Do you remember the day you found Foolmoon, how did you find this great site? What about the first person you spoke to, are they still here?

I found Foolmoon by accident, and the first person I spoke to was Discord and I think Penguinman. Everything just seemed perfect for me to return. And yes these people are still here.

And while Im here, I'd just like to say its a pleasure knowing you all.

The day I found Foolmoon....hmmm,

I was wondering the net, just looking around. Never had been on the net before, just got my computer in October & I was only logging on the net to check e-mail.....lol

I found the message boards first, so I put my Hiya & Howdy up in the new users area.
I then checked out the chat rooms, & the first person I talked to was Darkwood. I have no idea if they still chat, I haven't seen the name since that first time. The next day I came in, and everyone was so friendly..very welcoming. I talked to katijade (who no longer chats here to the best of my knowledge), Discord, and I believe you Tassle, we discussed the origin of your name if I'm not mistaken Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for making it a place where I felt accepted.

Oooooooh boy! Ready for some reminiscing?
I found FM through icq. Jade (one of the former moderators) contacted me and asked me to come in. I had left another site after hosting there for 3 years because of burnout. I ran 2 chats and a message board in an extremely busy place. But, I was kind of missing it after a while. So when Jade contacted me, I decided to check it out. There weren't many online back in March 1999. FM was still fairly new and had about seven rooms. I think the only "original" room left today is the Funhouse. We had one game of trivia every night...at 6:00EST. Xena had Mondays, Floyd (Trig's niece) had Tuesdays (that's the spot I took over), then Kismet at 8pm, Wed? I forget. Thurs. was Andre's night, and on Friday/Sat/Sun. Trig took over. We also had Athena's "Angels" come in. Faith will remember that. At most, we would have about 6 or 7 chatters in for our games. Things sure have picked up now!
And that's what it was like in history.....ta da da da! LOL

I have heard about forums before I found FoolMoon, but I have never seen what was that. One fine day, when I had to stay in the office for a long time, I tried to search for forum sites & found a lot of them, but FoolMoon was & is the only one that I liked. I really like being here (not so frequently though) & reading discussions. I was surprised about how friendly this place is
I haven't talked to somebody here - I don't visit the chat. However I write posts from time to time. And the first post was to say "Hi".

I was invited to FM; met wonderful people like Borobabe, Man-U, Gem, Katie, Pickle a few other (who are not here anymore). I still keep in contact with some of them.

I was away for a period of time due to some misunderstanding with another chatter but then I've learned to not take things too hard from a person who obviously don't know me too well. Glad I came back cause I've met a great pal (fries you know who you are xxx) and many more great friends

Message board is a great place to share your thoughts and just be silly Guess I will be around you guys are stuck with me

As u all know I have a good memory, so yep I still remember lol
It was during summer holidays, I was home alone & bored... since we recently switched to cable (at the time), I decided to surf the net & look for a chat site. Had no idea wha that exactly meant & didn't know how to get there either. So I typed in .www.chat.com which is a cnet-site, with a list of lots of chat rooms, sorted by rating. Since foolmoon was one of those on the top the list, it was the first one I ever visited. And I'm very happy it was, not so sure it'd still b chatting if it had been one of those sites where every1 curse & looks for bf&gfs lol
First person I ever spoke to was peter16m, think he's still on but mainly on weekends, times I'm not on I guess... never realized that it could actually b hard to keep up, 'cos at the time there were only 2 or 3 ppl on, never even told them it was my first time chatting, tho I guess they could've guessed that lol
I was addicted from the first minute... and my parents noticed it too... after a week my mom forbade me to still chat. According to her it's the most terrible thing ever invented But hey, I'm still on.. in secret!

Applause to those that read the stroy to the very end!

P.S. I'm not so sure I was allowed to type that url in (commercial site). If I wasn't, I'm sorry helice, u can take it out.

oh my yes i remember the first day I found FoolMoon.... the very first person i talked to was a guest ... they went by moon_guest ... i still to this day am not sure who this chatter was that day they were the only one in the room ... back then there was folks on but not many during the day (which is when i would come in) .. but the second day i came on i met up with some cool folks ... Frog (who I never see anymore I miss him so much ) chevy who yes i still see and is one of my greastest friends still .. Gilly ( of which who, i do wish i hadnt met lol .. those that know him know what im talking about, but i cant completely hate him cause at first he was friendly and made me want to come back to fm) after a few times coming in I met Trig and poppy , merlin and kanga, argonaut , and so many of the others ... I fell in love with foolmoon and over time have made some really wonderful friends .. ( you KNOW who u are !!!)
The first few days on here tells it for us i think ... we all will have our own memories of it.. those days are important .. they decide whether we stay and make this place our home or not ... Im ever so glad i made FM my home .. i dont regret it and it will always be home to me .

Thanx to everyone that made me feel welcome . I will never forget their kindness to this old suthern gal !

