GFY was around on 9/11/01 ??
 

What were the post like those days? Search does not go back that far.
It was only 9 months old.

mm the same post whoring as now i guess

lots of people were on holiday (among them lens) and reported back from abroad.. was it italy lens? can't remember...

It was a kind of different board back then, but you still needed to have a back bone to hang here.
There was a lot of other cool people here but alot don't post as much now

Also there wereless surfers :thumbsup

Interesting. :thumbsup

You can search in reverse order if you go to advanced search.

Here is the first thread about the WTC.. just a few minutes after the first plane crash.
That was a very surreal day for GFY

blah ! it was a surreal day for the entire world

Amp and Gary posting like fucking crazy.

12clicks on a huge anti-liberals posting binge.

I don't remember ever seeing the words...*see sig*
Boneprone and the BP4L group kept things going and very funny!
The drama was more meaningful and believable.
There were quite a few more women that posted then.
A thread would last more than a few hours on the main page.
The was no WOJ at 50

The 9/11 post about the planes hitting the twin towers went like 10 pages in no time, in fact that thread is where I learned about what was happening. It seemed like a lot of people thought it was the start of world war III or something, was pretty intense.

From day one this board has been a vortex where you either sink or swim. Kind of like a giant toilet, bigger than other toilets on the block but with more shit going on. :D

true that

There were a lot fewer GFY members then also. A thread going to 10 pages back then would be like one going to 50 pages now without all the BS. Very rare.

just wait till 9/11...some ass always bump the thread and the rest of the people tell him how it's either "classless" or how it's a good idea to remind the people of what happened etc.....same thing every year...

I had the first 9/11 post

I thought I did under the name 'Sjayne' but I am certainly not in a contest for it.

Yes, it was but on the day we were getting more news from that thread and personal accounts than we were getting on the news. Not to mention phone lines down and people calling people's families for each other, etc.

To be honest, it was the day I saw the human side of a lot of people here. We were all friends for a few hours.

It was a very crazy day wasnt here was at my day job it was like it wasnt real at first.

actually on the day 12clicks was just human trying to help people

we had tons of post whores back then

You are thinking of me dude..

I was in Italy and reading about the 9-11 attacks on GFY. All of the internet cafe was.

All the news sites like CNN were down..

It was a real scarry time.

Our only live news source was GFY.

BP4L is 4-Life man..

Thanks for the props dude..

Still here. Still BP4L..

Just chilling watching all the poor $$ newbies make fools of themselves..

Only a matter of time before we sweep them all up and fuck with em with the family again.

It was a shitty day in this world's history ... not just the event ... but the whole thing that followed...

im still around
:thumbsup

I remember reading the thread on the terrorist attack. I read GFY everyy so often before I finally started posting.

It's the first board I've ever joined.

Oh and there weren't that many surfers around here.....

This was a wild post: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=512330

the looks on those poor old peoples faces :(

I got still got chills reading that thread...wow. :(

GARY:

"i cant reach CNN, Foxnews or msnbc on the net. Anyone else having problems? Fortunately i got GFY, which beats CNN hands down."

true.. sorry about that boneprone

That was my first day of reading GFY, I remember every second of that day.

I remember that one

Must be the 10th time Ive read that thread al the way through

So fucking scarey

GFY way back on Oct 17, 2000

http://69.72.142.18/~clients/misc/gfy_17_10_2000.jpg

I used to bump it every year on the day but then I started getting abuse for doing it so I let others do it. I just think it is an incredible bit of history and not just because I started it. I remember posting something in there like 'those buildings aren't going to hold'..chills

the same i would say...!!!

<-----------

and I can't remember that far back

I do remember... I use to visit sexshare and people kept posting about GFY, so I ask what's GFY :)

who is 12clicks ?

I was posting under makaveli..

Even GFYers were brainwashed into joining the army after 9/11

God, reading that 9/11 thread is chilling - posts like "Can you believe there's only one Trade Centre Tower left?" and "Those buildings aren't going to hold" and the fact that three people posted "The second tower's gone" pretty much all at the same time shows how crazy that day was.

Unfortunately, I was only twelve when it happened - I don't remember much of the actual day. I wasn't really sure what'd happened, and only in recent years have come to appreciate the true horror and scale of the whole event.

Currently download the National Geographic's 9/11 Documentary from Bitsoup.org - recently I've wanted to know everything about 9/11 since I missed so much on that fateful day. In fact, I don't think I even reacted to it. I actually remember seeing people being interviewed after both planes had gone in and seeing them sobbing and genuinely frightened, and then seeing the towers smoking and saying something like "Christ, you're overreacting a bit - it's only a fire isn't it?". I always feel guilty for saying that, even though I didn't know truly what had happened.

Yeah, I may be British but seeing the partiotic stance of pretty much every American in the aftermath (in terms of days) was truly awe-inspiring.

^--- underage

yeah, I was doing the maths too

Yeah, that makes me sixteen now. I'm 17 in March. Erm...big woop?

nah it was totally different back in 01

i barely know most of those members .. it will take me a
couple of days to read the entire thread.

:smokin

yes - you will get arrested when they catch you reading GFY at 16. didn't you send a copy of your ID when you signed up?

in case you didn't: lensman @ adult dot com - mail it there

No, I didn't - but I'm hardly going to get arrested.

It's like saying 16/17 year olds get arrested for going on porn. Which, they don't.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter that I'm like 18 months out.

something tells me you will have your own thread soon enough

Joy. Attention on a forum I hardly visit.

EDIT: But let's not bother with that now - veering *way* off topic.
