I miss what this place used to be

[tuc70021]

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?"

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

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.

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.
