dropdeded 0 #1 July 10, 2003 Middle of the night curiosity here.When did you start posting on dz.com and how'd you find it ? Myself, I found this bitchen place 2 days after I broke my leg in September. I had been lurking the wreck and read a post where someone mentioned dz.com. dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast 0 #4 July 10, 2003 I'm new just starting AFF this weekend, I found this site about a month ago when I was looking into doing a tandem, and just wanted to get a feel for the people involved in, and around skydiving, as well as some general information... ...and here i am ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

pilotdave 0 #9 July 10, 2003 I think I first found the site sometime between my first and second jumps....somewhere between '98 and '99 I guess (how long has the site been around, anyway?) but I didn't like web based message boards. I preferred rec.skydiving because I found it easier to use so I really never came here. Then in 2001 I started noticing some hits to my ftp server were coming from a post on dropzone.com so I went and took a look. The forums had changed a lot and were much easier to use and faster. Been hooked ever since! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txblondie 0 #16 July 10, 2003 About 2 months...I've only been jumping for a little over three months, still in AFF. But I'm addicted to this--nearly 300 posts already. It's a little bit sad, especially since I work full time (and then some!). I was talking to my SO, and he was talking about some post on here, and I was like, how do I get there? So, I started reading, and being the loud mouth Texan I am, I couldn't sit back and not state my own thoughts! So txblondie was born. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,384 #20 July 10, 2003 I started posting about September last year; but like Dave, I'd spent the previous couple months looking for gear.

AggieDave 6 #24 July 10, 2003 I started posting a couple days after my first jump, in May of 2000. It was MUCH different back then and much smaller, but it was still fun. I found it just surfnig the web at work one day, dreaming about skydiving, instead of working. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
