holy shit I just realized something

[thebornotaku]

I started at AN when I was like 11 or 12

and I'm turning 18

I've been with you guys (or, rather, some of you. I know some of you were new additions after AE was formed, but whatever) for like, 6 or 7 years now.

shit man.

[Siendra]

I turn 21 on Tuesday.

This is so wrong.

And yeah, I met some of the people here on AN back in 2002.

when Nick came up to visit me, some of my friends thought it was weird that someone i met on the interwebs would come all this way to hang out with me on my birthday. i told them i've known him longer than most people i know IRL and they thought that was weird too :snakes:

I've known you all longer than I've known ANY of my IRL friend.s :awesome:

[Alundra]

Joined AN in November of 2001, I believe.

Jesus.

I still remember the ridiculously large "Japanese girls are cute!!" thread we had way back when.

[Belial]

I make a similar realization every time I log on to A-E

This is how we're going to interact, there's really no avoiding it. Those who still find it "weird" are only allowing themselves to fall behind.

[Natsu]

I miss talking to you man

[Anime Gee]

Holy dog shit! Hahaha! I registered at AnimeNation sometime in 2000, but then they crashed & I didn't register back there until about 2002 or so. It used to be green & black if I recall. I've been on the innanets for too many years! (^o^ )

I'm turning 21 in 13 days. I registered at AN in 2003, so it's been about 6 years of knowing you heads.

Also, whenever I've met someone from the internet I've prefaced it to my IRL friends by saying "A dude I know introduced me to this person, we've kept in touch online for years." It's a great way to avoid people being douches towards me.

[Pamuya]

dunno when i joined but im gonna be 24 on the 20th and remember i changed my member title to legal pedophile when i was 18

[Feral Aristocrat]

I don't remember when I signed up to AN (just that it was awesome to demolish people's taste in music and somehow get a metal forum made LOL). This will be my 26th year of being alive on this planet. When I turn 30th the jews will return to zion, a comet shall split the sky, and World War III will come to fruition. Just hope that pesky 2nd coming doesn't spoil my fun.

[Crube]

And I am turning 24 this year too. Oy vey!
