Oh. There are so many World Cups it's difficult to know.

Now that comment, coming from a seppo (so many "World Cups" where only you guys participate) gave me a genuine chuckle this morning.

Dang that's pre-me!
[edit]
I looked back at my first account Old Timer[^] and noticed I didn't post in the lounge only on articles. CG and Marc were my first contacts here and formed my opinion of the site, needless to say it was a good impression almost 12 years here.

I still have one of the two email addresses I had in 99. It's configured to be sucked into my gmail account where all the spam is automatically eaten; but if someone were to send a legit email to it, I should still receive it. (The other one was a school account and was turned off shortly after I graduated - they wanted $$ to keep it alive and it was enough of a spam cesspit that I'd largely abandoned it 2 years prior.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I joined here on August 24th 2002. I seem to recall lurking for some time before that. Still, that was a quick (almost) 12 years and I'm still addicted. Get all stroppy if I don't get my daily does of insults on CP.

Yes, I know about that. Ticket with Arvixe: waiting for them to respond.

Did the lounge then really go months between new threads, or'd a lot of posts get eaten when someone forgot to feed the hamsters on a long weekend.

Guess it was similar to that other Lounge we now have...[^]
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I was wondering if that site was still active, haven't been there in a long time, forgot the name and didn't save the link.

So here I was, sitting on the couch minding my own business, when suddenly I was 2 years old again! And then I turned 100! And everything went black, and suddenly I walked among dinosaurs and at the same time I watched flying cars coming by... And I thought to myself "who the heck is causing this disturbance...?" And I went to the lounge (first place I'm looking when stuff like that happens), and here you are.
Well, a tyrannosaurus ripped my pants, so I'm sending you my bill for a new pair.
It's an OO world.

I haven't found a way to see my posts further back than last month, but I know they go back to 1999 at least.
