What's up kids!
Mookie is 13 and a high school freshman and my youngest is 10. Talk about feeling old! Speaking of, 50 is rapidly approaching.

Re: I miss what this place used to be
I thin kabout this place from time to time and get all nostalgic. It makes me kinda sad sometimes. I kinda miss it.
And you can't help but wonder if everything is good with all the old guys and gals. Anyway a big hug to all the oldies. |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
I've been coming here since...ekhhhh... the late 90's? I've had a bunch of different user names, and I never really contributed that much. But I'd pop in every now and again, and I still read it quite a bit.
It's weird for me because - and don't take this the wrong way - but the Bboys are and have always been my favorite group of any genre, and I still listen to their records almost every day. So to me they're just as active as ever....... but then I remember that they're not (at least not in the way I remember them), and that MCA is dead, and that this place barely gets a dozen people to reply to anything. It all just petered out so quietly. No big group break-up, no shutting down of the website when the band retired, so scandal that ended the whole Beastie train. I just wasn't looking and it all stopped. I never met them and they never even knew I existed, but I felt like I saw the Boys every day for decades. Now... I dunno. Maybe I'll be getting a sandwich sometime and bump into Adrock. What would I say? "When's the new album coming out?" "How's Biz Markie?" |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
Coming here since 90s too. Was a teenager. Now I'm closer to 40 than 30.
I still think about the boys. Still listen to the albums. This place and the band shaped my life more than what seems reasonable. But wouldn't change it. Thanks BBS, thanks BBoys |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
Shiiiit, y'all even sound old! "Back in my day , I had to wait on AOL dial up to load before I could log in. And there was no facebook, or Instagram, and the BBMB was different colors and had more threads and blahh..blah..blah....."
Just kidding. Love you guys. ->->-> Will be 41 in one week, joined at age 26. |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
I just wanted to see if I remembered my password. I do.
I've been coming here since the late '90s, I'd guess. I was still in high school when I started. I'll be 33 in November. So, there's that. |

I just got a chance to read this, and damn. It made my heart hurt. So, so very true. I always assumed they'd always be here, and this board and all of you awesome people would always be here. It's like having family, and you get comfortable and think home will be here forever, because it always was. |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
Over the passed 20 years (of being an adult) I've learned that a lot of people suffer from crippling-anxiety. Three of my closest friends do but I wouldn't have known when they were not close friends as they hurt themselves (mostly mentally but sometimes physically) to not show it.
A lot of us self-manage with drink and drugs which makes us OK for a brief moment but it's no cure long term with side-effects that are often worse than what we started with. It doesn't help that there are some extroverts in the world who seem to be the life of world and we all think 'why am I not like them, they are normal' so we think that there is something wrong with us and we try to emulate. We see others trying to emulate and when you only catch the highlights of someone's life you think 'they have it sorted too, they are normal too' when actually they are screaming inside. Life is weird. But this thread isn't weird. |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
Damn.
I used to be on this shit literally all 8 hours of my shift at work back in the day. Unbelievably, the last time I logged on was exactly 364 days ago. Clicking though some old threads is like hearing a song from your youth that you haven't heard in a decade. It instantly takes you back to that time. A time when things weren't necessarily better, but definitely so much simpler. |

Re: I miss what this place used to be
Wow, I remembered my password. I never really made any friends on this, but I sure wasted a bunch of hours between '04-'09 attempting to do so.
