Original Members

[bananablob]

Hello all,

Used to be Heidi Tiger/mediocrity but this was my alt account. I ran into an old RYL member through my work as a peer support worker for a bit but they died. Made me think a lot about this place and what it used to mean to me.

Hi, I remember you. Sad story. How are you doing?

[Isoverity]

Hiedi Tiger is a good one from the past.

Salute! *raises glass of Irn Bru*

[Enthused]

Heidi, how are you doing? Your kids are growing up so fast by the way.

[Cacoethes]

Happy 20th anniversary!
It was a VERY different site back then, for sure

[one_step_closer]

I still remember your magazine cover


Just yesterday I was watching dudes launch a rocket that also landed like SpaceX. Wasn't a rocket the size of your rockets of course

Hello everyone! Been a while since I popped in and said hello!

Hi Nic <3

[nowhereman]

I was here since the ruin days and have wanted to post in this thread for ages but I can't remember my old usernames lol, I had a few. I just remembered I was Nikaroo and my old posts show I was Secrets Hurt. I still remember too many people to name! I even had jobs here, never a mod but I was an editor, ezine member and a guide? I never quite figured out what guide meant lol but I was here a lot after the site name change. Haven't posted in forever but I check sometimes. I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. I remember "We're not here to be anything, just to be"

Not too bad thanks! I realised it’s been around 10 years since I posted on here so figured I should show my face again. How have you been?

[one_step_closer]

Hi Amy. What led you back here after so long?!

Hey!
I’m not sure to be honest. For some reason, I thought about this site last night and wondered if it still even existed, found it did and figured I’d just say hi when I saw some familiar names were still around!

[one_step_closer]

It is quite an institution now! I'm glad it still exists.

Yeah, I can imagine! Is there many OG members left? I can’t believe how quiet it is compared to back in the day.

[Cacoethes]

Heya!
Been a while! Idk if you remember me.
Been around since around 2005 I think (account previous to this one!) Not sure if that classes me as OG though!

It is super quiet here now.
