Ashtanga 0 #31 October 18, 2006 I remember Talkback and the Wednesday night Chats. Both kept me highly entertained during my adventures. Just so everyone knows I consider skydivers and DZ.commers family and if I ever offended anyone or pissed anyone off I am sorry. Except for Benforde at Elsinore. If you meet him kick him in the balls for me! No, don't. I actually like him! But not like in Prison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been having a difficult time finding anything of interest in the bonfire lately. I hear that, lately there have been very few threads that caught my attention... most were the 'pay attention to me' threads, 'amuse me' threads or knock offs of existing threads...

lummy 4 #36 October 18, 2006 QuoteI've been having a difficult time finding anything of interest in the bonfire lately. Ya know, having been here for what seems like forever, I'm of the opinion that it's not the forums that have changed as much as I have. Way back when I first started jumping, the mindless drivel was exciting and fun, just like my new found sport. . Here was a bunch of people who "understood", and I wanted to be a part of that crowd, my extended family. After awhile, the newer kids on the block started to take over the scene. The posts started looking different and not as exciting because it wasn't my clique in them as much. Soon, I started feeling like the repost police (whatever happened to Ivan anyways) having seen many of the same topics that were important when I first started but wasn't as important to me having been on the block for awhile. Life went on, other things became more important, newer generations came along and the cycle started over again. The threads started to look like the same ones I had seen time and time again, to the point where it wasn't even worth the effort to read. Now it's more a matter of finding that needle in the haystack. Maybe I'll find a thread from a friend I haven't heard from in a long while or someone else will reminisce the good ole days. I guess in some ways, it's like growing up. So with that all said, where's the boobies?I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

Muenkel 0 #41 October 18, 2006 To those who were not here in the Talk Back days, I'll try to give my explanation of Scott's post. But keep in mind that I do not participate in the Greenie room. He's basically talking about shit being posted just for the sake of posting. Mostly silly, juvenile and ridiculous. Also thrown in are a lot of inside jokes that really should be taken to pm's. There's nothing wrong with Bonfire being humorous, in fact that's probably the primay reason to visit Bonfire. It's the juvenile non-creative attempts at humor that seem to be filling up the forum these days. And yes, I know I can be guilty sometimes.

billvon 3,107 #44 October 18, 2006 >Can some one catch me up? In a nutshell - If Bonfire starts to consist primarily of people posting pictures of their own shit, people posting polls saying "Should the thread about my shit have been deleted? (Yes) (No) (Post more boobies)" people posting polls saying "should people who post polls about their shit be banned?" etc etc then Bonfire may go away (like it did before for a while.)

GogglesnTeeth 6 #46 October 18, 2006 I remember Talk Back!!! I had many a post there before the "big switch" Back in the days when posters had ranks like "newbie" "old hand" "pooh-bah" etc......

jtval 0 #47 October 18, 2006 Damn, that is a long time ago. There are many people here who probably never saw that post. What a shame. Lawrocket. at the time of the post there were LOTS of boobie and titty threads. I had to distinguish it somehow. that was back in the day where a few of us pushed for the word boobie because it seems less offensive and more childish. LOL I dare you to say the word boobie without cracking at least half-a-smile. I had a neutral person try this experiment at a bar. she walked up to 4 swinging dicks and uttered one word and only one word; BOOBIES. Those guys looked at her and smiled so hugely it was almost perverse.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #48 October 18, 2006 Over the past 6 1/2 years I've been on DZ.com I can definately say that it has definate cycles that the forums go through every 18 months to 2 years. More of the same kind of people, coming and going, more of the same kind of stuff, coming and going.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
