An interesting History of You

[Scarlet spidey]

I'm going to go ahead and bump this thread because I like the idea of it, and I think it died too quickly.

First Found Spider-man Hype right around when the first image of the Spider-man Playstation game was released. I remember finding a link to Spider-man Hype through IGN I believe and there was this tiny video of Spider-man like jumping off of a roof in the game. It was amazing

I don't remember what event sparked me to sign up, but it was in November 2000. I was here throughout the Spider-man movie hype. Commented endlessly about the first teaser trailer with the twin towers. Talked with people while we begrudgingly watched Temptation Island to see the trailer. Geeked out for days after. Learned about Ultimate Spider-man and anticipated it and posted reviews of each issue

Watched the site grow into what it is today, and most of the people from back then aren't here anymore. There's a lot of fighting and politics on this site today, but back then it was just fun loving Spider-man talk.

I started posting here my last year of Middle school. All through high school and now over halfway through college.

I don't read comics anymore, sadly.

Worked at Petsmart for two years, hated it. Worked as a security guard for one summer, it was boring as hell but paid good.

Met my girlfriend the last year of Highschool, still with her now, we have an awesome apartment and a cat.

Posted silly drawings I did way back when I first came here, am now a junior illustration major. Have no idea what job I'm going to get, but going for it anyway.

I average 2.56 posts a day.

It's been quite a ride.
