Memories....like the corners of my mind...misty water-colored memories...
...scattered pictures.....Ok I'll stop now, but I bet it's in your head already.

So many great memories... too many to post here, without boring everyone to death, but I'll give you some.

I remember what it was like when I first found the site, I was overwhelmed to find so much information in one place, it was awe inspiring. Everywhere I looked I found great tips and solutions to my problems. I suspect, without Aximsite I wouldn't be using a PPC today.
I remember my first tentative posts and how well they were answered.
I remember the first time I knew the answer to a question, and had the courage to post my answer.
I remember the support and encouragement from everyone on the site.

I joined after the infamous MrK era, but I have learnt a great deal about those times by reading the old threads.
I was fortunate enough to be here when his other great incarnation, Merkin, was active and they were great times.
I particularly remember Merkin helping me through some tough personal moments.

I remember my frustration at not knowing how to post a picture directly in a post and my fascination with how people made animated Avatars, both of those problems were solved for me with the unquestioning help of RS9.

I remember the camaraderie, helpfulness, jocularity and all round good fun from all the members here.
I remember so many old threads that people don't visit anymore.
I remember the wonderful conversations in the Water Fountain and the thought provoking debates in the P&R forum.
I could start listing individuals but I would be sure to miss one and I don't want to risk that.
I have made some life long friends here that I would never have met otherwise, some have gone and some are still here and I'm sure there are still more to come.

I guess these aren't really memories of Aximsite events, just my memories of why I love this place.

I think mostly I remember how confused and intimidated I was when I first came here, and yet everyone was friendly and helpful, so I do my best to give back what was given to me back then.

Regrets.........I've had a few......but then again..too few to mention......

Did I mention I remember the musical conversation thread?
