Hey, it's been ages since we all posted on AG. The smart thing to do would have been to leave there ages ago...sadly I've only abstained from AG for about a year now.
If you're reading this, let's do a roll call of who's still alive, and if you want, say what's new in your world.
I'm fucking old now...started posting on AG when I was like 21...now I'm 32. I'm still living in the Baltimore area for about 5 years now. Got married (poor girl) and bought a house about 2 years ago. I have ZERO interest in WWF/E these days. About 10 years ago I started to become interested in UFC and at some point I became a full blown fanatic. It's for this reason that I can't stand watching fake punching, kicking, etc anymore. It was fun back in the day, but I think I juiced up dudes have no place filming soap operas. For those who don't know, Brock Lesnar became the UFC HW champion in 2008 and held the belt until about last summer. That's about as much exposure as I've had to the wrestling in years.
The I Love Lemonparty!!!_S_Earp creature (whom I cloned with my nick of I Love Lemonparty!!!_S_Earp-) was the start of many good times to come on audiogalaxy. Many of you guys made it a fun time too. Then bathgate10 caused a revival of a board that was dying. Even when he stopped posting for almost 3 years, his lasting effect kept the board going with nostalgic conversation about the past. Like when any good tv show comes to a close, it's always sad to let things go. But it was a DamnGood run that we had.
So who the fuck else is still around and checking this board? Speak

Wow...it's been a long time since I've been here. Didn't expect to see any posts from any of the old boardies. Damn. I was 19 when I started posting on ag, now it's a decade later. The years just roll on so quickly I almost lose track of time.
Like probably all of us, I can't hardly consider myself a wrestling fan anymore. I still have a place in my heart for it since it was a pivitol part of my youth since I was a wee lad, but the product's become unispiring, dull, and to the point where I can't really watch more than 5 minutes on ANY wrestling program. Mainly I keep up with the pro wrestling world strictly through wrestling sites just to see who's around or who's departed. (RIP Macho)
Far as life goes, still single, still in the Hampton Roads area. Left retail after 8 years(thank God). Family life's a little different, especially since I lost my grandmother back in Nov of last year. Seems like if there's not drama here in VA there's drama with my dad's folks up in PA. I try to stay out of it, but I always end up catching wind of it. Other than that, I'm just older, fatter(not fat just heavier) and keeping my hair trimmed. Grew out of the long haired phase ages ago.
Seeing this board now does make me miss you guys, even if only a little. It was a cool thing to come home to after a long day of work just to wind down and have a laugh or two reading some of these outrageous posts. I don't really visit any other forums and spend most of the time looking up videos on youtube or iming on facebook. Look me up under Jason Thomas and add me. For anyone on the PSN I'm also there under assass1ns0rder.
I'd love to hear from you guys again sometime and if there's a new hangout spot online, just give me the info and I'll be there.
Much love, much peace, much respect,
Jason.

What's up dude. Glad to see you're doing well. I'm happy you made it out of the retail grind. Like yourself, I exited that shit after 12 years in 2009....and also like you, I haven't looked back. So I tried looking up "Jason Thomas" on Facebook. I might as well have looked up John Smith, lol. There are seemingly over 1000 people with your name. Hit me up on there and I'll add you. Cheers I know there's other people still checking this forum from time to time. Say what's up and maybe drop an update. Where are you Nadeem? www.facebook.com/F0AD.troll

(AK_2K2/SpasticArmorer on AG and The_Hamburglar later on Soundchain.)
Ha it took me much persistence to figure out how to log in here again.
So are there are little Earps on the way? But yeah I'm 28 now. Back in Alaska. Not married, but have a house so I guess I'm almost a proper adult now. I concur, this place was superbly entertaining in it's prime even though I never actually was into WWF.
Sent you a PM Wyátt.

I guess Oregon wasn't a forever home. Had no idea you were never even briefly into wrestling. How did you end up at the WWF board anyway? It must have been bathgate. In terms of little ones, yes, we did add a little Earp to the stable this past April. He's a carbon copy of his old man, only far more mature. I highly recommend the job of dad...so long as you don't mind leaving behind the ability to buy all the sexy jerzeys you want. Diapers are expensive.

