It must have been around the same time, I didnt have reliable internet at home, so college, 2003-4 would be when I started looking for music and stuff. Probably didnt find it right away.
I had this same nick, I figured Id used the same, just in case. I was never a prominent user or a popular one at that. I remember a guy named IIIDInsane minion or something, he would post all the time, everywhere. Also the friends I made there, bexie, hide, psy, man there were others...
The death of a very good online friend I met through there just got me nostalgic for the good old days of forums and finding people who like the same weird shit as you.