I remember......i was looking for a nice chat since the one I used to go shutted down....finding a good chat is difficult...i must admit i didn't look for long time....that was lucky !!
And da first ppl i met was you tass, laura and nil....and u guys r still there

{{hugs}} Laura

It was in October of 2001 that I found fool moon. First person I met was hiway and xtreme. They were so friendly, that I couldn't believe that after talking to these two ppl I wanted to come back the next day and talk some more. I also met Laura and Chevy who welcomed me with open arms. I have met many ppl in fool moon who I consider my best friends. I have had my ups and downs in fool moon but in all I think this is a terrific site.
roseruth

Yes i do remember my first day in fool moon and how i found it, since it wasnt that long ago now, 6 months. i mostly just used my computer to work on and that was it, my friends however went into chat rooms and said i should do the same its great.

Of course me being me never straight away, then i decided one day ill look for a chat site, did a search on the net, went into a few they were crap, found fool moon and hey, what you know im still here (is that a good thing for everyone else or not, im not sure lol).

I am very glad to have found fool moon it is the best chat site on the net and i am totally addicted now, which is not very good when i need to get some work done foflmao, (oh well).

I have met many great people on fool moon and i thank all of the people at fool moon for being patient with me and chatting to me. THANKS ALL.


TARTANMAN

I found it by mistake.( This is a mistake I don't regret.)

len373g.

My first day at Foolmoon? Wow. I guess it's about a year ago now. How time flies. The then love of my life told me to have a look, so I did. The first person I spoke to was RedDie. I don't know if she is still chatting here or not. If she is, she has a different name now.

Then when I moved to university I moved my cyber home from a different site to Foolmoon, because I could get into Foolmoon and not the other one! lol. However, I am glad I came. I'd like to thank all my very good friends at Foolmoon, who all know who you are, for helping through a very tough time in my life, and I look forward to many more years of chatting with you all.

A toast! To Helice and dax for allowing us to use their site. And to you all, for making it such a wonderful place to visit, and chat away a few hours!

Being the cautious stuffed toy teddy bear that I am, I started showing up at Foolmoon at Xena's invitation over two years ago ... long before the East Coast gathering that some FM people had. Of course, teddy bears are notoriously afraid of being ripped apart or having their stuffing hugged out of them, so I was very careful in those early months. Now I come here exclusively (no other chat sites for this bear) and have a fantastic time of it all. That's the bear's story. Anyone of you can ask Xena if it happened this way because it did! LOL.

Foolmoon was recommended to me by a friend...I have only been here a few months and in forum about a month. Love every minute of it..in fact if I dont take some time out, I will have to increase my server hours First people I met...hmmmm..Roseruth, Kreg,Y and Jammies....and last but by no means least...Tigs. I guess with being a late night chatter...the other side of the world is just waking up, but love it here...and plan to stay...if you'll have me
To the creators of Foolmoon Thankyou.

Oh Tassle,,, my neighbour across the Tasman, forgot to add your name to my *who I met in here list* Love your Monday night sessions.

"unfortunately the chatters I spoke to before are mostly not here anymore"

Really Lil' Sis?

As if I'd stop keeping an eye you!

I don't remember the exact first time I came to Foolmoon. About 2 years ago roughly...I used to be called Man-U then, but for some reason or other, I can't get logged in now under that name...anyway
I remember Double X (still keep in touch...sort of), Trig & Poppy, Woody, Jade, Machiavelli (AKA Maka - still in touch and will be meeting him shortly!), Kismet, Dax, Helice, Reptile, Merlin, Kanga, Trekker, Skye, SCG, Grams, Ray, Matt, Andre, Argo, MRLOMAS, Mystic, Jo-Jo, etc..etc.
My wife (aka Borobabe) told me about FoolMoon..she'd become a member before me and I got tired of her laughing all the time and interrupting my viewing of the football (soccer) so I came to see what all the fuss was about...
I was made welcome from the start and really fell head over heels about the place. I eventually became a host and used to hold a quiz and help out Poppy in Jesus Talk (when anyone used to bother to turn up, lol) and that's when the fun stopped for me....you became too aware of bozo's messing around and having to step in and stop them spoiling the fun of others. It became a chore rather than a joy to be here, which is a shame because as Laura said you do make some great friends on here and I've never been in a chat room like FoolMoon. I haven't been in here for a long, long time and there are times I do miss the place or rather the people.
There seems to be several changes in the place...it's not as crowded as it used to be but the boards seem to be as busy as they always were I wonder if Hureea will beat Maka's total for replies on his "men-v-women" thread?
It's nice to see the place again and you never know, you may get to see me a bit more...

All the best to you all
Davey

I was just surfing the net and found foolmoon .I have a terible meomary and spell real bad lmao I think it has somthing to do with my age 102 lol.But found this to be a really great place and have met a lot of great friends here .And hope to some day meet some off them in person.blonde babe and neecie are allways telling me that they will give me a hair cut and one of these days i would love to take them up on this.And kreg i have to vist the french connection lol.the also will no FBI agent of france lol.and tigs and papa walton have really help me a lot whith the puter problems and neecie poo to.I am meeting and geting so manny new friends here all the time i can not list them all. and feel like i really have some great friends here to talk to when i have personal problems.bye for now i could go on all day lol

anyways, i have been a regular ever since and i enjoy chatting with all you people very much

MY dear pal TASS

Reminiscing! Yeah, no kidding!

