Setting the record straight....ASPD 2000-2004

[32Flavors]

Hello boys and girls.....been long time.
I arrived in 02/2000 when a huge natural tits chick named Callie asked me if I was on ASPD....I told her I had no clue what that was but she said "you look like one of those guys"
I am 55 years old and have been in the game since I was 19 in Austin Tx. Back then we worked out of the Yellow Pages, classifieds of DMN and Dallas Times Herald.
It was horrible....bait and switch, ugly's, fatties and chicks with dicks......fucking nightmare. However....when the itch hits.....you proceed thru the forest.
Then came the Dallas Observer when they showed photos! Wow !It was fantastic! Pinch one off at the office looking at photos!
This is late 1990's.
Then they had web site addy's. I didn't have a computer, so I called my college roommate in Austin and read him the web addresses, and at that point we were off to the races....I bought my first computer that week, strictly to find "providers".
I spent most of the spring of 2000 looking and reading posts of ASPD. When I finally registered in the Fall there were about 700 of us. When it died I think there were 50,000.

NAMES WHEN I WAS THERE.....

Roadking.....he was the King....fascinating background...he was boinking 2 a day back then...stamina city!
CaddyMan
Fox......king of all early review boards (the Fox Files)
CastleStormer
T Bone
Smoker
Deacon Blues
Hemingway
Jethro Tull
Ragnar
F Master
Tin Man
Phil Landerer
Deuce Bigalow
Cowboy 45 (he was a shitbag, but at least he was a player)
a couple of Okies that I forgot handles.
We had a lot of socials back then....and made friends in a warped way.

A few shitbags....
Mr BFE....what a fucking loser
Chitlans Con Carne.....wore 3$ perfume.....gagfest
New Moderator.....can you say "LOSER"
Swell Phil,,,,,not swell

THE BEGINING.....

Our first social was in the Fall of 2000.....I was too green and scared to go, so my first was Valentines of 2001. That's where I met all the names above as well as the most beautiful chick I have ever met.....Brooke of Dallas. Holy Shit!
We had another social at 35 and NWHY that Spring. Guys and Girls in there were dropping their jaws looking at the women coming in. There were probably 65 of us there on the reserved second floor.10 cops on floor one smiling at us!

EARLY DAYS ON THE BOARD

When I got on, I could hardly work a computer.....we were all looking for each other, but didn't know it.
What impressed me the most were the women who posted.....they had to have much bigger computer skills than me,Brooke, Jennifer Tyler, little Ashley, Big Ashley , Ebony Angel, Diana of Dallas, Corey,Casey,Lana, Gitty up Casey, Catherine Adair.....and many more. They created a new marketing venue that quite frankly trumped vice into oblivion. We learned how to trust each other and stay safe.
2 SOCIALS IN 2002

We had a lunch in Los Colinas during a snow/sleet storm and about 65 showed up. Great fun. I am a heavy drinker, so I was keeping a waitress busy bringing me wine, and tipping her large, and before we sat for the meal, she said "Can I ask you a question?" I said, "of course"....she said, "your reservation is under the name of EXXON, but I don"t think you are with EXXON" I said....."who do you think we are ?". She said....."I think I know who you are, because I have overheard some stuff here. I said "well if you think you know, you are probably right.: She said. "I am so intrigued! How do you know each other?" I told her "the Internet" I asked her if she wanted in, and I knockerd her out about a month later!
THE BET

The biggest loudmouth fuckstick on the board was a shitbag named CasinoPlayer 21. He posted about 20 times a day, 90% of which were Laurel and Hardy type slapstick humor bullshit. It was mind numbing. He probably had 1 review for 800 posts.....compete poster child for "post whore". I hated him.
I made a personal bet with him......not even a bet, because he cannot lose!....."If you go 90 days without one post, I will give you $300. Same for next 90 days as well as the last 90 days".
There was no way he would have made it, but unfortunately for all of us, he had a very personal loss in his family the very week I made the offer, so he was in no mind to post on ASPD. I felt bad for him, but he still took my money. I was ok with it. RoadKing was the go between. I was the only one with skin in the game, but a few guys did offer to subsidize it.

