    if you wanna read some old and funny stuff, go back and find some of Apex and Leon's firt 5 or 10 posts on the forums. you'll get a nice picture of what this place was like when it started. i'm too lazy to get the links, but you're a big boy, you can do it yourself.
    respect beer.

    Hey Hockey Mutt,

    Sorry for all the good-natured ribbing, just kind of the nature of the board...

    I think apex started around end of 1999 start of 2000...
    I've been around since Feb 2000, but didn't really post much until last year. Basically I heard about this site from a friend who told me you could get good deals here. Back in the dot.com boom days, companies would bend over backwards to give you free stuff to generate traffic to their websites, and people would get all kinds of free T-shirs, coffee mugs, mouse pads, and 27" TVs (in one of the more famous deals). Heck, I (and many of the other old timers) knew their UPS guy by first name.

    Since the economy went to crap, the deals aren't nearly as good here but we've all hung around in these boards cuz its a cool place to hang out.

    So to sum up the history to the best of my knowledge...

    1999/2000 Got|Apex? is launched (France surrenders)
    2000 - Deals galore, free stuff everywhere
    2001 - learns to drive, Economy crumbles (coincidence?)
    Summer/Fall 2001 - Penny and Twilight get banned
    2002 - Nano gets a girlfriend, France surrenders yet again...

    And that's basically it!

    You forgot about the other great deal, that you can still get in on....

    WWII memorabelia.... French Rifles, never been fired, only been dropped once.
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.

    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.
