1000 posts on dial-up = long time!

fiveohpatrol · 01-24-2002, 10:32 PM

No real point to this thread, just thought I'd put my 1000th post as a new thread instead of in someone else's thread. This way, it wastes EVEN more space

It doesn't seem like I've posted 1000 times already, I wish there was an option to where we can go back and see EVERY post we ever made, or thread that we started. I know we can see back to a certain time, but I wanna see what my VERY FIRST post was. It was probably some dumb question asking about changing oil or wiper blades

Actually I do know one of my first few posts was asking about the AOD to T-5 swap, which it took me about 2 years after that to finally do it, but I did it and without this site, there's no way I could have done it. I've learned so much more than I ever thought I would. I've also met some good friends on here, actually a good friend told me about the site and got me started here (302man), thanks Tim, by the way my car WILL eventually be faster than yours

To the ones who have helped me through all the problems I've had, I just want to say thank you. I feel as though I know you all even though most of you live atleast 3-4 states away.

ok, I'll stop taking up space now, see ya'll later

Congrats! I was pretty excited when I hit a grand too!

Hey we both got on here in feb of 2000. I know how long it takes with a dang dial up. That is all i ever had. I hope i can get a dsl or cable in Kansas.

I can't even imagine navigating a message board with a dial up. I would probably give up. You guys deserve a special award or something!

I don't know off the top how many posts I've got (I don't feel like checking), but it's around 2400, I think. That is alot of posts. In some ways, that number doesn't seem possible, but then again, I feel like I've been involved with a hundred or more multiple post threads trying to walk someone through a problem. Funny thing is I actually feel that I don't reply very often at all. There are a dozen or more times each time I come here that I don't reply when I do have a comment in mind. Those are usually opinions, though, which I've found are often best kept to myself.

Reward your new found status with a DSL setup!

Take care,

Almost all of my posts are from dial-up as well. Not only that, but dial-up from the middle of no-where over about 20 miles of a single phone line before it gets to a switch box. Oh, and most of it was free service (remember the days of NetZero and BlueLight?) where they kick you off every 5 minutes or so.

I spent one summer living on campus at Texas Tech with OC3 lines to every appartment. Damn! That was incredible! Now I'm back to the good ol' dial-up, but at least I'm only about 1 mile away from the server I dial into.

Congrats! I got to 500 posts really quickly but I've been lately with life. I havn't had much time to get on the site as much as I would like too but I always find time.

I'm slowly working my way to 1,000....it's probably be another 6 months before i hit it, i can't imagine having to go through dialup though, that has to be aggrivatingly slow.
