    Hey, been a member here since 2001..before the 'pre-CNN' days for those who get that. Been away for some years due to this and that but am glad to be back on a more permanent basis. I'm just curious to see if there are any old-timers still here..I have lots of member names I remember: 'Venom', 'Rotsaruch', 'Davo', 'Beer Angel', 'Proc'...more if I really put my mind to it. If you remember those days lemme hear a shout out here, Prost!

    I'm relatively new here but it's always good to see old heads coming back. Welcome back.

    Been here since half past 2003 myself. I remember the names you mentioned, but haven't seen or heard from them in a long time.

    Rich is still holding down a barstool at Victory, to the best of my knowledge.

    This August I'll hit 10 years on BA. I was a lurker for the longest time before creating an account.

    Didn't Venom get banned from BA? Or did he ban himself from using it again? I can't remember the details, but I think he got into too many arguments and the bros told him to chill.

    Eleven years and now you begin trolling? (I kid, I kid)

    Loren is doing fine and the boys are getting big...the midget, unfortunately, is not getting any bigger and Darren is still holding things down and writing beer/cigar reviews in the Motor City.

    I am still here, alive and kicking, since Sept. 2002. I remember most of the names you mention. Venom and Davo are gone, and quite a few others from that era, but many of us are still here.

    Welcome back and cheers!

    I have been lurking long enough to remember when Storm King was a top 5 beer.

    man I remember bringing Bass Ale to a buddy's house and people saying it was too 'rich' and 'heavy', and laughing and saying 'wtf'??? Now they treat and drink it as if it were Bud/Miller/Coors!
