oh my gosh, i remember that!
i don't think i'm in it though. sadface.
i can see some people i recognise that aren't on here anymore though.
edit;; do any of you remember (i think his name was craig?). i can't remember his screenname but its gunna bug me for ages now.
i reemember he was a big manics fan & lived in birmingham (i think?) &used to make the nicest threads.
steerpike! that was it. i remember. he had a panda for an avatar.
&the thingie under his name said "i wanna be your own possession."
oh gosh. those days were amazing on ryl.
Yeah "Steerpike". He was into race cars as well as Pandas. He was from around Newcastle I think. Every once-in-awhile he would make a long ansgty post about "loneliness" in General and almost every time this other member would always reply "oohhhhhh Craigeeyyyyyyyyy! I Loooooove Yoooouuuuu!!!!!"
Oh and here is thumb of newspaper from 2004:

I remember Craig! I found a letter from him the other day actually. I had a text from him around Christmas I think. Last I remember he was training to be a driving instructor.
aww. first of all, HI JOOLS! really nice to see you :)
i definitely have moments of really strong nostalgia for old RYL.
i remember i once found a copy of a thread from '04 and all the regulars who are grammar nazis now were still going "ye but relly ur soo cool!" and i laughed and missed it.
the first time i ever felt a real part of this site was in the original RYL family thread with someone like awakedreaming, dreamingaway, she was the sweetest person i've ever met on here. and casper! and the three rosies.
alright, alright, i'm done.

haha. i lol'dd. i used 2 type lyk dis on ruin, but then, i think i can be partly excused because everyone did, and i was 14.
i'd like to see the thread emily, if you still have it :].
&. owh, first time i really felt "a part" of the site was in the post-whore thread in f&d that moved so fast it was ****ing crazy (we spammed over 100 pages in the first couple hours if i'm not mistaken). that was when i realised people actually knew my name and knew who i was. it was a nice feeling :).
I miss people, and i miss being close to the people that i was close too.
No one but myself to blame for that though i suppose. I/people move on and such.
Weird to see some of those photos though! I remember specific bits from threads such as 'The post-whore thread' etc.. etc.. and the first ever RYL london meet.

With demons dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.

Heh - I know some people who got over 10,000 posts in that thread (that was when post counts showed under names by avatars)
i remember when i first came there was three people that had some kind of cheesestick cult under their screen names.
and i never got what that was about.
Nine
Moonlightlove
ColourOfAnger
Hellfire
Delicate Fairy
Wasteland Soldier
Draven
these people were especially nice.
oh man, i remember colourofanger. she was so ****ing cool. she was like, crazy in love with some girl, right. i remember her making loads of threads about her (this was back when it was okay to make threads like that because there weren't half as many people as now. everyone knew everyones business, but in a nice way).
i miss rosie/nine. we had some jokee times at the first dozen or so london meets. &draven/jess too. she was mega pretty, i remember.
man.
i wish these people would just come back, just to say hello & let us know how their lives are :(.
&wasteland soldier. she had "i need you like water in my lungs" as the subtitle underneath her username. she used to reply to serious threads with the nicest things.
i remember moonlightlove cos she had a picture of herself as her signature & she was really pretty.
&&. owh, i'm sure people remember kweeny/dani (gosh, i feel like a stalker). i never spoke to her much when she was here, but i remember thinking she was pretty cool.
ahhh. too many people. this is when i think that this place isn't so bad after all. lots & lots & lots of amazing people.