Everyone can work a computer now, and it truly dumbed down ASPD in the mid 2000's. I suspect the same thing has happened here. That's why me and many others left.....it wasn't just the repetitive nature of info.....it was just that too many dumbfucks found a keyboard.
There are Golden Ages foe a lot of different categories......the Golden Age od ASPD was 2000-2003. It was so much fun, I I will always cherish the memories.
Be safe, and best wishes to all of you!

So how many vintage (auto guys, guitar guys, model train guys, etc) does it take to change a light bulb?

One.

All the rest of them stand around and talk how much better the old one was.

32 makes a very valid point. About numb nutz and keyboards and all that. But the paradigm shift in behavior brought about by anonyminity on the internet is culture wide, not just here. We can adapt or fold. What I did for a living for years taught me that culture moves on. I heard "oldies" the first time. Embrace the change, try to make your corner of the universe a better place and leave the fuckheads to their own devices. Time, as we know it, for better or worse, only seems to run in one direction. What's done is done. Wrap your mind in memories and you'll miss today. In spite of the shitheads and politicians, it's a great day to be on the planet.

BTW, I might be older than 32flavors, so that wasn't a brat rant or anything.

Nice to see you still around. *hugs*

[bored@home]

Is this a first and last type of post or just saying hi?
I found it to be a fun read hope you have and share more.

[Hercules]

Penguin man. All I want is Adair's number so I can get my truck back.

[cage196]

dude, i remember your bet. What a jerk that guy was. Ragnar... hahah forgot about him.. and the fox files. DAMN

[LovingKayla]

Can't forget the cunt queen of beauty and idiotic posts. GUC. Awww the days of stupid blond chicks spreading their legs because its all they can offer the world. Oh wait...

Where's your boyfriend SP?

[slims099]

Remember me? Lol. I remember you!

[Namssa]

As you can see LovingKayla has mellowed quite a bit.

Reminder
#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.

32, good to hear the details on the bet. I generally remembered the situation, but not the details. Hope the world is treating you well!

Nice post...Have a nice weekend. Hugs TP

32Flavors, thx for sharing your view/recollection of those days.

i started on aspd in late 98 or early 99 [i was slfairbanks back then], then started visting independent women in jan 2000. i'll like to use the term "the early days", rather than golden or "good ole'" days.

it was a different time and group.
in my opinion, what i underlined about trust and safety is probably the main distinguishing aspect between the early days and now.
back then, it was a smaller and more personally connected group. while there were less than positive folks [just as in any group], i believe that the personal connections formed during those days are somewhat missing nowadays. which, in my opinion, makes it easier to name call, backstab or throw under the bus when the person called/stabbed/thrown is just a name and pixels. like you said, those negative aspects are not unique to aspd & eccie.

each of us choose how we act and how we react to how others act.
whenever i read someone blame others or ascribe their problems to others, i take note of that and steer as clear as i can.

since there are so many newer members, i'd decided to share my experiences (whether deliteful or less than deliteful), my mistakes, and my humor [well, some might not call it humor].
hopefully, others might learn a bit or have a laugh.

have a deliteful weekend!

Favorite 32 quotes from the day: On the same ol who's the hottest,what do you look for, what's your ideal etc threads "titties, big fucking titties" and "I dig black chicks". And speaking of ol Ragnar, had lunch with him a couple of months ago. Gawd did we have some laughs!

[LovingKayla]

Namssa you just like making me wet.

[Papa Noel]

Nice to see ol Baskin-Robbins stick his head up again!!!

pmdelights........I think you are a year off, In the late 98/early 99 time frame. Most of us Texas internet hobbyist and providers were still posting on the Texas Hobby Board on the old Delphi boards. Amber did not go online with ASPD.net till Dec 99. Some were still using the newgroups then, but they were full of so much spam, it was hard to actually find a post by a real person.
