Hard to believe it's been 20 years now we've all known each other. I think I started posting on the DC message boards in March or April of 2000, and didn't find my way here till 9-11-2001. The first I met was Year of the Bastard (later he shortened it to The Bastard) and others I mostly knew by other names, like Pro and Whomod, who mostly appeared here later under other names. And, of course, Almighty Rob.
I still miss posters like Beardguy, wannabuya monkey, Theory9, PenWing, Roy Batty, Cassellmm47, Sideways, Darknight613, Llance, Franta, Snapman and (he might be shocked to hear me say it!) Jason Perkins.
More recently, I miss Son Of Mxy, who is a master of the one-liner and always makes me laugh. Who I wish would post here more often.
So many others, I apologize for not immediately recalling them by name.
DC Fans Who Love Cheese and The Gospel of Cheese topic
A sample of how things were back at the beginning, even before there was an RKMB.
How many remember when First Amongst Daves was Typhoid Dave?
Or when W B was Dave the Wonder Boy?
Or when
girls used to post here, like Carrina Winters, Butterican and Shazamgrrl?

http://www.rkmbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1229717#Post1229717In between all the board crashes in recent months, I'd forgotten that I posted this tribute topic of my own to the early days of RKMB, from the time I started here.
I'm not sure anyone else even saw it.
Some of you were here for quite a while before me, but I was part of the crowd who migrated here after 9-11-2001, where we could discuss here what was on our minds, without always having to struggle to keep it comics-related, as we did on the DC boards.
I remember now! You once asked us if we ever got the urge to fight weird creatures while listening to this music.
