25 Years

[Ray_Krebbs]

I first came to these forums in early 2001 when I was 13. I am 37 about to be 38. A lot has changed here. I saw a lot of people come and leave.

Congratulations on 25 years @Ray_Krebbs !

Time does fly by. I lurked on the old Ultimate Dallas forums in the early-2000's, prior to the 2004 DVD season by season sales. It wasn't until 2011 that I got brave enough to join. Indeed what I miss is the former members who have left. There has been some really great people here over the years.

I wish I were here when Dallas, War of the Ewings aired in 1998. I think the original forum started in '97 after Dallas, JR Returns aired.

Does anyone remember our crazy caption thread

Does anyone remember our crazy caption thread

So many things were lost in the 2016 crash.

I think I was proudest of the 'Sue Ellen vs. Jesus' thread (containing the unholy prayer 'The Lout and Miss Shepard') and the 'Non-sensical insults' thread (on the DYNASTY page), even if for no reason. But they are now lost to time.

My first experience here was odd -- a precursor to numerous other odd experiences: I also joined 25 years ago, in September 2000 (having nothing to do after nursery school but go online), and I didn't post much in the beginning. And when I returned that following February, I found my chosen screen moniker had been appropriated by someone else, and I had to re-register.

Since then, it's been nothin' but fun!


Still, today, a one-finger typer:

I lost a lot of my fanfiction in 2016. Fortunately I held a lot in other places. A lot unfortunately is gone and not coming again

Hi @Ray_Krebbs [ I have moved this thread into the "Comfy lounge forum" as its not directly Dallas show related

Hope you will be comfortable here and congrats on your 1/4 century

Thanks for sharing and Happy Anniversary!
I have been here since 2004, so I arrived a few years after you. It was 20 years last year. I think it's scary how fast the time has flown by!

Let's do another 25 years "fixing" the dream season and learning "how to love The Colbys"!

When I hit my 25th anniversary back in June it was hinted that something "silver" would be coming my way. Just my luck: it was my hair.

Around the same time, mine started falling out. Through 2024, I had a luxuriously thick head of completely dark hair. But aging -- or a recently acquired nicotine lozenge addiction -- got to me.

I obtained some of that minoxidil stuff, but I've barely used it. So I guess I don't care.

At my age, avoiding going dead-o early is the primary focus.
