Obviously I am new here, but I know how it feels. Back when I was 16 I signed up on another automotive forum. The site ended up getting shut down, but there were a group of us that stayed together. One of them made our own forum to talk about whatever on. It was kind of like our place to get away so to and talk about our lives, complain about women, jobs, etc. 12 years later we are still posting on the forum together. It's kind of crazy to have people online that you know each other better than people you know in real life. Go from being kids pretty much, growing up, having families and what not and sharing it with the same people 12 years later that you've never met before.
