to be honest it was the exact same thing, granted a few less retarted posts they were relativley the same...harvey posted, everyone knew him, he knew everyone, but still post content was about the same, it was just smaller, now theres more people, so theres more stupid posts.

When did I join? Becuase whenever that was was even after them. I remember when I joined it was so much better than it is now, I guess just a more intelligent generation populated the site and there were more posts that had a point to them rather than useless gabber from people trying to make their post count jump.

God, i remember the good old days, back before i was a member and i would just log in as a guest and mull around reading the hilarious posts of Lat, Toliet and Mommy. I learned so much about skiing back then, and yes there were unicorns thousands of them.

toilet and mommy were was after then....AND IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT IS NOW....the posts were retarted, the people were retarted, now its just more people, and more posts, so it looks worse, but post whoring and stupid viedeo still existed, and the 13 year olds asking for girl advice were still there, yea i come on this site onc ein a while, but at least i can say the forums, especially non-ski gabber, are a waste of internet space...

I'd say that right now we're going through a sort of renaissance. Look at how much the site has changed, new design, more content, better design, and just overall more stuff. I think it's getting better and better. All the talk about how NS was so much better has been going on since I joined 4 years ago.

ah yes, back in the day. NS had waaaaay less activity in the forums back then, simply because when i joined there were just under 7000 members. the site also looked totally different. it was almost all royal blue, and way more simply styled. there was also only one section for photos and videos, no jump or rail or edit divisions. you also gained posts for post in videos and photos. cults also didnt exist back then. and there was pretty much no hating. NS radio was also not around, but despite not having alot of the nice things that we have now, the simplicity and lack of noobs made it great.

back when me and stevie were noobs were certainly the good old days, when there were never more than 20 people online, everyone knew everyone and knew everything about them, skiing was still cool, people respected each other and the highest post count on the leader board was less than 2,000. There was the race to get the 100,000th post on the message board, there was us teaching cedric how to speak english - and most of you won't even know who he is now...
...they were good times, but they still definitely live on, in certain hidden away parts of the site, they're still there and they're still fun...

the old days of newschoolers was much like the shire. harvey, the creator was our gandalf and mike hunt was our pippin. flanker, our frodo, would frolick among the forums and pictures with his m16. dspin17x, our very own sauron would terrorize peaceful members, tell them they suck and to fuck their mothers. long ago are the golden days of newschoolers.
that made my day