So weird to come across this while looking for something on my mum's old computer, probably a decade since I last posted. Its sad to see how it was taken over by trolls!
Congrats on getting married I Love Lemonparty!!!! I bet we're all living very different lives now!
I was 13 the first time I posted on AG. I'm now nearly 27, also married! Working full time as a bank manager, in a bank I've worked at for over 7 years. But going to college in the evenings to retrain as an accountant. How boring! Also somehow become a bit of a gym addict and cant stand WWE (or TV at all really) anymore! Definitely not the same insomniac teenage girl that spent hours in her pyjamas in front of a giant windows 96 computer screen talking on the AG message boards.
Although I forgot this place existed, there will always be the few people I occasionally think about that I will never forget. And those that I keep in touch with on facebook, although not as often as I would like. Life gets in the way.
Its funny to think that I met one of my best friends in the world through somebody on the WWF board and 10 years later she was a bridesmaid at my wedding. Nobody has posted on here in a year, but I hope somebody sees this and replies. I would love to hear how you're all doing.
Lots of love,
Slinky xx

Hey Slinky! It's good to see another OG stop in to say hello after all this time. Glad to hear you and the others who have posted on here are living happy, well adjusted lives in your respective areas. I'm hopeful that everyone else who we used to post with is doing well. SOE and I are linked up on FaceBook, and I encourage anyone else who wants to stay in touch to look me up as well. www.facebook.com/F0AD.trollAK, since I knew your name, I looked you up on Facebook and sent you a link that you may know something about.I laughed my ass off after reading it again years after the fact.... www.xc.i8.com/CNN/cnn.htmlSlinky, that's an awesome story about how your online friendship turned into something so much bigger. Glad to hear you are married and doing well in your adulthood. I was exchanging emails with Bathgate until about 2011 where we both went silent. I wonder if anyone else still keeps in touch with the memorable dozen or so that seemed to stay engaged for years after AG music sharing went offline? Bathgate10 Timbo2Cool GuyKidman PlasmaOwns Then_Why_Are_You_Came ImThatDamnGood SamABad I Love Lemonparty!!!_S_Earp (not me, the original) Hell, I even wonder what music_n_art or Barron are up to?? We had lots o fun memories on there! Cheers, James

For some reason it wont let me add or message you on facebook I Love Lemonparty!!!... very strange!
I still speak to GuyKidman if saying happy birthday to each other every year counts! Him and Mousey. Nobody else!
I randomly wondered what happened to Raiyan16 a couple of days ago when I saw a fat, greasy looking Chinese man drop food and coke all over himself at the Macdonalds drive-thru... he looked just like I imagined Ray to!
Would be good if we could find everybody to post on here how they're doing. I wonder how many babies and marriages etc there would be to announce. I wouldnt know where to track anybody down, and probably wouldn't make the effort to... but its a nice thought!

Hey Slinky, I think that was my fault. I had my privacy settings on high and didn't realize it at the time. It should work now. If enough of you friend me on Facebook, I'll start a private group on there where we can reminisce. So far only SOE is the only Audiogalaxy OG I have linked up with. We need more than 2 sausages to get a party going. www.facebook.com/F0AD.trollBut in the meantime, if anyone else out there wants to just check in on here and catch us up on what life has been like, go for it. I'm hoping all are well and healthy. I just reconnected with bathgate10 recently! And I think he probably left me in the dust, when it comes to maturity.