I don't know how long FM was around when I first got my computer in May of 1997. (less than a year, I think) I started getting adventurous in June of that year, looking around for a "nice" chat site. I wasn't interested in the meat markets that are out there, but being new to the internet, I was a bit "green" as far as terms, etc went.
SO, I go to a search engine and type "adult chat". I have a ton of kids, so was not interested in talking to teens......thus my theory of typing adult. WELL SIR! Did I get an eyeful...and then some! ROFL
I have to laugh at myself when I think of it now.

At any rate...all that was here I think was the Funhouse. The first night I landed here, I knew NO chat terms, no LOL, no nuthin'.
Poppy, Trig, Jester, and another guy who was a moderator at the time were here. I had a blast...the rest is history. My family still remembers that summer as the one where they "lost" me. lol
My oldest girl still makes a joke about it.....she will come over to my computer chair (if it's empty) and feel around all over the chair, then holler "Oh My GOD, mom's missing, call 911!" hehe
I started working at FM after a few months and moderated a Kitchen, Parenting and Pets room. It was hard to do all by myself.....you can't be in 3 places at once. For some reason, the site wasn't very busy, but we did have fun. Eb, Mystic, Kismet, Jest, Poppy, Trig, as well as Helice and Dax will remain with me forever. They were the ones who introduced me to how a chat room "should" be. I don't work here anymore, but still pop in as often as "real life" allows.

First of all...Hi Man_U...do you remember me?

How did I find foolmoon?

I was chatting to another mum at the school gates and she told me about this great site...so that night I went on line to find it....and instead I found foolmoon...and I havent left since (just ask my hubby )

GOSH !!!
I cant remember my first time at Foolmoon .
It has been years , I was one of the first memebers here
A friend told me about it .
I came in and was welcomed with open arms .
In those days there were very few of us .
We did trivia with Poppy, Triglav, Jester , AndreEZ and woody
Most of us were hosts at the time , we hung out in the funhouse .
Waiting for chatters to come in so we could greet them ,
I love foolmoon it has been good to me .
Lots of chatters have come and gone in the years , but a lot have
stayed to make it "Our Family"
we are still growing , but there is nothing like Foolmoon on the net
as far as clean and friendly chat goes

"First of all...Hi Man_U...do you remember me?"

Of course I remember you Maddy...(my therapist says I have to confront my demons to overcome them )

I keep checking in the rooms & the boards when I can catch you but usually either the time's not right or someone else is on the 'puter! Maybe it's time to put my threat of a password into action.

Don't go anywhere...I'll catch you eventually

Love
Davey

Hey!!!!!! BRO!!!!!

I'm always very happy to see you pop in once in a while Heehee me know you still keep an eye on me once in a while

ppssssttt ..... don't tell anyone we (me and Chevy of course) are planning a visit

Okay where was I? Oh yeah! I really hope to catch you in chat or see more of you in here. You know where to email me so don't be a stranger

Luv & {{huggles}}
Laura

yeah amazingly enough i do remember why and how i first started to come to fm tass....a very close friend of mine (haleyj) wanted to get some of a few of the other chatters that we were close with from another chat site together again and found foolmoon and she e mailed the site to several other people (mcqueen was an old bud if anyone can remember him.) anyway so i decided to try the site....and first time i came on i was under Tigs_guest which who out of all the people i see is haileyj and xena....and xena makes the comment that "if i was smart id actually go and register to become a fulltime member" so that i did and now here i am 9 months abouts later. everyone here on fm has made me feel welcomed despite the hell i probably caused and all the annoyances i may be to all....specially with the goo goo dolls which has ever so annoyed people. but specially roseruth,bebe,jammies,xena,scg,carmy,katiajde,y-not, and kitten27.
there are lots more id love to name but than the list would just be continious and ever so long but none the less tnx to everyone.

Tigs: aw, we all love you too mother

Well.. lets see.. I do remember the first time I got here.. It was the middle of the night and i was really bored, so I was looking for a chatroom like one that I used to go to a long time ago, with the Ichat plugin. Well anyways, I came in at a bad time cuz NOONE AT ALL was online.. so i was like... dang.. and I was about to just forget about this place, but I came back the next day and there were a ton of people on, I dont all remember who. I was too afraid to announce that I was new cuz i thought I'd be messed with, so I just stayed on the D-Low.. (lol) and then I made my first friend, Frostytheunmeltable, and after that day back in the beginning of July, I've been in foolmoon almost everyday since, and have made tons of friends that make life bearable. I dont want to list any because Im in a hurry and I know i'll leave someone out, so you all know who you are. I love yall

Hi

Dear Kathy

After I've been telling you I'm the same old Laura you met, now only you realise (BOP)

LOL! Well, glad you remember now I'm still talking to the U-Clan which are Man-U, Borobabe, Gem & Katie They are all well & looking forward to Christmas. They are also still in touch with Makaveli but I don't see him online as much nowadays.

