JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
In a couple of months I'll be 30. I've been visiting the wide range of JA-related boards since I was about 15 (1999.) I think some of you might have been 30 when I first arrived in this micro-world of ours. I consider myself one of 'the usual suspects' of these boards, even though I haven't been a real part of JA.org, Pete's Circle (is that the name?) and I never visited ANR's first version (I was on team Sonny .) Some of the other regulars who are around my age are Hype and JSSD, and I think they came into the picture just one or two years after I did (my memory might be failing me here.)
Anyway, I was wondering what would happen if a few 16 year olds suddenly popped up here. Talking about philosophy, posting dumb shit and/or posting pictures of Perry sharing with us how awesome Perry is, that he's their hero and stuff like that.
I think I'd tell them they're stupid.
No idea why I'm posting this.

Man, you are getting old!
I think you and Hype and JSSD should have an ANR 'Dirty Thirty' party.
At the moment, I think the youngest is cabangbang at 18.

Yup, I'm one of the old fucks now.
No idea he/she was 18. Hasn't he/she been around here for ages?

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
I'm wrong cabang is 19. I think cabang starting posting when he( i think) was about 14 or somerthing like that. I have a memory of him saying he went to the first Janes's show with his parents or a friend's parents.

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
us older members have helped raise and mentor these young kids to become the great people they are today....except for larry and jssd of course.
Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
I think the trio of 27-29 (JSSD, Hype and yours truly) are quite stand up human beings, despite of our interaction with KV, The Creepster and most importantly, Dilla and Paints. If that didn't prepare us for the ups and downs of life, I don't know what will.

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
here's an amusing forum thread about how much Jane's Addiction sucks or does not suck.

I was 21 when I came across my first music forum (posted at first on a RHCP forum, we were mostly women, go figure ). That's going to be 18 years ago. Why are you calling yourself 'middle aged'?. I'm not calling myself that just yet!

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
I grew up on these boards. I was 20 when I first started posting. I'm 34 now. They've definitely had an influence on my life. Thickened my skin for sure. Influenced my sense of humor. Taught me how to be more logical. Showed me new music and ideas...

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
Man, I started out on Usenet newsgroups around late '94 which was about as "anything goes" as you can possibly get on the internet. People would post under their real names, regularly list personal contact info like phone numbers and home addresses. And the flame wars... ah, the epic flame wars.....hokahey wrote:I grew up on these boards. I was 20 when I first started posting. I'm 34 now. They've definitely had an influence on my life.

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
I definitely came on these boards. First posted when I was 11, pretending to be a father of an 11 year-old kid asking the board whether it was ok to take my 11 year-old son to a Jane's Addiction concert. I showed my dad the responses and he let my then 19 year-old brother take me. That was 10/20/2001 - my brother ended up getting married on 10/20/2012. I then posted pretending to be an 11 year-old pretending to have stolen his dad's password to complain about fans complaining . No one believed I was 11.
And here I am today, about to graduate law school and move to NYC. All thanks to you MFers.

Re: JA Boards: A middle-aged perspective
It's weird remembering that computers used to have to literally dial a phone number (what the fuck is a phone number?!) to get on the internet (you can be off the internet?), and now I get annoyed if my Netflix buffers at all.kv wrote:that's a new age flame war, 1% had the some og ones
