@Cody that is so upsetting

 

@Fucking Dustin

 

I think some band may have used those drawings as album covers or something. Could be imagining this tho

 

I CAN'T WAIT

 

The closest Cane’s is an hour away. Whenever I’m allowed to be in a car with another human being I’m gonna do it. I think about it on a weekly basis and have told countless people about the date. It’s a classic

 

I miss how forums were back then. I mean it was chaos and a lot of people treating others terribly, but forums in general were a much different beast back then than they are now.

 

Was it Sweezy/Gaston? That's the guy in PL I remember purely for posting wayyy too much lol

 

I vaguely remember it was xbrandnewx or something? He did it for months until he was bullied into stop posting.

 

People were really cruel on AP for a while. It felt like being in a middle school locker room a lot of the time

 

people were so mean to me for liking the bad moving mountains album lol

 

That being said I met some of my best friends on AP. @cshadows2887 and I finally got to meet for the first time a few months ago after about 10 years of friendship

 

Lots of cyberbullying and misogyny

 

I was real fucking mean for a bit

 

I think Vinh’s Pink Moon avatar and ceaseless advocacy for it probably got dozens of people to listen to that album who otherwise wouldn’t have.

 

I spent years on AP only in the football/soccer thread cause I was terrified of some users hah.

 

I’m still mean about that every time the movmou thread is bumped.

 

I was never once mean to anyone. I was judging all of you

 

I spent years lurking because of it. Lotta creepy behavior towards female posters as well

Pretty sure that’s also how I got into Nick Drake

 

that was the worst experience.

Along with Lueda screaming at me in Lithuanian.

 

I really hated a lot of the cliquey, bullying, dramatic stuff on ap. I definitely got sucked into it occasionally, but it never felt good.

I did love turntable though. That’s a purely positive memory. I definitely made everyone listen to some VERY random shit.

 

Vinh & company ruled. So funny that they let me briefly write for their Sun on the Sand music blog that no longer exists; their weekly recommendation posts would have all these cool, obscure artists, & then I’d be all like, “yeah, I like 90s Christian pop.”

Out of that crowd, I miss Todd (kearns or something?) the most. Though that one Troggy or whatever guy was cool, too, ‘cause he shared my love of Selena Gomez (during the Disney Channel days) & the worship singer David Crowder.

It’s the ‘09 Brand New (& Subway) chat threads’ fault that I’m here today, talking way too much about Spider-Man all the time.

 

There was a LOT more there than met the eye. That was a really ugly, messy “relationship”.

 

yes i am back in st louis and not dating her anymore because im a piece of shit who couldnt stop relapsing on heroin in philly

 

I remember that one of the like 15 different chat sites we used over the years let you play youtube videos for the room. That was a blast to find weird ass videos on.

I liked turntable a ton, but my taste in music was never really interesting enough to play anything. It was killer for picking up recommendations though.
