (at the time) still active members and I compiled a post showing their real join dates in order, but I think the thread got deleted at some point.
What about Eran and Nofx... interesting characters... I left for like two years but I remember those too...
lol, that's a good way to put it
I was known to be one of the nicer people on the site. Then I started dating Eran and some people got really stupid about it. Plus I got lumped in with Eran on some other sites. If he was a d**k, people saw it as both of us being a d**k.
I got stalked and harassed by a few people on here because I broke up with a guy who used to be on here and he lied and said I cheated on him. I only even dated him for a f***ing month!
whats the point of this again? and how many "og" have a civic these days?
I still own the same Civic I had when I joined.
All OG's, come teach us newbs how to not be thin skinned little pussies and learn how to joke around and have fun. it would be much appreciated, this place needs some fun
The site was smaller then. It was more personal and there was more pressure to not be a d**k. Everyone knew who you were.
The bigger the site got, the less personal and worst it got imo.
Can a moderator please answer this question?
When I was a mod it never listed old user names. You're a mod on H-T now, right? Both are vB and pretty standard settings I think.
