Thanks for facilitating some awesome friendships and experiences, HH. Still waiting for that giraffe bbq though.

Personally I've never been threatened with eternal torture by an atheist, nor have they knocked on my door or tried to hand me a "free" book in an airport. I like that bit.

Unfortunately, winsor won’t be able to appreciate that description, as he doesn’t see color

Yeah. But enough dog piling and most people just don’t think it’s worth it any more. Can’t blame them; there’s a reason most of us don’t go on Truth Social to interchange, either. Wendy P.

I’ve enjoyed having a number of the more right leaning people back posting (and some new ones). The world is full of echo chambers and people hiding in their safe spaces unwilling to have their opinions challenged. It takes guts to stand up for your beliefs when you’re outnumbered.

Thanks for the 23 years of great memories and experiences from the time I have been on this site! I had to look to see my registration date and it was way back in 2001 - That alone was half a lifetime ago. This site was a huge part of my life for a long time and is how I met my wife, some of my best friends and introduced me to a wide group of people that I have had the pleasure of sharing some of the best and worst experiences ever. I remember some of the Perris, Raeford, SDC Summerfest and WFFC DZ.com events as highlights. I kept missing some of the Christmas Skydive Arizona events and had huge cases of FOMO at the time when we saw the post event stories. I still have photos from one of the Dropzone load at Perris with @billvon and @wmw999 hanging on my wall that everyone asks about all the time. Learning to wingsuit with @SkymonkeyONE back when a Birdman GTi was considered "advanced", heading to TX and doing CRW with @faulknerwn, heading to FL sleeping in my car to be able to hang out and jump with multiple DZ.commers over the holiday breaks. I spent the better part of 5-8 years traveling around meeting up with a huge list of posters like @sunshine, @jerm, @wingnut, @skymama, and dozens of others. I can't forget all the drama that came from the drunk dial list and of course all the arguments that came out of stepping up to moderate. Running the incidents forum and database taught me a huge level of respect for my own limits since in the back my mind while at the DZ as the list of all the situations that I had spent hours reviewing, documenting and then watching others start making the start of the same series of decisions. I stepped away for a while since I was off doing other things but the time here shaped a large part of my life. PS if anyone can tell me how to mass backup my PM's it would be awesome!

And should. We went overboard on pushing competition just as we did by, effectively, telling every Tandem jumper they aren't validated as a skydiver until they start AFF or whatever.

I meant awful as in the original sense, full of awe.

Is that you still crying about how unfair your ban was, or the face you made because you just realised how badly you've been had? If the latter, glad I could help!

My favorite childhood memory was building sandcastles with my grandmother. That is, until my dad took her urn away from me.

Man To Librarian: "Excuse me, I'm looking for the new book about living with a micro-penis" Librarian: "I don't know if it's in yet" Man: "Yeah, that's the one"

How we got past this bullshit, I will never understand. Americans are basically fucking stupid. Oh wait, sorry.... it's a cult. The election is over but they will fly the flags for years to come.

Washington? Not Florida, Moscow and wherever Elon lives?

Dude! I can still ban you, y’know! Wendy P.

Remember when the best thing about Trump was that his government wouldn't be beholden to rich campaign donors? Now the best thing about Trump is that his government will be run by rich campaign donors! It really all makes sense if you just look at it sideways and squint a bit. Not like a cult at all.

Explain? When you know everything there is to know, explanations are redundant.

Possible it won't miss you either.
