I am old, I used to part of a forum like this back when myspace was popular. I have always wondered if anyone from that group is on here. It was about 30 or 40 regulars with the same jibber jabber from 2006 to 2009.

Before ever posting here, I used to frequent houseofhorrors.com, which had started up in 1997. It was basically one of the early horror film dedication websites that gave thoughts and suggestions on all genre of horror films. There was also an offshoot forum from that site called horrorspeak.com which was at one time quite popular, even having just as many posters in a day as this place. My username there was EVOL not to be confused with evol666 who used to post here.
I just took a peek. It seems that houseofhorrors still exists but not much is being done with it one of its pages suggests upgrading to either Netscape 2.0, 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0
. And apparently horrorspeak doesn't exist at all anymore.

Been on various chatboxes and messengers. Some might still exist but I'm not really bothering to find out. There is a few other boards I'm frequenting, one is A Dutch one about movies in general the other about Formula 1 racing.
And once in a while I use facebook but I rarely post anything there usually check what others do. -

For me personally Ayrton Senna.
But I think you can make a case for Juan-Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and as much as I disliked him during his career Michael Schumacher. From the current generation Fernando Alonso is the best. Pre formula 1 (before world war II) it was without doubt Tazio Nuvolari. -

No they wanted me to send money, first they would say there are interested in you, by the third private message it would be: I lost my passport, my money & no way to reach my family, could you send me money, I will pay you back once I get back in the USA.
It's just piss me off, that I would pay monthly to match.com for this type of crap, I'm not blaming Match.com for this, it's hard to keep track of every fraudulent profiles. -

I've been online since '97, didn't discover IMDb until 2004. There used to be a music sharing site called AudioGalaxy that had message boards that took up an awful lot of my time.

I had free internet access with dial-up back in the day for many years, all I had to do was to endured a ad banner in the corner of my screen
But that all change when the high broadband internet came along - I tried Match.com to meet girls, but that site ripped me off, a lot of girls were not actually real girlsJust mostly scam artists from other countries.