I still remember we were in training together LOL! and I was still in Malaysia but now freezing my butt off in Belgium I don't go in chat too much now but still pop in here to check meg almost daily. Not been feeling too well lately so you don't see me much in here too.

Take care and keep warm!

{{huggles}} Laura

i can't exactly remember wot day it was when i came across fm. It was about 1day and 1/2 ago. i was refered to fm by my friends Knockie and Claireb. The first person that i talked too was Death-wish. I finaly got used to fm really quickly. I think that it is the best chat room eva!! U can meet some really cool ppl!!


*Remember Life is one Long Cat Walk!!*

I remember the day I found Foolmoon. I was searching in Jeeves, looking for a family chat site and came upon Foolmoon. It was the best site that I had seen and I decided to take a chance and sign up. I consequently met alot of neat people and found that this was the place to go to have a good time without worrying on whether someone was going to blast me for something or other. I loved this site so much that I decided to ask about being a host and found that Triglav was in need of hosts. I signed up and the rest is history. I love this site and I am not afraid to have my children come in here to chat because I know that they will always be protected from the harness of the world.
Helice, Dax - You guys did an awesome job and I want to extend my thanks to you for such a fine job. This is a wonderful place to go to unwind and meet awesome people. My hats off to you both for this site.

Huggles,

First i wanna apologize in advance cuz even tho i PLAN to create the readers digest version of my story... you know me and i know me and i always ALWAYS have more to say then i plan. LOL shoosh...HEY i can hear the snickers and i know who ALL of you are. ha ha ha

Hmmm....i remember my first visit to FM...way back inda olden days. The web side of the site that i had been hosting at had just been bought by !E and they had shut down our chat rooms so as not to compete with the one they had. We were offered jobs on their ahem sister "well known, but have to pay monthly, get a disk inda mail once a week offering 7 million free hours, but wants yer credit card number first" side of our former site but none of us went. We had a unofficial message board where we all gathered and posted potential new chat places.

We were used to a place that offered a safe, fun close knit type i chat format moderated with hosts. We were used to special live web events and trivia games scheduled. We weren't finding it and MISERABUBBULE!!! Then someone posted the url to FM on the message board and said if THIS place doesn't suit we may as well give it up. So being the adventuress of our group i dragged one of my buddies here with me to FM. The only person in the whole chat at that time was Xena but she ROCKED. We told her that there were a bunch of us looking for a new home and what we were looking for and she made us feel so welcome and comfortable. I think i talked to her for like 2 hours. She was the kind of people we were looking for and therefore we KNEW FM was the kind of place we wanted to make our home. We went to our unofficial board and told all our friends that THIS was the place to go. This was at least more then 3 years ago. FM was so young then. I really only remember enjoying the great talks in Town Meeting and the Trivia games, which were mostly filled with all the hosts and we would get extra points during the break if we clicked on the ads. I don't remember if the other rooms were here then or not to be honest. ha ha ha but it was a riot. One of the Moderaters at that time even actually offered to make a room just for the refugees of our old chat tho it wasn't necessary since we were welcomed so warmly in the other rooms. It doesn't get any better then that. ANYWHERE on the net or irl.

I came in a lot for a while but because the type of work i did was so busy in the summer times i ended up with basically no time to come on line and kinda drifted out of chatting all together after about 6 months. Maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks at most i got on but by the time i got done catching up with friends and emails i'd have time for maybe one place and since i thought FM was empty at the late hours i was able to stay on i sat with a friend at this other loser place. I always kept in random contact with Xena and a couple friends who came to FM and about a year ago Xena did everything but tap dance in her bikini through central park to get me to make some time to come and see her while she worked. LMAO Since i have never been able to say NO to xena i kept trying to come in to chat.

I think i had about half a dozen versions of my name registered cuz i never could remember my password or which email i used and by the time i made it in i was exhausted and in a bad mood. I remember begging one moderator to just put me out of my misery and reset my name. ha ha ha He kept saying "email admin" and i kept saying but can't you just TELL them for me? LMAO cuz i was still thinking it was the same FM i'd left...where you could just ask Dax when you saw him at Trivia. BOY had things changed since i had been a reg before. There were people EVERYWHERE....tons and tons of people had discovered FM. In the while i'd been gone FM had grown so popular with users that it was kind of mind boggling. I felt a little lost and only recognized maybe half a dozen people from before but omg most of the older hosts actually remembered me. That is how awesome this place is. (and if they didn't really remember me they sure went out of their way to convince me that they did )

