My buddy Jeff, i use to work with in a call center, use to go on all the time, & i would be so bored waiting for calls to come in & we had access to the internet but i would get bored of every website, forum, & video on YouTube. You name it.

Then he told me about the Slap Forum.

We would spend 6 of the 8 hours lurkin on here & it killed so much time.

Then the I.T. dudes found out what we were doing at work the whole time & blocked Sports, Entertainment, Forums, etc. so we couldn't do shit. I ended up getting laid off but even at home, i spend hours on this a week.

The last forum I posted on went bye-bye. I came here, lurked for a while, then started posting.

i did it more or less the same way, i was working at a call center and would get retardedly bored so i started bringing dvds to watch while i worked, once i got bored of that i just started talking shit on every forum i could find, at the time this one was good, especially compared to the others like skateboardrumors and transworld etc. now its much worse but im still stuck here when im not skating.

One of my homies made it in the top 10 for One In A Million, and some dude said he had scare crow steez, so I tried to post to defend his honor but it wouldn't let me unless I created an account. I got addicted, this is the only MB I belong too...

A friend showed it to me the first couple weeks into my first year at university

I was doing fine until I started lurking, then posting, my grades were on a steady decline from then out

However I have no regrets

anyone remember "skateboardrumors.com?"

I'm pretty sure I got the link to Slap off their message board years ago.

I was looking for ramp plans and then I stumbled into the forums.

CeeyMar · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2009, 02:59:47 PM »

Lurked for a bit then signed up because it was the only place I could actually talk to people who skated who actually care about skateboarding.

beardface · « **Reply #16 on:** January 29, 2009, 03:03:01 PM »

a friend of mine pointed me towards this forum after the local sk8skates forum got bricked. its been many years and i haven't looked back. i miss mnctech.

sweatloaf · « **Reply #17 on:** January 29, 2009, 03:17:37 PM »

Working various jobs on computers. SLAP was the one message board where people were really knowledgable about skating and it was always pretty active. I work in a call center now. I'm bored.

Numeral · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2009, 03:31:11 PM »

i was unpacking boxes with old skate magazines after moving, the first one on one of the boxes was the slap with the chief on the cover (may '99) so i decided to check the site and signed up for the mb.

Claude Tanner · « **Reply #19 on:** January 29, 2009, 04:14:02 PM »

Started posting like 6 years ago, I can't remember though I think through lurking delphi I somehow ended up here.

No wait I was dating HalfCabGirl at the time. She got me into it

nocomply · « **Reply #20 on:** January 29, 2009, 04:24:20 PM »

Boredom at work. I used to lurk here and I would get so fucking annoyed at those ELITEST ASSHOLES at Slap....but like a train wreck I couldn't look away. Now I've spent 18days, 14 hours and 34 minutes of my life at this place. I should probably be docked that amount of time from my pay to make up for it since I'm on here during work hours 99% of the time.

vegan*shawn · « **Reply #21 on:** January 29, 2009, 04:35:26 PM »

I needed a place to live and my friend Richard needed someone to sub let his room for a summer while he went to Europe, one of the room mates was John Trippe who was the original web master, he told me about it while he was working, I have been on here ever since. That was way back when 2000 or 2001.

I had taken to online rap battling and came across one of beans's posts when I googled "multi" and I've just been addicted to it ever since.

grimcity · « **Reply #24 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:40:18 PM »

I was an admin at Thrasher, rescripted a couple of lines of code, and post whored there, but lurked here a little but my best friend really got me hooked on it with "check out the ______ thread, shit's great" comments. I got addicted, waited until I felt that I knew the forums, then immediately got into a flame war with "Wise Penguin" who I demolished with the power of Photoshop and self effacing humor. Kicked his ass. He started it though.

Lurked here for a while without an account because you could find out shit here way before anywhere else, then they locked me out without having an account. As soon as I had to be logged in I would post. I used to want to post something from time to time, but signing up seemed like a hassle.

I read the transcripts in the mags and got a few laughs and checked it out. Lurked for a long time just reading rumors and getting a few laughs. Then, recently decided to jump in and join in on the fun.

The local Toronto message board started censoring any link to Slap. Since then, I've been here full time. I also work evenings and weekends.
