You feel old, Churba? I guess I must be like the great grandmother here. Quick, someone pass me my cane of beatings. Though you will suffer my anecdotes instead.
I started reading Flipside in Book 0, when Brion was still working on chapter two. When was that, '99? I was a regular reader for several years before I signed up for the forums, and went through four or so forum moves, but wasn't a regular at all. Mostly I think the post count for all those years up might have been combined to be ~450.
Speaking of feeling old, did you guys
read xkcd? Could start whipping out conversations about the good old days, when we walked five miles in the snow to dial into a bbs.