Helice and Dax...you guys have created the best site on the net. In the time since i first came to FM i have seen 4 major chat sites...and i'm gonna name names here...i'm talkin' corporate backed places like WB(Warner Bros.) Chat...!E Entertainment chat....The Entertainment Asylum (my old home) and one i wouldn't mention if they offered to have Mel Gibson message my feet while i did it....These chat rooms were all shut down... for various reasons. Mostly because they were always hacked and crashed so much that it just wasn't worth their time to make it better and safer. You should know how yer idea for creating a haven for safe, fun, intelligent conversation and posting multiplied and grew while those supposed "big guys" went down in flames. I don't think a week goes by that i don't see a change or new idea on the boards or in chat, Helice. Yer like a chef in a kitchen, always creating a delicious meal but still trying new spices or ingredients to enhance and make yer entree that much better. I mean that. And i know for a fact that yer staff is dedicated to you and the goals you want to achieve here. I wouldn't ever make anywhere else my home on the net. Of course i visit other places and surf the net to see what's out there. LOL...when i do, it just reminds me how lucky we are to have Foolmoon.

After 3 (3 1/2?) years i still see over a dozen of us from that long ago hunt for a home HERE at FM...Neecie, Poett, Flickguy, Fyrcrackr, Belgarion, Starbug, Gaspump, Warhead, Pony, Sherry, TheOmen, Minda, Jackk, Adam....Some WAY more then others...some once in a blue moon. But we all know where to go if we want to find each other. I will never forget how it felt to be welcomed so warmly by Xena my first visit to FM. And i never forget to offer that same welcome to as many new visitors as i meet. Because THAT, to me, is what people seem to search endlessly to find. FM is here for everyone...the outgoing popular and smart people and the lonely people who are either afraid or feel like misfits irl. FM gives us all friendship and a safe place to come and feel special. Thanks Helice.

I remember it like it was yesterday. OK, it WAS yesterday.

Fell into the CoffeeHouse chatroom on a general websurfing session. Lady Host and the others not only welcomed me into the chat room, but encouraged me to say something. Just the opposite of most places, where 'lurk 'til you know the rules' is the best advice given.

And in 24 hours I have found everything from friendly banter to deep philosophical conversations. And NO ONE has asked me if I'm single or for my measurements. LOL!

I think I'm going to stick around a while.

---Mahala

Cool Mahala Welcome to the Fam

Most of us (regulars) don't bother about your 'measurements' (nice eh!) and just wanna chat without silly asl questions or are you this or that question.....

The day I found foolmoon, I was trying to go on chat sites at school, but it was VERY limited due to security. I stumbled across Foolmoon, and the first person I taled to was Prep. Not a nice guy. But suprisingly I came back the netx day and talked to my 1st new best friend with the name Bewareofmyfiercebeard. I don't know id he still comes on or not. I sure hope he does! Then I started chatting with all you wonderful people, and ended up as a host and adopted by 2 wonderful women named Blizzard, and Outback! Hey mommies! I will ALWAYS stay true to foolmoon, the only chat site I go to!

The day i found fool moon,
was the end of may . I was just thinking i would try out chatting and typed chat rooms, and after looking over the lists i came upon fm. And decided to give it a try. And to this day fool moon is the only chat site i have been on. And dont even feel the need to look elsewhere.
the first person i talked with was oneye, and merry heart. merry made me feel so welcome and today is one of the nicest people here.
i just love my fool moon family !

I found FM while searching for new forums to read. Although I usually don't have much to say, I like to see what other peoples opinions are on various topics.
When I checked out the chat rooms, I was welcomed, offered help (because I couldn't figure out how to use it at first, and still don't know much about it), and found everyone to be very nice and have yet to see anything negative come across the screen.
So when I get time to sit down at the computer, I find myself coming here now.

Glad you came through the door and stayed budk, always nice to see a new face, and even better to see them stick around. A warm Welcome to you.

The first time I came to Fool Moon, I was just looking for a new place to chat, and I liked the I-chat format. The first person I chatted with was the irresistable KRAZYBLINKGRRL182 who promptly adopted me. We've been talking about meaningless drivel ever since.

Hehe....that would be today...never even heard of Foolmoon before. Basically, I just got sick of the people in Yahoo talking about nothing but sex, and I did a search on WebFerret for 'free chat'. So now I am here and I've been browzing for about an hour, more or less....and though I haven't spoken with anyone yet, I'm looking forward to getting to know some, from the looks of it, pretty amazing people!

Welcome to Fool's Moon sweetmustang

Hope you'll like it here & look forward to reading your post & chatting with ya

Hey chino!!! Glad you finally made it to the forums ! I see you have been busy already posting

oO( finally i see a pic of him after all this time !)

