Can you remember when you first joined WOG? I CAN.
It was about scant (I love that word) two years ago, possible three. I used to look up at those who had the title "Goo God"
Now I've joined the ranks. Hehe. Do the new members look up to us? DO THEY?!

Like, the day after Gutterflower came out. Give or take a little. That makes 5 years... wow. 
(I was also 13 and an idiot. I apologize in retrospect if any of you were around back then and I drove you bonkers with my stupidity/spazziness/etc.)

August 98. You didn't have to actually register back then.

I'm STILL not convinced you're not an elaborate joke by Drew. I don't know what needs to happen to make me believe you exist.

I can't remember exactly when I joined, and it isn't listed in my profile since I accidentally deleted my account a while ago. I think I joined around September of 2002.
The first person who welcomed me here was either Scubagoo or Pattygoo and she quoted lyrics of a song that remind me of that every time I hear the song on the radio at work:
"And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance"...
referring to my original name, Dances with Goo. I think she was saying I should jump in and post, rather than just lurking and being shy.
(Some folks probably wish I had just lurked!)
I know we didn't have the category of Goo God back then, so there was none of that to think about. But I hope I wouldn't be in awe of anyone for something like posting "x" number of posts. I think quality trumps quantity.

The WOG was the first board I found. It was in August of 2002 right after my first live Goo show. I lurked forever and didn't actually start posting until late fall of 2002.
When I first joined I have to admit I did look up to those who had so many posts. But after being on the boards for so long now I have to agree with DWG....that it's quality over quantity that counts. It's real easy to rack up posts when you're agreeing with everyone or just posting smilies. It's the posts with substance that count and add meaning.

I have always think quality over quantity when it comes to message boards....other then the IM board though
I have a like 6000 posts over at the IM but not of good quality really because I just post random crap there and then chit chat with a couple over there in one thread, and then I play all the stupid games that are over there....
however I have always thought more about the posts I make here.....

I saw the GGD for the first time in August. When I went to that concert I wasn't really a fan of their music. I had DUTG and knew their hit songs and that was about it. It wasn't even my idea to go to the concert. I was more into country music.
I saw them live and loved it. I bought Let Love In and listened to it a lot. Eventually I bought GF and ABNG. When I found out they were doing a concert about 20 minutes from my house, and I immediately bought tickets as soon as it went on sale.
I found this message board and read it for a few days before joining. I jumped right in and changed my name to 'the purple o' I never posted under my registered screen name. Probably if it wasn't for that I would have been shy and lurked and posted occasionally. I'm not an outspoken person and can be shy and self conscious at times. I felt really comfortable here. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I've joined many message boards on various topics and there are very few that I have more than 50 posts. I liked WOG because there was no drama, no fighting, and everyone keeps an open mind.
I've said things that I have later regretted and I've deleted many posts.
When I joined I looked up to Shannon and probably Nicole and Drew because they seemed to be masterminds behind the whole "mass confusion"
That's my story, nothing too special or extraordinary. I assure you, Nicole, I do exist and I'm not an elaborate joke by Drew.
