Janitor invited me via email, while I was a member at 1Bob. WCW was definitely still happening, so I'm assuming about 1999/2000. Was a member while 1Bob and A1 were both using DC Scripts (still think that was a great type of forum software), then 1Bob died a death when it moved to a new server, and I made this my permanent home.

I remember the front page having links to Edgecrusher's column, NY Girl's column and the archive having Edge's interviews with various wrestling personalities.

Xavier Storm, Rage of Angels, Janitor, G_Pac. Names that are just as memorable as some wrestlers from back in the day, you got so used to seeing them in posts.

Sentra I used to email, because like me, we both liked writing about wrestling (I haven't bothered at all for many a year now) and we set up a couple of sites together with history pieces. Lost touch with him completely after 1Bob though. Didn't know him beyond that really.

He died. I think he was Mazda, right? Someone told me he died. Pretty sad.

Sorry if this was already clarified, but Mazda/Sentra did indeed pass away. I think it was shortly after A1 formed, as I still lurked on 1bob at the time. It's been so many years, I don't remember the details, but I guess he had been dealing with health and physical issues all his life.

Torn was referenced earlier in the thread, and she passed away, also, right?

BobbyR · « **Reply #252 on:** May 10, 2012, 12:06:06 PM »

No one knows, she just dropped out of site
She was about 68 at the time

FATSEXY · « **Reply #253 on:** May 10, 2012, 04:35:35 PM »

I am going to be pretty depressed for the rest of the week. I really liked Torn. Shit. Another dude on my other board died this year at 40, time is a heartless son of a bitch.

Holy crap, did a random Google search and found this thread, cool blowing an hour reliving some memories.

A special "Thank You" to PILE, Mike and Stan for saying nice things and defending me when when you didn't know if I'd even see it or not. I interact to this day with lots of A1ers on FB, including these guys, always glad to see people being genuine.

I have no recollection of being "butthurt" over Padje calling me fat, fwiw. But I definitely had a chip on my shoulder back then. Let's just say that we were all VERY different people back then. In a weird way, I really bonded with a lot of people here, though. BUT - there were some people I was VERY douchey toward - Blacklight comes to mind as an example, and I'm embarrassed by it now, so let me say right now that I apologize to Blacklight for the things I said (no need to rehash them).

I was also an ass to Webweaver many times, and it was mutual, but I apologize for my part in it.

FS, we interact all the time on FB, but you didn't defend me here. THAT MEANS IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG~!

This thread blew my mind. And I developed a disorder over those green cords, and never wore them. I really enjoy the fact bryce has never stopped thinking about me after all these years. But it's pretty cool to see the real people behind the handles on Facebook. I interact pretty regularly with Fatsexy, TH, BigDaddy, Pile, CJC, STF, SupTool, Poe (I don't hate ya kid), Prisco, and Edge. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but it's crazy that we've still somewhat stayed intact for 10+ years now.

I know you don't hate me. I just was damn annoying.

Nowadays, I post less on message boards concerning wrestling and more on video game/PlayStation trophy hunting sites. I also have a day job and had to develop a thick skin (although my job at times feels meaningless but it's stable). Stable is good.

I want to say somewhere around 2000 so Janitor/G Pac days?

I said stupid stuff constantly and still say it today (Undertaker totally had a heart attack, man....)

I just got finished watching a documentary on Tower Records called All Things Must Pass, then I read through this old thread and see a lot of interesting similarities. A1 is my Tower Records, in internet form. And while it may not be what it once was, I still like to stop in once and a while to hang out with some internet folks I've interacted with for going on 16/17 years. That's insane. A lot of big moments in history happened and I remember being on A1 right after.

This thread is 4 years old and Patrick, Linus, bryce, and several others have left or are unable to access the site or whatever the issue is. Some of the posters who have left, like TH and Chus and my old pal djunstable...I really wish they'd stop by once in a while. I miss some folks!

Hey Torgo, How's your brother?

Beer_Baron · « **Reply #260 on:** January 18, 2016, 01:27:26 AM »

I hear ya, Torgo. The site just hasn't felt the same for the past couple years. I know that I don't contribute nearly as much as I used to, if you can even call my posts "contributions."

This thread rules, and it's kind of sad at the same time.

I think Zandrax should host an A1 party in Chicago so we can all get together and play drinking games and WWE No Mercy. I'll bring my N64 and 3 controllers.

I just noticed the guy who started the thread is no longer a member

SupTool · « **Reply #262 on:** January 18, 2016, 05:13:16 PM »

IIRC he resigned up as just Hossler. I remember seeing that name on the new member thing at the main part of the board kiddo

Strange how little I actually visit here these days, but I definitely still have this place bookmarked. Hard to believe it's been 15 years that I've known some of you.

I like to revisit this thread every couple of years and check back to see who is still here from the days of the internet before social media kind of ruined everything.

So, who still checks in on their old internet home occasionally?

I may reply in two years. This thread is going to be A1 Boyhood.

BobbyR · « **Reply #268 on:** September 12, 2019, 06:46:11 PM »

TORGO! Missed you dude, how's your bro?

Freakshow · « **Reply #269 on:** September 29, 2019, 03:26:22 PM »

I still drop by to see if Fatty has ever gotten over banning me on facebook.

Well, and you guys too.

It's really interesting to see how, after so long away, my brain kind of slips-back into A1Posting mode like an old, nasty, semen filled glove even before reading into any of these threads. Ostensibly, I'm a productive adult now with a kid and actual responsibility. I shudder to think what could happen if I look back and see all the terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible things I've said on here in the past.

I do see Jim S on FB chat once and awhile and post on Chris' political threads with Dan, but I don't know if I ever want to go back to what I was when I was mass-shitposting all those years ago.

Hope you all are doing well. Dunno if I thanked the Pod Bros for letting me in their club when I was so very, very non-serious about the whole thing. Glad to see that's still going.

It's nice to see that the internet has finally caught up to a gimmick I had on messageboards over 20 years ago...

I'm in a strikingly similar boat and I have the same fear about old posts lol. Like, I've posted so much that I'm sure I've posted things that would look awful out of context, and probably even IN context, and this is why I give people the benefit of the doubt when old forum posts get brought to life on Twitter and the online mobs start coming after them...like I'm sure everyone has posted stupid stuff that they would shudder about now, especially if they've actually changed (which actually DOES happen, if I can do it anyone can!).
