After Martin mentioned the 10 year anniversary, I thought I'd have a look and see what's become of the old place. My last post here is so old, I just typed "juventuz.net" in my browser - go figure. I assume most of you have no idea who I am, that's alright.
Also, Martin, I didn't realize you were still this active around here considering your modern disinterest in football. I suppose the old hangout still has a lot going for it, then?
As I recall, I joined the forum in 2002. Very much interested in football and Juventus and posting relevant, on-topic things. I even made it to moderator at one point, which was a bit weird.
The old gang (Martin, Lisa, Nina and I) hung out for a few years. That was probably the best time of the forum for me. The highpoint being 2004, after that the group fell apart.
The years after that I mostly remember a lot of weird off-topic conversations with Tom from Derby and DJ Juve. Are they still here? Those were good times.
There are many posters that I have fond memories of, way too many to list here. Most of them have probably left, anyway. People like Snoop, Bes, Tahir, Graham from Australia, John from Dublin, Kiran, Nawaf. Are you still here?
This has been a one time reappearance in a place that I don't really recognize anymore (and few of you recognize me, I guess) just to say: thank you, Martin. My life would have been very different without this place. You know that, of course, since you had front row seats to the whole thing.
And thank you for everything, all you posters that I conversed with over the years. Be well and be happy. Perhaps we'll meet again, some day, somewhere.

EDIT: I just noticed I have a Private Message from someone named d.nico from 12 March 2007 where he/she asks me for money: no dice, kid. Get a job.
