Looking for BuddyT and any of the old-timers

[whatever]

HI:  It's been quite awhile since i was around these pages.  I'm looking for Buddy, trif, and any of the others that used to hang out in the chat rooms in the late nineties and early oughts.  My nickname was Whatever and I am still as sassy just a lot older LOL  I hope some of y'all are still around.

Just glanced at this page for the first time in weeks and saw your post. Wow, you're really an old-timer! I joined the forum in 2010. Almost everyone is gone now. I think Buddy T keeps the site up on the off chance that someone happens by who can derive help from it, but there really hasn't been anything like a viable dialogue for years now.

A few posters who were legends when I was active have since passed away. Grampa Dave and A Starr's Song (I've forgotten her real name) are among them.

This forum was hugely instrumental in my finally kicking the booze for good in March 2013, and I've retained a soft spot for it ever since. I hope you'll share your story here if you feel inclined. I, for one, would be interested to read about online sobriety from 20 years ago!

Hey Whatever!

I answered your email, so I'll keep this brief here. You can still find a few of the old timers in the chatroom from time to time. Mostly later at night. The "open chat" room is now called The Lounge. You can log on here:

I haven't seen or heard from trif in ages. He was having some health issues the last we talked. Dazark and Becs got married, as you know, and we never heard from them again. And, I haven't seen the British Columbia bunch in years, although I did hear from Roser once.

I haven't worked for About.com since April 2017, although many of the articles I wrote for them are still online. It's no longer About.com now, but VeryWellMind.com <sigh> I rewrote many of those articles and posted them here:

It's always good to hear from someone from the early days. Glad you contacted me!
