On this day in 1996...

[(t)]

Congrats Jarmo! You have come a long wayyyyy. Shit, we all have. I have kids now hahaha. My mom bought my forst computer summer of 1998. First thing I did after she connected AOL for me was go to WEBCRAWLER (NOT Google) and search GUNS N ROSES. Who remembers WEBCRAWLER??? Hahha. Before that, I used to go to my HS library after school and use their Netscape internet. Wow... Im an nold 34 year old. Dont post much but def check here 2-3 times per week. Yo Jarmo, you ever think you will become "cool" with the band?? Thats fkn crazyyyyyy. And we all hate you for it j/k lol

Oh, those innocent carefree days of Hotbot, Altavista and Lycos.

~Happy HTGTH Day~

You forgot Yahoo, when it was a list of subjects and sites relating to them. 


Thanks for sharing your stories. It's always nice to read about fellow fans who remember those days.
Before social media, Youtube and all that.

It's funny.  People think I must hate the guy, and ask me that all the time.

But on the other boards, I actually defend him.  Because its always people that don't post here, talking nonsense.  So I guess its like that dynamic where I can give my own family member a hard time, but that doesn't mean you can.  Wagons are circled.

Also think he gets a bad rap.  I haven't racked up over 5,700 posts here in just over 2 years because he crushes all dissent.  Fuck off outta here with that.

The most consistent GNR fan environment since the start. I think this is a great place to be, congrats Jarmo!!

Many great memories up through the years, hopefully many more to come!

he does get a bad rap. doesnt deserve it one bit. hes a part of the gnr family. he deserved that cd gift thingy from axl as much as anyone else. i basically see him as part of gnr.

i hope axl writes a song for him some day! how cool would that be, a song dedicated to Jarmo!?

"jarmo... something... blarmo... um".

im no good at this. what ryhmes with jarmo? actually it wouldnt have to use his name haja.

[jarmo]

Thanks for the kind words.

I get what you mean. When Jarmo comes across as angry at me (maybe he is, maybe he isnt??) I dont take any of it too seriously.. We just differ on certain topics.. but in the end we are all here because we love GNR's music. I have a big deal of respect for someone who can stay the course and dedicate so much time to the band through this website.. its a big effort.

I'll answer this for you, without actually believing it matters since I wouldn't know how I feel, apparently. Isn't, that's the answer.

you asked 'is he' or 'isn't he' .... he responded "Isn't" is the answer. 

The first part apparently refers to people doing exactly what I am doing now, which is, someone other than Jarmo telling people what Jarmo means or feels about any given subject.