The day i found foolmoon hmm it was about 3 years ago and no-one was here (wrong time of the day i think) but for some reason i added to my favourites and kept checking in untill one bleary eyed morning i stubbled across a trivia with about 20 ppl (trig, poppy, kanga, merlin, maddy, laura, argo amongst others and have been hooked ever since and met some of the best ppl in thw world

foolmoon pretty much found me lol phalc was always talking about it so i finally decided to check it out, by am i ever glad i did great ppl, great fun and great atmosphere. the best (and now the only) chat room i've been to. the first ppl i saw would have been dax,whitelace,chaty,jester, gypsyprincess and of course scg yep my sweet princess was one of the first ppl i met and i'm so happy i did. i guess i should thank phalc one day lol cheers mate

One day out surfin the net i decided in my infinite wisdom that i wanted to visit a chat room. So after doing a fast search i found FM.
A few sconds later legionx-guest made his first appearance in chat!!

The first few folks i encountered were Blizz, Sadie, Cimba (if i forgetted any one please forgive me). Over the next week legionx-guest made several more appearances.

Finally i became a member and became a trivia junkie!! Thus leading to my future evolution to Fun House Host!!

I have met many great people here and made many many valueable friends that i would not trade for any thing!!

I found Fool Moon by accident while I was bludging at work (a little like now..) and spent about an hour or two reading heaps of posts. Even though I don't really post much I love reading everyone's opinions on all the different topics. I've learnt heaps!!

I found out about FM when due to unfornate cercumstances the FM chat site was down and the chat members had to find another place to chat at for a day. Kimmie and Xena wandered into the place i was chatting at. We met, chatted and quickly became friends. When the site was fixed i came here in curiousity of what FM was all about. Sure enough they werent exagerating about how wonder a place FM was so i decided to stay. And im sooooo glad i did. I found the only TRUE friends here i could ever want.

hmmmmm .......was about 3 yrs ago i was tara 29 then and i had just got my comp and was surfing found fm and they were having a quiz in the fun house loved it ....met some great ppl ...but as most things go for me i never can stick with one thing and started chatting else where as well .....but now im back and loving the new look ...was pleased to see that fm was still going strong as it would have to be one of the better chat sites i have been to

I joined the FM after viewing a thread Faithfulkisses started! I thought this is one mean little lady, it caught my interest, it brought out my curiosity.
I've read other threads she's created, and I've viewed her picture, I was hooked!
I began viewing other threads and now I am addicted to the Fool moon.
I have made many friends in such a short time. I enjoy FM it’s a great diversion from the worries of daily living.

I found foolmoon the day I got my computer--had been putting it off because I was afraid the kids would get hooked on that "chat mess", , and I had resisted getting one for that reason---well, now look what happened!

We couldn't figure out our chat thingy, and so no other site would work but this one, and (as y'all know), I've been hooked ever since....



Dixie

i really dunno anymore when i found fm or how i found it.
i just know one of the first people i spoke to was scg... (who else??lol)
and till this day she's is still a very special friend to me, and nothing will change that . in the mean time i made very much good friends here...
BUT!!!! be carefull cause sometimes chatting can have a influence on your future... i found my sweetest wifey here!!!!
thanks foolmoon.. you took care i found the love of my life!!!
chevy

I remember when i found foolmoon i believe it was 3 years ago. I found it through Jade when she had an angels group going and the angels group eventually faded away and i made many friends here Ray, peterj, xena, mystic, poppy, trig, dax, neecie. I"ve made a bunch of lasting friendships here. SOme I"m still in contact with some I'm not. Some are still here some are not. I was even on Jesus Talk staff for awhile then i took a break for real life and i remember thinking tonight man i haven't been to foolmoon in like forever and that was 3 hours ago and i still haven't left. It's nice to know that you always have friends that you can turn to

The day I found FoolMoon... ...Well, I didn't find it, but was steered to it by FFH. We were sitting at lunch one day in Spring of '02 and I was complaining about the Yahoo Tech chat rooms that I hung out in. I was peoed about all the foul language, chatters threatened by others and all the other crud that goes with those chat rooms. FFH told me about FM and I visited that night. Haven't strayed since. The first chatters in FM I think were Cimba, SCG, Tigs and a few others (I'm ancient, so if I forgot someone, have a heart!!)
What a site! Keep up the good work, Helice and staff!!
F150xlt

um...i was searching the net for a chatroom the other day for a family chat...and this is what i found!

I just found it. I was looking for fun and educational forums. I haven't talked with any one yet. I am new to this type of chat.

Hope to meet some cool people though.

I was beginning my spiritual quest (via the World Wide Wibe ) and somehow found FM using my favorite search Engine, Google. I was in the Entrance and found Lynda's post under "Current Threads." The title, which I cannot recall, caught my eye; I clicked on it and found that it was in the Interfaith forum. After reading it, I knew I'd found someone who could understand my spiritual standpoint/ standoff. Then I read a not-so-nice post (a judgmental reply to Lynda's first-ever post/ her beliefs) and jumped in to "defend" her (even though we all know that she's great at defending herself).

It's all be downhill ever since!

I can't believe I never responded to this post!

