I found this board sometime in the summer of 2002. I was a poster at SayHey, (formerly) the greatest Kylie board in all the land, and a poster named chilla there/allihc here posted a thread that detailed how Love at First Sight was doing at radio. Some poster said that it wouldn't rise above #11 on pop - I was so angry. (they were right!)
I started lurking then. I was intrigued at a board that was filled with kids my own age, who watched TRL like I did. I made my first post in May 2003 (?). i think it was in a soap thread that former ATRL moderator Danielle (she of the babymama drama) started. Then, I got a PM - from Ed. He said that he had seen me posting about soaps, and that I looked "cool." He and Tina invited me into my first AIM chat - and my (online and somewhat sadly, real) life was never the same.
It's hard for me to put seven years as a poster into one brief synopsis. I've been here for a substantial amount of ATRL's existance, and I'd like to think I impacted a lot - I'm not egotistic enough to think I impacted everything; that's why there are nineteen people ahead of me.
But ...
- I did come up with the name of "Popfusion." (If you ever find yourself in an argument with a humorless Southeast Asian, I'm to blame!)
- I started the ATRL Top 50 (you're welcome)
- I can't tell you the amount of lists and things I've tried to make work on this forum ...
- and I have a reputation for not finishing (almost) anything ever.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. For the most part, I've really enjoyed my time here - I think I'm the first moderator to be unceremoniously dropped and then welcomed back. And, you new girls have me to thank for Random Thoughts! I've made so many pseudo-friends, real friends, and tons of enemies! (some still yet to come ...)
Peace!
