    Kat was digitalkat too i think. 

    I dont even remember my name!  Lol.  Good times trading bootlegs, dissecting the Yield tour setlists,  so fun.  
    Yup - and Sea was always Sea.  I was always me, too :lol:

    I think I remember you, OP!  Someone here mentioned the Rumor Pit earlier and it made me think of the many friends I made on that old board (one I married, some I hope to hug again here in LA, and others in my heart).

    That bond with some here is just as strong for me, both in person and online.  I know others feel the same!
    I think I remember you, too, Hedonist! nice to see you again

    I'm hardly around at all anymore, but I saw your name and logged in to say hi to this more than welcome blast-from-the-past. :) I think you may have been one of the first folk I corresponded with when I joined Synergy as "rockrighter". (I cringed just typing that old username out. Eesh.) It's different now, in my opinion, but I'm not sure if I've moved on from the community, or if it moved on from me.
    I remember you, rockpants. You were always very passionate about whatever topic was being discussed. I think we even ended up at odds a few times, lol, but I always respected your passion and integrity. Good to see you again!

    I was not here for the Synergy days but I will say I have met plenty of people on these boards since 2013 that I would consider friends and would no doubt let them sleep on my couch without hesitation. 
    That's so good to hear?.that sense of trust and family is such a huge part of my fandom

    That’s so cool, I’ve met a lot of great fans through 10C and built friendships because of the music ..

    Who also logged into telnet and visited the text-only ampj (alt.music.pearl-jam)?  I did a lot of tape trading on there.
    I used that before I used synergy.   I did some trades.  Got ripped off big from a guy in saskatchewan.  Offered to sell me the singles from 91 to 96 for 200 including shipping.  Mailed me a burned cd..... grrrr... only time I've truly been ripped off by someone on the internet.

    I traded a copy of the 1st Alive cassette that was sent out to MLB fan club members for a few legendary 90's shows and Ed's 2 solo shows back in 2002. I found it at a Goodwill for 79 cents and thought I was getting a great trade. As soon as availability on stuff like that really opened up online a few years later I ended up regretting that decision. D'oh!

    Was there a guy named Fanch that would do drunken reviews of the albums or am I making that up?

    I'm sure you're making it up. There was never a guy named Fanch who used to drink truckloads of Natty Light and hold one-man listening parties for Riot Act.
