Long-term members

HI everybody:
Years ago, I used to come here to chat often, and after the boards revised quite a bit, I stopped coming. I was just wondering if anyone knows what boards I might find some of those long-term members on these days?

Thank you.

bsrs17482

I really loved this place in the day, and I could again. I was looking for a rather busy forum of various topics to visit over coffee in the morning.

Just post a thread with abortion or politics in it..... it'll get "busy" .... LOL.

I find that this board, like any other, goes thru ebbs and flows....up and down....busy and slow. Maybe you should just give this board a few weeks and see if you like it? Maybe you have, I don't know.

As far as other "chat" boards, I don't know.

I am hit or miss. When things start to get nasty...I leave for awhile. I hate that crap (even if it doesn't involve me). I know a lot of people went to another board but I haven't been there in quite awhile so I don't know if they are there anymore.

I was around back then, but wouldn't pay. As I recall, there were a few boards I couldn't go to.

I was around since pretty much the beginning. Never paid for a membership, but remember something about it. I also didn't frequent what is now the cafe, just the internet shopping board. Came back and couldn't remember my password and had to change username. I wish I had known about this chat back then...;0)

I've been here since I was 22, hence my name. I was on bedrest with my youngest ds so I just hung out on here and other sites. There's been long chunks of time that I've left the board.

I've been here since the beginning, I think. It was back when my boys were young teens. They're 26 now. I remember I had to change my username (added another 2 to the end) because something happened and I couldn't get on or something. Can't remember....

I started in 2003 a lady at my job told me about the coupons and freebies. I don't think there was a chat back then if there was you had to pay for it and I chose not do so.

There are still a few of us "old timers" around. I think this board started in 1998, but could have been 97. I found it in 1999. After a couple of years there was a portion of it that was a paid part, but that didn't last too long. When it first started there was only a couple of boards, it has grown over the years!

I have been around since the beginning too. I remember when each day the number of members would get updated and it was only in the hundreds! Back then I was on a first name basis with my UPS and FedEx guys...I saw them both everyday!!

I found it back when I was starting up EthnicGrocer.com. We got a surge of orders because of a coupon code we floated out there, and got a ton of crazy orders all generating from this site. That was back in 97 or 98....

I joined in '99 but had a different user name (troystoy i think)
I too miss the UPS andFedEx man coming often with free items.
I think that we are to blame for the online pet store going broke.
My favorite thing I learned on mycoupons was the summer of the Sears $5 coupons!!

I've been around for what feels like forever, but I spend maybe 5 minutes a day here now. Other sites still have many deals posted, but the main board here just seemed to die. I also remember when the UPS guy would bring multiple freebies every day, and we'd never pay for a thing at Amazon, thanks to Freeride. Sometimes I wish I could go back and spend the extra money for a cable modem- just so I could take better advantage of all of the deals being offered!

I joined in 2000, I also don't stop by much anymore. Too much squabbling between members.
I also miss the good old days, lots of great deals, and the UPS driver stopping by to deliver them every couple of days!

I've been here since 1998 I think. I started coming here like many others when my kids were really small. Thanks for bringing up the Fedex/UPS daily deliveries. It brought back some really good memories for me. I miss those days!

Just checked my join date: 10-29-2000.

I didn't chat at first but I learned a lot about coupons and deals.

I do remember the epic battle of Crayola vs. Roseart, LOL!!!

I've been here for a bunch of years.
I used to be mindi_d but then I got an email that said I couldn't use a name with an underscore anymore so I switched to what I am everywhere else.

I have been registered since 2000, but there were several years that I didnt even come to the site. I can't remember if I ever came to the cafe before 2009. I did get in on the Sears $5 coupon deal, it was posted at another site that I went to. I LOVED that deal.

Beenz,Freeride, those were fun.
Anyone remember Red Rocket? They sold Nick Jr stuff. They always had a $15 off any purchase code.
Savon? I think it was called. Sort of a drugstore. They had tons of 39 cent stuff.

I still have those!

All the Duncan Donut coffee, Drugstore.Com stuff, Amazon GCs, and basically free DVDs are what I mostly remember. The kids loved free Dans chocolate and free candy bars from REI. The UPS guy and I were on a first name basis for a long time.

Dogs LOVED the Pets.com stuff. I am actually wearing a Pets.com sweatshirt as I type this.
