    Just wondering if anybody still remembers the old meniers.orgI actually joined about 15 years ago but dont get on here much anymore.It seems very tame now to what it was years ago.I remember some really nice people like dizzy sheba,gardenfish,Marian Albers from the netherlands(passed away) and so many more.Then they where the "others" one stands out,Nassman,boy did he cause a lot of ruckus on the board.like I said,things seem very calm now.

    Those were some times, I remember. Kinda miss the old Front Porch... got a lot of good memories and laughs out of it all.
    Some funny times, boy you couldn’t take things personally though.

    Oh yes I remember very well. We had some pretty heated conversations and a whole lot of laughs. I agree with BD you had to take some conversations with a grain of salt. Some very colorful folks.

    I remember that poster. I always thought his name should have been nastyman. Very abusive and deserved to be banned. There were some nice people too, but I don't remember their names. Anyone remember the woman who lived in Australia; she had been a nurse in the U.S. for a while but then returned to Australia.

    Ms Guided, or Ms.Guided/MsGuided? Owned chooks? At one stage posted a photograph of her new Ford Focus?

    I recall three Australian female members; ImNoScientist, MsGuided (I think that was her handle, I may be wrong), & another who's name escapes me—her avatar featured herself standing by a horse.

    Those names aren't familiar to me at all. She could have been the one who had the horse avatar, but it's been many years and I don't remember.

    Yes! That's her. I remember her because she told me about the bearded dragons that lived in her yard. (I like reptiles.)

    This may have been before my time. I'm failing to recall a Nassman, for instance.

    I remember Wombat, Imnoscientist, Jester/Wino, Intrepid, Melc, FadedRose, Dolfan, Henry, Onedayatatime, Fisherman, Belladonna (?), Coach Betz, Sartsoe, Gina05/Bumblebea, Moodymom, Bird, MsGuided, Karina the Cyclist, mtm, Hollymm, Chrisk, Ninja Tera, Linda, Philosopher, Gustav123, & Lulu.

    If I remeber correctly I joined around 2012, or 2013-ish.

    Not of late.

    We continued our email correspondence for roughly 24 months following her expulsion, however time between replies simply grew & grew, as they often do.

    It's been a long while since we've communicated.

    The only name out of all of those that I can remember is Linda. I think I originally joined about 18-20 years ago. I didn't stay very long because there was no way at the time to block offensive posters and I just didn't want to deal with them. I rejoined a couple of years ago, found that the forum has changed for the better so here I am.

    I can remember people getting fed up and leaving but didn't know that some of them started their own forums. Then I left. I remember Gardenfish--he was so nice. The last place there should be that kind of nastiness is an illness-related support forum. Someone mentioned Marion Albers--I remember her. Sorry to hear that she has passed on.
