    Ok so what in your life has changed since you joined Boards?

    I had my house, was married and had our first child before I signed up but since coming on here 3 years ago I've been made redundant, gotten a new job and had baby number 2. Made some good mates on here gotten more involved in my "hobbie", filmed a pilot for tv and am organising a big convention for this year .... life is good.

    So whats changed in your life?

    I only joined a few weeks ago.

    Nothing much has changed. My hair might be tiny bit longer. I must get that cut this week. I'll update you on how that goes. :p

    Maybe you could request a new forum for this project?

    Since I joined here...

    I started college, dropped out, worked in a crappy call center and then/now a better job with several girlfriends in there somewhere. Oh yeah, and the people on the instruments forum did nothing for my spending habits, I've bought a lot of music gear in the last couple of years. Most of it last year. :eek:

    I've also grown a beard (almost 6 months now!) and I'm now trying to get a beard forum (PLUG PLUG PLUG SHOW SUPPORT - check sig ;) ).

    a lot actually! for me anyway. i've been on here for two years and since i joined ive moved back to NZ, started my degree, nearly dropped out (thank christ i didnt in hindsight 'cause i love it now), did a lot of things to do with my course that i had never done before, had a lot of personal growth (cheeeeesy but true), seen the most plays/musicals/opera/ballet than i had ever seen in my whole life (thanks to the best job evah)...so it's been two years of sh!t but it's also been amazing (hows that for schizophrenic) so im glad i went through it! in a warped kind of way.
