Riiiight.

Hello Eike. Matt's still the bitch he's always been, but that's OK. He's good at it.

It's odd cos I have been on here nearly 5 years now and for 5 years people have always moaned about "the old days" or "back when it was the Dirty list" or "it's not the same as it used to be". It comes and goes in waves.

Everything changes. People change. They get older, they get married, they have kids, they get jobs, they spend less time messing about on internet forums and more time getting on with their lives (until you get as old as me and Rog and then you suddenly find yourself with more time on your hands again cos you are too old and achey to go out partying every night ) And newer, younger people come along, with different views, different ideas, different outlooks on life, and so it goes on.

So yeah. Everything changes. All the time. That is one of the certainties of the Universe. It is about the only thing you can be sure of, after death and taxes. Nothing ever stays the same.

Good to see you back again though, Eike, even if it was only a drive-by moaning. I've missed ya!

Yeah, that's for sure. When i joined in 2002, i felt a bit of an outsider to the folks that had been here before, and it was clearly a tight-knit community, often giving me the sense that i had missed something big with the old boards, dogboyheadset, rtsr, whathaveyou.

I think it has to do with the time and context. A decade or more ago, internet forums were a bit more novel - a little clunky, less cluttered, perhaps less frequented by your average internet surfer. I hear and see this in other fan forums, too - the old days have a certain nostalgia for some people, more like being in a club. Now that the internet is so engrained in peoples' daily activities and you can get pretty much anything you want on it, there's probably more traffic here but less folks sticking around giving it a sense of community (present company excluded! You're all great!)

Also, t he comment above about UW being a shadow of former selves - that's an okay opinion to have, though i disagree wholeheartedly, for the same reasons that Janie mentioned above - everything changes. Hanging onto the nice nostalgia of Dubnobass and STITI is fine, but that's a decade+ ago. UW have in recent years been extremely prolific and varied in output.

[potatobroth]

wow. now that is ugly.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Well I blame Dirty0900 for wanting flashing neons, personally.

I quite like pink and mauve, though, in a girly way.

Just NOT ON DIRTY!
