I came in, in December of 2014, but not from TOS. I just happened to wander in here and never left.

   I got here in 2011 @pookie18 tunes brought me.  I lurked for almost a year every morning before realizing this place was HOME after Jim Robinson and his gestapo Mods went on another, of many, rampages.
   Nancy and her Mods have treated me fairly throughout my tenure here.

First purge, 2014 or so, from TOS where I had been since 1998.  TOS taught me how not to Mod.

I first accessed TBR in 1982 from my Commodore 64.
Back then it was all text.

DO YOU WANT TO ENTER CURRENT EVENTS FOLDER? Y - N
DO YOU WANT TO POST? Y - N

The whole site was like that.

April 2016,

I think I joined TOS in either 2010 or 2011 but my friend had been there a few years earlier

I came during the Cruz purge.  I had been at TOS since the early beginning and signed up in 1998.  Today it is a mere tiny shadow of what it used to be.  Although I don't post as often as some, I am so happy to be able to read the posts, comments and links!!

I was class of '99 over there, but saw a pattern I didn't like. Not so obvious when I was on the other side of it (even reluctantly), but the Cruz Purge was going to be the end of me anyway.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I walked off from TOS in January of 2012 after almost 15 years. Didn't find this place until May of that year. Only went back years later to tell JR what I thought of him and got banned for my trouble. Broke my heart I tell ya!

Joined TOS in 1998 and walked away from it in 2016 over the Cruz crap. Never went back.
