I can't remember exactly when I started going to wotmania. Avendesora Send a noteboard - 27/08/2014 06:52:50 PM

I remember that chat had a black background, and you could type in a user name and log in, no registration. There was a scheduled time (Wednesday evenings at 7:00 I think)to encourage chat participation.

I know that I moved in May of 1998. I started taking summer classes, then went back to school full time in fall of '98. Shortly after I started school, I went to the library (I didn't have a computer then) and looked up Wheel of Time on Google. I was directed to wotmania and was there ever since. I mostly just read the theory posts. Then my parents got a computer with dialup and I would go to chat on their computer. Aside: Napster was a big deal then. (Holy crap!)

I got married in '02, had a son in '05. He just turned 9 years old.

Oy, trip down memory lane.

*MySmiley*

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.
