Try serving almost 20 years here. I signed up when I was staying over at my grandparents' house when I was 15 - they had Internet access, which I didn't have at my family home. I've got several real-life friends whom I met here.

Can anyone tell me the meaning of some of the "Reactions," 

 

The Dolphin 🐬 (GNR)(Must be a reference to Estranged video where Axl jumps off a Cruise Ship into an ocean and gets rescued by a Dolphin 🐬) means,"I like this post, right? But there's already a "I like this post, and that's the blue 💙. There's also a Reaction of Axl's face smiling with a bandana and glasses called absurd. Do you use the "Absurd," reaction to call the post silly, because Axl is clearly smiling in that reaction. If he had a confused looking frown, silly would fit better. Do you use the Axl smiling reaction to mean you enjoy the post? I'm confused.

Don't feel bad. I am 19 years on another board myself. Going to be 20 years in May. 😃😏 It's amazing when a Website lasts at least 19 years. I know of a lot of Websites that lasted only about 10 years tops and then went out of business. I remember a Website called Purple PJ's that onlyb lasted about 5 years in the 2000's /early 2010's before going poof. It was a Website geared to Teens. It was an Advice Website for Teens. Speculations about the Website going poof was something like," Well, the carefree Teens who were the core Market back then are now grown adults with jobs, houses, bills, cars, young children, etc. How long would you have expected a Teen advice started in the 2000's to last? 5 years is pretty typical for that type of Website."

I signed up for the forum in an internet café in a hotel on one of the Scottish islands... It was £1 per hour to use the internet, all of the PCs had coin slots. I remember trying to load flash videos hosted on the main MyGNR site of the Rock in Rio 2001 performance to try and see what on earth GN'R sounded like post-1994.

I bet they're still buffering now! 

Anything Goes was great, but it spilled over into MSN messenger, which makes me feel very old!

More January 6 hearings today. Will this end with Trump's arrest? I would be shocked! How much more proof do they need to arrest him for inciting that riot on January 6

They were a very interesting watch, I hope something comes of them. But he is teflon so I doubt it

GNRTruth was the first forum I joined, I didn't last long. 'Jim' banned me for saying that gnr cover bands were fun to see. He called me a troll from Mygnr, and that's how I found this forum :lol:

I think it shut down completely. Walker was involved in the takedowns but is was Jim/Mojo who instigated it

North Korea continues to shoot missiles close to South Korea and Japan.

I read today that the US said if any of those missiles hits the US or any of our allies, it'll be the end of the NK regime. Well, I tell you finally someone has the balls to fight back with words that actually mean something.

Now if we can only get rid of Putin from Ukraine and move on.
