Posted by DSMRoadster, Oct-11-07 11:13 AM
I've been on this board since Dino was a clean cut 19 year old straight edge and Juan posted regularly. A few us who are still on grew up together into manhood on this board. I see it's been quiet for the last couple of years. So how old is everyone here who posts regularly? And tell us what you do.

Hey Juan, good to see you posting. I know it's been a while, but how's your medical condition regarding your treatment a few years back?

I created this thread because I want to get a feel for the environment in here as it clearly has changed big time. I want to reignite the excitement in here. I'll be posting a lot more stuff on current events, stupid things and funny shit just so we all can have a good time and share views and ideas. I've been spending more time on r6 and g35 forums that I forgot where my enthusiasm started. This board just makes me feel young again. I might not own a 2gnt anymore, but I have a lot of love for this board and the fellas I e-grew up with.

things are going well, thanks for askin. Aside from a couple minor issues, I am pretty much back to normal.

I am quite fortunate this respect. Things could have been much worse. I've seen those reports of the guys "over there" getting TBIs from IED shock waves and the like. Have to say I have a real compassion for them...

I can't even remember what name i posted under on the ITW board, since you could change SNs with each post. It would be cool of the posts from that old board had been archived somewhere where we could go back and look.