Last summer (2002) I got the sudden urge to find a good Interfaith message board. So, I used my WebFerret and typed in "Interfaith Message Boards". I didn't get many responses, but one on the top was Fool Moon. I would up on the Interfaith homepage. From there I got to the actual board. I remember meeting Jen25 right away and found a kindred soul in her. Everyone was so welcoming. So, this was mid-August. Then, in Nov., Helice e-mailed me and asked if I would like to be Interfaith's moderator. Of course by that time, I had found all the other forums and that and had gotten to know so many wonderful people and Fool Moon felt like a home, like family!

FuzzyLumpkins = mom....showed it to me cause she was looking for a place that was clean...not but 3 or 4 days after we got our computer. So far it's been cool since

It was very late one lonely night in May, 2003. I was at the end of a relationship and needed some distraction. Decided to search Jeeves for a CLEAN chat room, logged onto FM and the first person I talked to was........BONES!!!! And that wasn't enough to scare me away! Oh, no! His kindness and silliness were just what I needed to turn my *crying* into *LOL*!
This was my first chat room and I have not gone anywhere else. No need to; I found what I wanted right here! So, if any of you have a prob w/being stuck w/me, talk to BONES!!! lol
I have met so many fantastic people here. Even those of you who didn't know that you were helping me through a crisis, you have helped me, and I am grateful. BIGHUG TO ALL!!
Bones, thank you for making me feel comfortable and welcome, and for making me laugh. I'm always happy to bump into you in the chats. (Remember, guys, it's his fault you're all stuck w/me.)
Special thanx also to Ati for singing to me when I was blue, and for avoiding sappy love songs when I asked him to.
And to the one who told me that I joined on his/her bday, I won't forget to wish you a good one, Hon!
Well, I'm (almost) over Mr. Wrong by now, but I still need all of you! FM is in my blood! I'm a certified FM junkie!
Luv and BIGHUG to all,
Nightowl

i was in a similar situation when i first came here. the day i found foolmoon my boyfriend had just broken up with me, and i, like you, wanted some people to talk to and to take my mind off of it. it was a long road, but eventually it happened. that was almost a year ago and im still here, and because of foolmoon i am happier today than i have been in a very long time.

Well I have no excuse not to recall the first time I found Fool Moon as it was only three days back!
I was surfing trying to locate some new mIRC scripts when I came across a site which listed a whole section of chat links - and Fool Moon Forums was tucked away in there. I liked the quirky name so gave it a go and liked what I found.
So far I have only found empty chatrooms but that probably has more to do with me being in a different timezone to most of the arranged debates/meetings.
Anyway, I find the message boards pretty interesting and am slowly making my way through the various posts there. I have found people very friendly and this has made me feel right at home early on. Who knows - one night when insomnia finds me - I might find myself chatting live with people too!

I found this place by accident too. I was searching for interfaith forums or places. And Fool Moon came up. The search only yielded maybe 30 hits. The forum here was the only active forum of the ones I checked out. Then, I saw *all* the forums and that there was chat here too! I've been here ever since!

Thanks nil - your post was a great help and I thank you for going to that trouble. I have made a memo of the various dates and should be able to get by for some of them! And thanks again to everyone for making me welcome

You're most welcome, Jaijai . I happen to be stuck with even one hour extra of difference with the US, so it didn't take much to sum up the chats you could join.

Well that sure sounds familiar DN!

I think I had been indireclty warned off by my sil's husband on hearing i was on the net "don't get mixed up in that chatroom stuff" or suchlike.

I did a search for christian chat, wanning 2 keep it clean ya know, h8ing the crudity of m s n. It came up with Jesus Talk, ironic I know, jk, mostly, ahem, stop digging!

Where was I?

Um, enjoyed but puzzled and bewildered by chat but got stuck in as it appealed to sum ridiculous part of me! If I remember rightly, oletimers like carmy, cimba and mazipan were on, not that they are at the mo sadly, miss em both. The teen crew, ironically kbg,dissy, dramgirl, sum1 called jasmine- what happen 2 her, tigs etc, nil I guess, kreg m8 of course! O yeah, CG, the violent lil blighter. Seawitch/aurora at some stage. When was this I hear u cry, strangely it was midspring 2002, odd as this was b4 kbg fort she started, so sum1 is rong der!!!

Eventually I discovered threads, in parallel to my beloved Oxford United ones on thisisoxfordshire. This seemed 2 b where I was at d time.

FM is a great place 2 hav fun and meet peeps, exchange, educate and b educated. I cannot imagine my life without it? O course u still get 2 meet nu peeps such as the incomparable DN, SD, SO, the big H's n Dax o course. Time 2 stop b4 I drop!

yep it must be you

My friend Smilier told me about Fool Moon. We live in different cities and she said that if I want to contact her, look for her here... so here I am! Haven't chatted anywhere yet, but I've perused the Paranoia Files, and I think I've found my new home! My husband is already noticing the changes in my internet activities...

Welcome to my home my sweet friend..LOL. You will love it here and by the way, don't let anyone know you know me. LMAO. Hope to see you in chat soon, and often. This is much better than the phone and the people here are all wonderful.

