A brief history:

 

So it all started 10 years ago on March 1st 2004. I had been lurking 12oz for a few months but never really posted anything because there wasn't a thread for my city in Brickslayers. About a week after my city's thread was made, I decided to register and make my first post:

 

Post #172 on page 7:

This is what my first post said:

In case you don't want to click the links, this was my first post:

 

lol....this is makin sac look bad!....any more fliX?

 

 

 

 

Yeah...the post was in regards to all the drama and shit talking. The drama and shit talking were literally ruining what I was there to do in the first place...peep some flicks!

 

Well that was a common theme and about 2 and a half years and about 470 pages later, the thread was closed.

 

During the first few months of being on 12oz, I frequented Brickslayers and Metal Heads a lot, and then I found Channel Zero and was hooked. I lost my CALIgula screen name in the 2006 12oz meltdown and was posting as CALIgula 2.0 and after a few months of that I was able to get a hold of Raven and combine CALIgula 2.0 with my original screenname, CALIgula. I had chosen the name CALIgula because I had just seen a documentary about an old porn movie about a Roman emperor named CALIgula and it had the word "cali" in it. I capitalized "CALI" to rep my state and kept the gula lower case. Turns out the real Roman emperor caligula and I even share the same birthday (even though I didn't find out about this till a few years later), so the name just stuck.

 

When I first started posting on Channel Zero, people thought I was a girl....like CALI"gurl"a...and I was like naw y'all relax....im a dude...haha.

 

Well, I liked channel zero immediately, and started checking 12oz more and more each day. The first thing most people would do back then is get online and immediately check their myspace or sign in to their email. The first thing I would do is log into 12oz....and so the post count grew. I would find every excuse to procrastinate from doing homework and so I would just spend hours on 12oz. After a while I decided to contribute and thats when I made threads like:

 

The land of cheese, chocolates, bank accounts and army knives... (documenting my trip to Switzerland)

 

CALIgula's FOLSOM PRISON (museum) TOUR (documenting my trip to folsom prison)

 

weird, strange and crazy STATUES.. (a thread about weird statues)

 

The fast food award thread.. (a thread thats still popular to this day!)

 

 

Well, during the past 10 years, I have met a bunch of really cool people off of 12oz. And have chatted with even more cool people through 12oz.

 

Even though I have met a few assholes too (some to the point where I wanted to catch a plane to another counrty to stab them in the neck), the cool people outnumber the assholes.

 

There are still a bunch of people here that I would love to one day meet and chill with.

 

 

So on that note, I just wanted to say thank you 12oz for an amazing 10 years. Hopefully, you will be around for many many more years so that I can procrastinate even more...lol jk jk.

 

:huh:
