How welcoming the community was.
-
All the stupid mistakes I made and how kind and encouraging (some) folks were that helped me "get it right".
-
People not "getting" me at first... but then me warming their little hearts up with some Fun lovin.
-
1. how i didn't know how to manuver around the site :/ 2. That the list of people on the right the "moderators" were the ones who knew the most.... uhh.. 3. i didn't know how to check peoples responses :/ ha. i was retarded. 4. oh and how nice everyone was
-
Im new and trying desperately to 'find my way around' at the moment - thanks to all who have been helpful
-
How addictive it was...my first night being an all-night BENDER.
-
Not knowing anything about the site, so I left for a long time and didn't really come back until like 7-8 months later:)
-
All the compassion this site seemed to have for a member who had past away. Never before had I witnessed such heart felt emotion in a web site.
-
I just thought the whole concept was all-around sweet.
-
How lost and helpless I felt at the time and very alone. Things were going very badly and got worse and then after a couple of weeks on here my husband died and the Members were incredible in their kindness and support..
-
How I did everything wrong, but was helped by some awesome people. I still mess up here and there.
-
Fewer people, no avatars, no social questions, but still great people.
-
I kept seeing the friend's request, under my profile and activity. I didn't know what it was. So I just ignored it. Oooops!
-
How alone I felt when all these people seemed to know and like each other. Even the people that argued, seemed to do it with great relish. And they were commenting and chatting together and I felt like I'd never fit in or they wouldn't like me or want to talk to me ever as there wasn't room for more people.
-
Not being able to find the answers I was searching for, but being intrigued enough to stay here.
-
How uncertain I was, how distant some of the 'old timers' were, and how tight everyone seemed with each other. I wasn't really aware of anything else going on at the time. But mostly I remember the shock of the reaction to the first question I posted - I was really nervous about it, and it wasn't very good, but boy did I get punished! One guy gave me such a hard time, we got into a real row about it! I nearly gave up there and then, but I persevered and I'm really glad I did... :) In the end, I found that most ABers are really great and I've made more friends than I ever thought possible in a situation like this. It's amazing, an totally adictive :)
-
That AB had about fifty active members and no points system.
-
I was amazed and accepting people were.
-
I remember that you had to wait to see if people liked your answer because there wasn't any instant feedback like we have now. We got a letter grade. When I came back, the points system had just been implemented, we could comment, and it was more of a community. The questions are a lot different now too. It's more social than it was. I like it, though.
-
There weren't many members in January 2006 and there wasn't a lot of social interaction. There was no point system either - answers were graded A,B,C. If I remember correctly we didn't have avatars either!
