Hey. I'm a NG convert.

Whorella is still around. A lot more Hip references than usual recently... At least in the titles of her posts anyway. I don't have the time, vocabulary or appropriate screw loose to actually read the things.

i didn't post that often to AMTH but always lurked, work kept me too busy to post very often but time has freed up for a bit now. I remember Whorella/Kathy-jo. It seemed to me that for a while in the early days she actually posted on topic and made some insightful comments, then it just all went awry, 200 line posts about the particulars of nothing inparticular. I think she's still around AMTH, one of the only ones left now that the hipbase is here.
All for now,
Aaron

I posted at amth many moons ago quite frequently...daily, actually. Whorella was EVERYWHERE. Lately, I've just been sitting in the bleachers with amth, so to speak...just reading posts and making mental notes.

However, I see Whorella is still alive and well. Actually, she makes more posts now than anyone on the entire newsgroup. How sad.

I t hink everyone has abandoned ship at amth and have come over to hipbase.

Let's just hope Whorella doesn't follow suit! Smile

so yeah,
those of you who were at AMTH sometime long ago....what was your handle? I was, of course, Cordelia. I haven't been there in AGES! Life got different...but I can check Hipbase out now and, who knows, maybe catch up with some regulars from back then...

oh, yeah, I used to post a fair bit....and had some very interesting "discussions" with KJ

peace,

I lurked there until I found this place, never posted though. I remember long, weird posts that got in the way of me finding out any news :p

Did she post on the Pearl Jam one too?

Okay, I took a loof and I can only say that I am glad that there is the hipbase.

Read a couple of Whorella's posts... I don't even know what to say, Confusedhock:

Thank You Lance for such a killer site!

She posts to a number of groups, including her own... I have no idea how one would go about getting their own Newsgroup.

I used to post over there all the time until I discovered Hipbase.
I never had a handle though. I just used my real name (Casey Routly). Whorella is an interesting character, but I certainly don't miss her at all. I don't think she knows this place exists, otherwise she probably would've been here months ago.

I just used my name, Kari. But I do remember bout 5 years ago there were two Kari's on the amth...so I was Kari #1. That newsgroup hasn't been the same in a couple of years. It's really gone downhill.
