Hey everybody, I'm new here. You probably don't recognize my username, but some of you might remember me. I remember quite a few of you, anyway. For a while I went as "Squinky" on a number of Disneyland boards.
A couple of days ago I went through all of my old posts at Mousepad (I was surprised they were still there, actually) and it really brought me back. I mean, I was 14 when I first signed up for Mousepad, so to be able to go back and basically look through my childhood was a very weird and surprising experience. I remembered all the good times I had on that board, before it kind of took a wrong turn somewhere, and I know most of you are familiar with that so I won't get too far into it. Since then, I've been at Micechat basically since its inception, and while it's a much better situation I don't really relate to any of the people there and I kept wondering where the best posters from Mousepad's heyday had gone to.
After looking through my posts and getting all teary eyed I pm'd zapppop and he told me a li'l story about the recent history of the online Disneyland community and told me to sign up here, so I did. Turns out all the posters I remember liking from Mousepad have been here this whole time! It was really trippy to look through the names when I first came here and remember almost all of you from so many years ago.
Anyway, I really like the whole aesthetic that's going on here and I think I'll have a lot of fun. I'm glad to be here!
