OKC Talk origins and future

[Midtowner]

Agree to disagree.

Ahhhh. Mr. "Don't let the facts get in your way."

Memories.

Was Mr. Anderson the poster long ago that had the Garfield avatar? If so, that guy was a trip.

WOW Had not thought of that name in a looooooong time. Thunder also. Don't realize how quickly a place like this develops its own special kind of history!

Thunder was a regular when I first started posting. An interesting world view to say the least.

I know. I've been with OKCtalk from the beginning and we've had our fair share of characters and developed our own neat history.

And it was big trouble if you left off the Mr. Lol

[Easy180]

I also remember a colorful poster with Conservative in his name. Think he supposedly owned an energy company. Maybe Christian Conservative??

Oh yeah. He hated that. As I recall though, he hated a lot of things.

What are your bets that a lot of those people are still here? Maybe not Thunder as he was one of a kind, but many of the others, I'd put a fairly high wager that most of them are still here with different usernames.

Wasn't there a lady in here, with a Corvette for her Avatar, who was about as crazy as the X-Files Sign Dude (outside of Perry, OK) about one thing or another, that was really bugging her? This would have been back about the time I checked in to see what condition my condition was in . . . at least a couple/three years ago. (Actually, back in 2011 =)

Yep. Always say once you go okctalk you never go back.

The funniest thing was finding yourself on the same side of a debate as Mr. Anderson.

The horror if that were to happen.

What was the first post? Who has been on the site the longest?

Don't those questions remind you of something from Family Feud?
They can't be from Jeopardy, on account of they are already phrased in the form of a question.
(aren't they?) =)

(sorry about the phrasing and punctuation. it wasn't intended to confuse.)

First post I'm guessing would have been by the previous owner (Todd was it?). That would be early 2004ish. As far as who has been on here the longest, you could find people who were members since 2004 but haven't been active for 7 or 8 years. Would they still count?

Well I used to be conservative and pro-sprawl, but I wasn't belligerent.

That was one of our former moderators impersonating Tom Ward.

There's a reason I left for awhile. Lots of games were played.

[kevinpate]

by the by, was the site down this am, or did I manage to type in the wrong name a few times?

[RadicalModerate]

I, too, got the dreaded "Account Suspended" screen a few times.
I wondered if it was something I said.

[kevinpate]

Yeah. i had to get gone and see someone so I didn't have time to mess with it much. It came right up after i got back to the machine this afternoon. Come to think of it, when I got home I moved to near the front of the house, reducing the distance between me and the street front. I guess the Lady of the Urbanistas decided to bestow good fortune on me after that.

[Stan Silliman]

I wonder what happened to HeWentToJerad? He didn't get banned, did he?
He seemed to be pretty engaged about climate change. I hope he didn't get skin cancer.

Here's what you are looking for -> http://www.okctalk.com/members/list/...joindate&pp=50

okcpulse is the oldest member who has stayed active. Logged in on 4-25-2014. Joined 6-1-2004. Been a member for almost 10 years.

There are definitely still active members who have been around for a long time.

I was number 64! Congrats to me. Some notable posters before me: Steve, Pete, Midtowner, Metro, OKCPulse, adadaniel (and I'm probably missing a few). It would be interesting to remove the ones who signed up and for whatever reason only posted a few times.
