i`ve still got the original hamb shirt...only roll it out on special occasions...i also got the first issue of garage in the giveaway....

a few highlights from the past for me...honest and modernbeat, both great guys and got me my first big break in the artworld by putting my art on the cover of the premier issue of shop rag...i still speak to dan picasso and also catch up with sailor on facebook...was it Nads who had the alter ego fecals the clown....germ and his musings

 

I don't think we have low post counts.....everyone else talks to much......

I lurked for 12 months as remember copping a verbal lashing from Axle...although he was just qouting lines from American Graffiti...

Cheers, and this thread is gay,

I'm in the second 500 at 528. maybe I shouldn't have lurked so long......

 

Poor guy doesn't even have any friends.

 

I feel blind. What am I? I want a prison number?

 

Haha just missed out = # 589 !

Wow, has it been THAT long?

My wife has been pissed off at me since '99.... I remember Aaron saying "the other guy was some college student out in Oklahoma or somewhere...."

 

454!

 

I had a better number on the Pokemon board. I fell asleep at the line registering on the new board but I beat a lot of you sorry asses.

 

Crazy, #263. I remember when I first signed up in the 90's I think 98 or 99 but then had to re-register. Things were different then...don't get me wrong it's cool here, just different.

 

I joined in June of 2005 (#6828) and the roasting/hazing was still happening if you were an asshat or wanted to do something stupid. I was gonna run a '36 chevy truck with a MM2 front end and no fenders. I still wince when remembering the comments.

You lot taught me a whole bunch about HOT RODS.

Thanks!

 

I just found out I am #493

 

yep... those were the dayz...

and, i agree. like you, i have learned a tremendous amount about not only traditional hot rods and customs... but about myself here as well. i've met the best group of people on the planet. period.

i WILL say one thing tho... the phrase "he/she's a HAMBer... it'll be cool" does not mean what i once did... used to be, you were a HAMBer, and your word was gold (even if your chain wasnt)... many times now, its "caveat HAMBer" on many things.

the place has changed a lot since i first found the place in the middle of 03 or so and then finally registered and did an intro on new years eve in 04... half a bottle of courage by Jim Beam and i managed to make an ass of myself (for the first time, it happens often) point is, in MANY ways, the "new" HAMB is better than it ever was... but, there are also many small things that are missed as well.

 

My current number is 930, but when I joined I was number 1,967 (my year of birth). So, I know there have been at least 1,047 HAMBers deleted. I think Ryan said a while ago he removed a lot of inactive accounts.

 

I was 1st on here back in between 99-2000. Then I moved and didn't have a high speed connection till 05, then couldn't find my account so had to rejoin. At least I'm under the 5000 mark! - #4963

 

175, and I read LOTS more that I post. I also fondly remember the old board. I had a terribly time when it switched over keeping up. The bad thing, is I make my living with computers.

I remember back when this interweb thing took off all you heard about was how message boards were being used for gay lifestyle hook ups and whatnot so I avoided them. I remember the round Jalopy Journal format but I lurked for quite a while before I signed up. Turns out that gay lifestyle thing was right! ha ha ha

Mine says 1025, but I was around 2250 when I first signed on.

 

i'm 385

 

I'm number 8331?? I guess

 

C9 and Brewsir was on here. Shag and his pickup. 286 merc helping me out with all the flathead questions I had. Germs rants and the ousting of Aaron. That was almost 10 years ago. go figure.

Im number 100 on this "new" board

 

I am 300 flat.

Mine would have been closer to Buzzard's 238 but I dragged my feet.

Remember when you could tell people to quit asking such stupid questions and they would?

 

How does one determine what number they are?
I know I have been posting on here since '97.

 

I'm still here, # 250
