1999: That was the year of the columbine shooting. I finished my first year of college that year.
It was a boringish year for me, to be honest.

Trish, I had a hysterectomy in 2001; it was part of a triple surgery. My recuperation and recovery is, in fact, what led me to the forums.
I had a similar experience (not a triple hysterectomy). My back was injured two year ago and I was poking around the Singing News website and found this Forum.
Awed: Thanks for sending the Samatar. I have now learned to "capture" pictures.

That was the year that a certain company that I'm familiar with happened to wake up and realize that they just might have a very serious Y2K issue...followed by panic and mayhem.

I came here in 2003 right after losing a close friend.

I came here in May 2001 after using the Crosswalk website for a year and finally wondering what forums were. For me, this place has been a gift from God and I'm very grateful he brought me here.

I came in around 2000, too. A friend told me to check out the web site. The first thread I read was Kimmie's GTGT journal. I lurked for a couple of weeks before attempting my first post.

I had a CW email address in 1999 or 2000. I don't remember what part of the school year I got it. In December I posted in the forums under clenger, then quit posting because I said somethign stupid and thought everyone would remember me and not like me. Summer of 2001 I came back because I was really bored at my job. I created a new account so I could have a cooler handle than what my email address was. I've been christsstar forever. Haven't changed it once. I thought about changing it briefly, but didn't; Shar-Mar changed hers briefly then couldn't get her original name back, so she had to modify it slightly. I didn't want that to happen.

I first ventured into forums back in the fall of 2000. I was such a newbe back then! This was the first forum that I had ever posted in, and lurked for a good 6 weeks before making my first posting! I remember Kimberly, Specky, Abiyah, Karlie, Kath, Valsa and of course Daryll being among the first people who I noticed here!

I miss her too.
I first remember Sharon.
I had lurked for over 3 months before finally registering.
Then I started posted and then decided it wasn't for me. HA!
(Of course I continued to lurk)
A couple / few weeks after I stopped posting, Sharon started a thread specifically asking about me.
That totally blew me out of the water.
I sat at my computer and bawled like a baby.

Man, you've got a good memory!
Just out of curiosity, what was my original name? I truly don't know. 
you were whiteroseblessings .... all lowercase. (I was going to type "no capitals," but I don't know if it's capital or capitol ... so I opted for lowercase....)
You also joined in the summer of 2001 Shar-Mar. I you were nick-named Shar-Mar in chat one night because we were too lazy to type Sharon-Marie.

Yep, Christine . . . June of 2001 . . . 4 months (not 3 as I had said earlier) after I had the triple surgery. I first found out about y'all in February of '01 while recuperating from the surgeries.
Who was the first one to name me Shar Mar? You? I knew it was because of the length of Sharon-Marie.
Oh, and I do remember my name being all lowercase (no capitals). That threw me for a loop this afternoon, because I thought you meant a totally different name and I was thinking, "I'm sure I started out as WRB" (spelled out). LOL

I'm very prone to crying when something unexpectedly good happens, especially when it's something I really needed and was sure the opposite was true or would happen.
