I first joined HF back in 01 or 02. My roommate at the time told me about it and I was hooked. Mira Sorvino eating an icecream cone was my favorite thread for a long time.
Thank you for all your hard work @Dionysus and everyone who has helped! I was nervous about the format change at the time, but you did a fantastic job! I began lurking back in the Simms v. Applewhite days before later joining. In my opinion, this is still the best forum on the internet (format, content and community, etc)!
