random thoughts
try as I may I can't remember what the old sexbox looked like before vbulletin was upgraded. I remember it being superior somehow besides how the "new" one used to refresh to the bottom every 5 seconds making it impossible to read.
There was also a period where we had a front page

I joined right before The Invasion at DJFC's suggestion during my freshmen year of college. My first works were trolling Dirty Hairy about how rich I was or something like that.
It was my first experience with a forum website. It was easy to get addicted right away because it seemed like so much shit was going on. Golden N's, OSTs, contests, invaders from another website, all subforums seemed always active. Everything used to be so mysterious to me, trying to figure out who was who and whatnot. Nubblies seemed like a strange unexplored ecosystem. There wasn't a "read unread posts" button at the time or I didn't know how to use it. I used click onto each subforum individually to read new/updated threads. Now that I'm more seasoned and jaded I barely even notice which subforum a thread is in.

Several things led to a decrease in activity in my eyes from when I first joined. 1rst was The April Fool's joke which weeded out much of the delicious Troll Food and Butthurts. Then there were the Dark Times where this site couldn't stay up for more than an hour due to various issues. I think there was one point where it was down for like a straight month. I was a proponent of upgrading the site but I remember a lot of people didn't like the change and that may have played into some of it as well.
