Welcome back. We are....still here!!!!Hiatus ~10 years.
Midlife crisis time for me. Back reaching for the lasers in my 40s. I thought I was done in my early 30s. But sometimes life takes you in unexpected directions.
So glad to see you found the archives. I am just excited that we have been able to keep this place going given so many forums have disappeared. Touching so many people's lives in good ways over the years is a legacy I'm proud of.Randomly logged back in to try and see if an old event thread still existed to see if I could work out when I met ozbreaker in real life. Seems like there's no Aus Social & Events archive, but some of the old threads are still here.
Some of my dearest friends are people I met through BL. This place truly changed my life. Still makes me chuckle a bit to think we organised a snow trip back in 2003 with a bunch of BLs who mostly hadn't met each other!
Goodness we have to have known each other given I also had accounts on those communities in the early-mid 2000s in particular. But also thescene.com.au!It's huge that this place is still going. Well done!
My other favorite haunts of my rave era, Teknoscape and Inthemix are long since retired.
well, the original post was from 2010. We were older back then, so we are even older now! Don't think anyone around here is too insulted? This may also be a bit of an 'Aussie phrase' - "you bunch of old farts!" that is.the thread creater shouldnt be calling them farts and have respect for them
I’m super super lateI'm six months late but wanted to say hi to Footscrazy. Really glad to hear about the sobriety being good to you. I met up with you, Spacejunk, and a couple others IRL a handful of times and always enjoyed the company (and the inevitable substance use).
Lol dicky heart and v dicky back.....so basically eggsI forgot about BL for years...
Place looks pretty good.
Hope everyone is going great!

Wazzaaaaaa! I have not forgotten to reply, life has been lifeing, will expand in DMFriend's birthday I met through here this week. We spoke about bluelight/days/music (lots of Melbourne techno + trance stuff from 90s+00s making a come back) ! I saw BigTrancer out recently along with a couple other bl'ers! Still some of the best peeps I know, 2 decades+ later

26 years for me too, a bucket load of lessons (experiences and people), but i am so thankful for my health and the village of people I still count as best beloveds from these baby blue bulletin boards. Ive had the chance to meet interstate and international members on my travels now, and the friendships of folks I've not even met are so precious to me. (Someone is cutting onions, i need my onion goggles)
