I didn't realize DarkStar_ had left the forum, so that's something I just learned.

His profile says he is on an extended break, and that there will be long delays in responses.

A lot of those members had strong presences here and established reputations, and I think they also added to the spiciness bitcointalk used to have some years ago, which for the most part is gone.

yes, a lot of those I mentioned were notable members when I remember them being here. Them being gone makes things feel very different.

By the way, if you wanted replies you probably shouldn't have made this thread self-moderated. Just saying.

I didn't think self-moderation would be a big deal, and was done to prevent the spammers, and trolls, but I removed it a few days ago.

You missed TMAN on the list.

I thought about him, but given the fact that he was last active in March 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and last posted a month prior, I have long assumed that he may have been lost to covid. IIRC, he lived in Europe, which was pretty bad around that time. This is speculation, and I don't have any specific information about him.

It's good to see you around again QS. Time goes by really fast.
I hope you are in good mental health. Money can be lost and earned again, but health is more important than anything else. The more time goes by, the more I realize that. Enjoy your time.

Its nice to see you too EFS.

Just looked my 10 year mark here was a few months ago. Didn't even remember. Congrats on making it a decade.

Just had my 25th anniversary on another forum.

And dang I'm old just looked and had 30+ anniversary on another. Signed up when the only way to surf was a on Lynx which is a text only browser on a site (if you could even call it that) that had no name only IP address to get to it. But damn we traded a lot of hardware on it.

I have not really been active on any other forum as much as I have been here. I have a reddit account, but I really have barely ever even lurked there. There's stack overflow, but I really am not even logged in when I search for something, so I am not even sure if I would consider myself to be a 'member' there.

Congrats on your decade here!

I can say however that my North Star has always been what I believed to be right at the time.

I see your honesty has not changed. :/ You wrote many things you knew were not true, based on the politics at the time.

After I was promised help, I removed trust on you and left the forum. (The offer of help was a lie so I came back). I received PMs warning me against you. Now I see they were correct- you are the same dishonest thief you were ten years ago.

I am not really sure what you are talking about. I see that you decided to leave a negative rating for me for this thread. I have not traded here in a long time, barely even post anymore, so the rating is not going to affect me. I hope it makes you feel better.

I'm willing to forgive and forget, but the first thing you could do to help that along would be to admit that PrimeNumber7 is your alt account.

Looking at the post history, it doesn't look like that account is very active here recently either. It looks like the post he made 20 posts ago was in June of last year.

One other thing that I wanted to mention was the woodcollector saga. The dude was definitely misrepresenting that he was "hand carving" (or whatever the specific claim with his "hands" was) his pieces, but he did make interesting art pieces related to bitcoin. Once he was called out for his dishonesty, a lot of drama followed, and eventually, he turned into a very good troll. It was just one memory I have of the forum.
