=> Back when Chat Avenue was the go-to for young people just discovering a rapidly expanding internet, how to interact on it, and learning what the hell "blogging" was (I, myself, was 14 at the time) I did the same thing. I went through section after section, posting and reviving old threads about things that interested me, quoting a lot of the original posters. This both got me going post-wise, establishing myself, as well as reengaged old users. It was interesting to see how much their opinions changed over a year or so.
I was actually heavily criticized for doing that at the time, so I chose to do something different here.
