My first internet forum in 2002 was a local forum that was set up for music fans around my town. It was surprisingly reasonably active for a few years but is long gone now. It was used mainly for organising local all-ages shows, buses to big concerts, musician networking and general random chat. Nobody really insulted each other or any of that stuff because most of us knew each other, and even if we didn't know each other we got to know each other which was kind of cool.

My first proper forum was Boards.ie which I first joined in 2003 and is Ireland's biggest forums site. I'm still an active member there although I'm on my second account.

I believe it was Dj Pi.net, and I think it was in 2006. It was pretty much dedicated to a guy who called himself DJ Pi and made Trance mixes for free download. I still listen to a lot of the songs I found because of his mixes. He kinda disappeared and no one knows where he went.



Shortly thereafter was Global Hardstyle. I also joined AdTunes in 2005, but I don't count it since I only went there to ask a question about one song.

MB is my first forum, but unlike Burning Down ^ , I resisted the temptation to lie about my age in order to join in.

i have all of PKD's sci-fi books, bar The Ganymede Takeover

"A Scanner Darkly" is a tad too depressing for me, and i enjoyed the movie more, actually

i do enjoy tremendously "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer", which is a treatise on Gnostic Christianity

Hmm... when I read ASD it struck me as an exploration into the psychosis that induces drug abuse. Either way, brilliant author and a fantastic read.

I think the only other PKD I`ve read was a rather disappointing yarn called "The Intergallactic Pot Melder", which I bought when I was about 17 simply because the cover looked nice.

^ Well, mr dave, that`s quite a fine chicken-and-egg distinction that you`re making and I`ll take your word for it as it`s many years since I read ASD. I`m glad to hear that you enjoyed the book too.
I think for me, the book`s most memorable section came at the end, when PKD suddenly starts writing about his friends irl; one minute the author is entertaining you and the next he`s saying, "But don`t you dare laugh."

Agreed, and please don't think I was being confrontational, it's more like I really like the fact that PKD's work tends to be so open to interpretation that it's very possible for two people to reach similar conclusions from opposing perspectives. Speaking of how he'd blur the line between fiction and his real life experiences have you read Valis?
