Yeah there was chat, not run by TGR tho. Fun as hell.
Nohills is still in IN playing with her horses.
good for her. i always enjoyed her presence.
Huh I thought the chat was part of the site, you sure about that Tipp? That shit was hilarious and an unbelievable time suck, it's pretty much all I did for quite a while there.
Yep. Likwid ran it.
Likwid yeah... That chat place stole a fair amount of hours in my life too.Quote:

I still sometimes feel like a jong and I've been here for almost 15 years.
I seem to recall that he had some www skills, and that he was involved with chat. He later posted as Free-Range Lobster for a while, around the time he dated Bean Dip. Then he was Likwid again, then gone.Quote:

The fun thing about chat is that you could say that you were anyone. It got pretty messed up!Quote:

Yeah, late 04-early 05, methinks.
i got here in dec 2006 and chat was still happening some time after that.
Yeah I was on chat some with Tipp and Hugh and BeanDip not long after I found this place and if it disappeared when Likwid did than it was a couple years after I showed up at least. I wonder if BeanDip is still EMT'ing in San Fran. She was at the first Gordy Camp I went to along with Arty and AltaGirl and Mr. AltaGirl. I remember sleeping at Rotorheads the night after the camp ended because there was a huge storm rolling in and everyone in our condo wanted to ski the next day and we didn't want to get interlodged up in the canyon. He told us all these crazy stories of flying Apaches in Baghdad.Quote:

You mean Telefunken? He did something in Hollywood, I thought it had to do with music but I'm not sure. Claimed he had Grammy's. Or maybe Emmy's. So full of himself. And got such an epic beatdown. But it took time, and he didn't go quietly.
A telefunken sampler: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...rchid=17913460
That's it! It was music, I had forgotten he claimed to have a grammy. This was the first forum I had ever really hung out in and I remember watching his flame-out when I first showed up and thinking "This place is awesome!"
ifh chat disappeared 2010? 2011? sometime around then.
I think you meant this thread?:Quote:

i'm laughing out loud in the first three posts in anticipation of escalation
i joined right when this thread started. this and the squaw valley name change thread were my introduction to tgr.
I can't remember what my chat handle was but I do remember talking endlessly with iceman, basom, altagirl, and another funny eastcoaster who lived in Utah, then moved back....arghhhhhh what's his name...I told him to meet for free hotdogs at some department store in Utah for some reason as a joke because I was a dickhead. I apologized to him in person I think.
I remember a lotta doors opening and closing when that thing was going off, it was chaos.
iirc there was a second iteration that never really clicked, not sure why the first one ended but it was actually the shit, like crack on a screen, largely because of Basom, who is one of the more naturally funny dudes you will ever meet. We met up the 2004 Red Sox parade and I think the old-guy-doing-many-shots-of-vodka thing I was working at the time scared him a little. We crashed at a friend of mine's place in the South End that night and I never saw him again.Quote:

And Acostiga was driving and went the wrong way down Charles Street in Boston (which is a pretty major one-way road) and Wizard just jumped the fuck out of the (like 30 MPH) moving car, hit the ground hard, got up and ran. They didn't see him again.
Yes, I remember Wizard.
The dude was friends with basom, wildbill, etc. Lived in Sandy at the time. Posted a lot on the boards. From boston or CT or ???Quote:

This is part of every one of these threads. Maybe even part of this thread earlier?Quote:

What happened to hohes/neckbeard? Did he decide to find a healthier use of time? For a while he was pretty active on here if only in a few threads.
stump832 was the guy i sent to get hotdogs in Sandy in a fake meetup while I was in MT. He moved back east. he was a funny guy what happened to him?
Went back to school. Got married. Got a high dollar career. Had babies. One of the smarter and funnier motherfuckers you'll ever meet.Quote:

I always felt like I’d missed the best of the best times. So I kept hanging around here to see what would happen. It turns out I did miss the best times and I’ve been wasting my last 13 yrs. on here [emoji6]
