I got an email telling me about all the content I was missing on VJ - haven't been here for years - this place is all different now and I don't even really need it any more, but it was fun back in the day

 

Any of the legacy members still here?

I live, although you knew that through other channels. The grand and glorious madhouse that once was VJ has faded away to people far less likely to draw back the curtain on the insanity of their relationships. More's the pity.

 

A few are still around: Charles is still here, as are TBone and Boiler. mox has reemerged under a pseudonym which fooled me, as it might you: @moxy. I suspect a few other old-timers around, just wearing different skins. Everyone else from our generation seems to have wisely split or gone to the Great Permanently Banz0red Station in the sky. I do miss AJ on here, the very best VJ troll ever, in my estimation.

 

While I have no idea where my old nemesis Gary has landed (FAIR TAX! heel condoms!), I did find Alla on Instagram recently. She appears to have stayed put in Vermont and is now a talented artist working in pastels.

I've been a member for a little over 10 years, I don't see much changes throughout my years here.

I don't think I've logged in here in longer than that time - the forums have a lot more categories which is the main difference

Agree, A LOT more categories!  And I do think they didn't have a status option back in the day.
