Happy 2020 and remember 1996

Postby reisen55 » Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:15 pm

When the only image up on the web was from THE MIND IS THE KEY by old Kaol. Back then we also had the brillilant DER MUD GECKO and some PETE BOGGS cartoons. We've come a long way.

Wishing everyone a nice 2020 with lots of happy sinking time!

1996? That was a couple years pre-Internet for me and i thought i was the only one with this type of obsession ;)

I'm already chindeep in this mudbog and every desperate attempt to move my stuck legs only drives me deeper in. The thick mud slowly swamps my waders and my arms have nothing to hold onto.
I'm feeling home.

I think I first got online around '97 or '98. Kaol's Old Sinking Hole was the first site I ran into.

This year is my 20th quicksand-awareness anniversary. I hear you about Kaol's site. I found that while messing around after hours at work but the room wasn't truly empty...

I muted that sucker faster than the sinking of the Princess Bride.

The music wasn't an issue but I still lived at home then. When the dialog played I was in the middle of my family's living room using the shared computer and my mom was 10 feet away in the kitchen!! I bought my first "Personal" PC not long after, believe you me.

It was awesome. In fact, after becoming thoroughly familiar with the quicksand, I used the site for background music. He had midi files on many of the pages.
