so curious now. Can you pm me who you were?

Motek? Crayon?

I have a bunch of friends who posted a lot here but now are mostly active on facebook groups.

I did meet Motek once, but no, I'm not her! We were together on ChabadTalk, too.

Also not Crayon, not sure I'm going to PM you but enjoying the memories!

I joined in 2009. Many members came and went since then. And I miss them.

When I joined freidasima was really big. She actually created many riveting threads.

The crowd was different. Some were very litvish from Israel and here others were MO and Chabad.

After the Internet Asifa many litvish people left.

And over the years certain modern orthodox posters left. Some felt judged or misunderstood some switched to Facebook etc.

Now there are many more chassidish posters.

I enjoy the new people. And wish the old ones stayed too.

And I also can’t nelieve how time has flown. This forum added so much to my life in the many phases I’ve been through in the last few years.

So thanks Yael!

I joined in 2006. I also remember the chat. It felt as though we knew almost everyone on the site back then. Amother didn't come with colors and it was hard keeping track of who was saying what when ppl were anonymous. Lol. At some point I took an extended break, then came back for a bit. Now I just lurk.
I'm chassidish btw, and I was definitely not the only one way back in the beginning.

I've only been on here for a couple of years but am super curious - were there ANY chassidim on here in those days? How about very yeshivish?

(I don't know who used the internet back then, in 2004 I was in like 2nd grade).


I'm here since 2008 and the chassidish velt was much more active then, than it is now.

Been on here since 2005. Back then there could be maybe 20 posts over the day sometimes. I’d log in when I’d nurse and there would be like 8 new posts since the last feed.
Motek (the drum avatar) would get worked up about stuff. I remember crayon. Also a lady from crown heights with a bunch of kids.

I started coming on about 2005. I had been posting for a few months and got more involved when I was off my feet for awhile due to being hit by a car.
Then I got attacked for something and didn't post for several years.

I’ve no idea when I joined but it’s been a looooong time. Long enough to miss some of the “desaparecidas” and to have noticed how some members have matured over the years. Long enough for certain questions to have come up for the fifth or tenth time:

1. I have no friends, how can I make friends?
2. What should I get dh for his bday
3. What should I ask dh to get for my bday
4. How to wash Tzitzis
5. How do you make Shabbos and keep the house clean when you have a baby and work
6. How to deal with intrusive questions when pregnant
7. Why won’t my challah rise
8. I’m attracted to a man at work, what should I do
9. How to keep makeup fresh over three day YT, sometimes expressed as “neighbor’s makeup still looks fresh on third day, how can this be”
10. Sibling getting married on mikvah night, what to do about makeup

When I joined, membership was maybe several hundred but growing fast. Now it’s in the thousands.

I've not been here very very long. I think I signed on late 2010? Or 2011?
Chat was kinda kewl.
Who remembers the day chat was malfunctioning? I had learned that day that I had a missed miscarriage. it was a hard night. And chatroom was having trouble. Anyone could sign on and put it whatever they wanted to be called..... so instead of putting in my username I put in a random name. And I kvetched about my situation.
I'll never forget how kind one poster was and she gave me so much chizzuk. She had no clue who it was. And I'll always be greatful for that kindness.
Thank you ABMOM!

And btw, there is also a Google chat that some of us who were very active on the Chatroom created.... it's down to mostly 5 active users....

Joined in 2008. Hard to believe it’s been so long. I’ll just say that I joined because a friend mentioned it and although she did not have a positive experience, and was likely a member from almost the beginning, I liked it.

I think that there are positives and negatives over here.

Remember we used to post our actual text in different colors as amother so we could distinguish ourselves from each other? I remember being 2 months pregnant and posting in bright orange to keep it a secret Very Happy

I joined in 2004 or 2005; I never imagined the site would get so big! If I had, I probably would have chosen a different username and posted less personal details. But now I just own it and I hope I haven't said anything that would make my dds want to kill me when they're ready to join IYH! (Sorry girls, you know I love you 😍)

OP, are/were you from Scranton or Baltimore?