Hey guys. Apparently it's been 12 years since I last logged in, and I have no idea what my password was, so a guest post will have to do.
Seems like I'm one of the only ones who still watches wrasslin haha. Actually dipped out for close to a decade, but been watching a fair bit over the last few years. Mostly New Japan, but a bit of WWE too. It's goofy fun and a good excuse for me to keep in touch with my little brother, who is a huge fan. We're planning to meet up in Japan later this year to see a NJPW show or two.
It's the 25th anniversary show of Raw tonight, and that triggered memories of this place and all you guys. Nice to see a few messages from folks over the last few years.
Back in the glory days of the AG board, I was privately struggling a fair bit with depression and anxiety issues, so the nonsense we'd chat on here was a good distraction from that.
After kicking depression, I finished up my degree, worked for a while as a copywriter in advertising, and an editor in educational publishing, before finally moving into teaching. I moved out to a tiny pacific country nobody has ever heard of (Kiribati) to do some long-term volunteering, and loved my time there. Fell in love with island life.
These days, I'm 31 and have been living in China for the last couple of years. I live down near the borders with Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. It's beautiful here and easy to travel to interesting spots. The people are really great, and I expect I'll stay for a few more years. Also thinking of moving down to Myanmar, or heading back to the Pacific at some point, but there are a few things I want to achieve here first.
I don't own a home, but the long term plan is to settle down in New Zealand. Slowly saving up for that.
I'm not married, but I'm seriously thinking about it at the moment. I've been in a very happy relationship for close to 2 years now. We're heading to India for a holiday next month and I intend to pop the question there if everything goes according to plan.
I'm glad everyone is doing so well, and I wanted to wish you all the best. Thanks for all the laughs. Sorry I pretended to a) be a woman and b) have lost my hand in a horrific boating accident for the sole purpose of creating an environment where people could make hand-based puns at my expense...

Well I'll be. I actually remembered my password.
Great to hear from everyone. And what a place this was to chat about wrestling & other nonsense.
As for me, well where do we start......?
I was living at home during my most active period on this forum (c. 2002-05). But I moved to the south west of England (Plymouth) in 2005 to study at uni. Sadly, it didn't work out. But I managed to stay in Plymouth for about 12 years. I spent the time working (mainly in retail) until last year, when my then-partner & I attempted to start a new life in China (she's originally from Shanghai).
Alas, it didn't work out & we separated. I moved back home to Nottingham last year & have stayed there since. I now have a lovely job in a warehouse. And I really enjoy it. Good hours, great colleagues...... AND NO DEALING WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!!!!! :-)
Like most of you guys, I don't follow wrestling any more. But I don't hate it either. I'll always have respect for the guys & gals of the WWE & other organisations for their dedication & the sacrifices they make to entertain millions of people. The job of professional wrestler or road crew is a way of life & they're better folk than I am for putting up with the aches & pains that are a part of the job.
Timbo: great to hear from you, man! Glad to hear your experience of China is going far better than mine ever did. Let's just not mention Sunderland though.
Good to hear from everyone else.
Oh, and although I've changed a lot in the last 13+ years or so, I'm still prone to posting drunken nonsense online..... through social media this time. Old habits die hard, guys.

Great to see some more updates! Glad that Timbo and Siddo had a chance to check in. While most of us have moved around since the days of posting together, it amazes me how some of you have had a chance to hop around oceans and continents.
Unfortunately Jason (aka Soul Of Edge) canceled his Facebook account a year or 2 ago and we've lost touch. I still exchange a random message or 2 yearly with Bathgate on LinkedIn. He's a good guy and we've actually been discussing getting together for a real life meet & greet. He lives close to the town where my in-laws reside in. We need to make it happen this year.
In the meantime, I've got 2 kids that keep me busy and happy most days. My son is 6 and my daughter is 3. He is a carbon copy of me physically... but spiritually he's my wife. My daughter is the exact opposite. Physically she's just like my wife... but spiritually she's like her old man. Will probably be a clown (like me) and will cause me to lose all my hair when she hits her teenage years. But I love every second of being a parent and I'm sure that most agree.
Keep the updates and check ins coming guys! Love reading what you're all up to.

Damn, nearly seven years since I last checked in here! And even an appearance by the man, Timbo! I'm relieved you didn't actually lose your hand in that boating accident. Well I kind of took up the nomadic lifestyle as well. I sold my house I mentioned up there, and traveled to about twenty countries. Thirty-five years old now, but back in Alaska. I've been pretty busy lately as we had something of a large earthquake this winter that caused a lot of damage. But headed back to Asia in another month. I guess I can't really figure out where I want to be at the moment. I'm glad Wyátt is doing his part to keep the human race going... I can only imagine the trouble those kids will get into if they take after their dad! And I really want to hear what results from the bathgate meeting. I actually hope he's doing well! I never was into wrestling (I'm pretty sure I followed bathgate over from the eminem board), but I did happen to be in Phoenix this winter with Royal Rumble going on downtown... I'm not going to lie, it looked like a fun time - I regret not getting tickets.