Welcome to Foolmoon Lynne. Like Smilier said, you will love it here. I promise .
If you have any questions or need any , there will always be someone about to lend you a hand.

I found this site because of my friend. She called me up and was like you have to go to this chatroom, it's great, and the people there are really great! That was sometime in 99/00. I don't even remember who the first person I talked to. And then I got over of being 11 and trying to be 28, and got un-interested in the site... I don't think I'll ever know why... So I took a break, and came back in 2003. I think it was like August. And I came back as Skoobychik. Before then, I would make a name, tell somebody a fake age, and then get embarrassed when they came into the chat again, so I'd make a new one. Or, I'd make a name, and would scroll, so I'd get Bozo-d. But, I'm glad to say, I'm over that stage. If somebody doesn't talk to me because of my age, well I think to bad for them, I have a lot of other people to talk to! Ok, I'm gonna leave it at that, before I get to sappy ....

Skoobie

Skoobie, I can only say, Im glad you got past the Bozo stage. Its nice getting to know you now. Terrific that you returned as Skoobie and still are Skoobie and not running about changing your name all the time. Good stuff!

I first found it when a clean chat room I had been with for years closed due to lack of funds. I used my Arts Browser and did a search for "clean free chat" and follmoon was one of several that came up. I visited some others, but they were too perverse for my taste. After being at a friendly chat room where everyone knows each other for years, you get kinda spoiled. So then I went to foolmoon, and felt at home right away! I don't think I will ever feel differently.

The day that I came to fool moon was memorable. My sister told me about the site. I wanted to surprise her. Boy did I surprise her, and she did me as well.

So to my Sis, thanx sis.

xoxo
The Dweeb

To tell u the truth i just became a member and i posted a quite controversial Forum and have been looked at and thought of in disgust ever since by most users.But know this the few who understand my problem have done a great deal to help me with my problem whichif u know what it is disturbs me as much as it may u... oh and tasselhoff u may think thinking about my fantasy is bad well at least i dont and wont act on it.

Jared, hey.

I know you may feel that you have been given a rough deal in advice here, but for many of us adults this is a very touchy subject. Unfortunately with posting in forums, it is hard to express exactly what we feel, and for others to expressly know what others feel.

Personally this is a topic that is hitting me hard, as I am currently going through a court case with someone who was attracted to younger children, and it isn't a good experience at all. I would hate to see someone like yourself, (even though you are still very young) head the same way. To actually recognise your feelings, is in my opinion, the first step to overcoming it.
Good luck with it all, and honestly, I feel counselling will be of a great benifit with someone totally neutral.

Anyway enough of that. Welcome to Foolmoon, and keep posting because, what ever you post its good for discussion.

Gheesh I found foolmoon 4 years ago... I was just lookin for a place to talk to people who we're slightly sane (somewhat accomplished.) The first people I talked to were Discord, SCG, and Gaia. I heart all 3 of those women. And they are all still here. I have made some GREAT friends on Foolmoon and I would never give any of you up.

I found foolmoon one night while doing a rather odd search on google. I really liked the message board and it gives me something to do at work while I'm bored out of my mind. The first people I talked to in chat were Sistersara and Peterj -- gotta love em both.

Blame it all on Rhetorical I was googlin' for some info, one of his posts came up, had what I was lookin' for, I reged shortly after.

Found Foolmoon about 5/6 years ago.

Got first computer, was curious to see if all the jazz about chat rooms was right.....typed in chat....the first site it bought up was Foolmoon.

Was wonderful site...did not even bother to look at any of the others.

Can remember a few names from back then......bloodmoon, sleepy, astro, tassle, outback, tigs, peterj, islander, hdbiker, mako, maka, lanklegs

Stopped coming for a little while there and when I came back the first person I met was Reallyniceguy....he said hi, it's been awhile since you were here.....and I was so embarrassed because I did not remember him.....but am so glad he remembered me. He made me feel right at home and helped me settle right back into FM...plus he really is a nice guy lol

Soon met all the new faces and have never left again. Have made some wonderful friends here. This truely is the best website around!

I certainly remember the day I discovered FoolMoon. I had just returned from a three day sailing trip off the coast of Maine and while net surfing on my PC after dinner that night, I accidentally logged onto the FM website...I believe I was looking for some current weather reports which might inform me as to which night that week would be a full moon, and I suppose I mis-typed fool for full. Anyway, as I perused the various threads, I stumbled onto this very forum, and began reading about the relationship and love history of a woman who called herself "dhottee".

Without really knowing (or caring) why, I took a chance and PM'd her, and much to my surprise and delight, she responded. Within weeks we met in person...well, actually, she drove up to Maine and her old beat up blue Mercedes stalled near my house and we...unfortunately, six months later, she met with a tragic untimely accident while swimming behind my boat. We often talked about what fun we had getting to know each other right here in FM, and I do miss her terribly.

I live in a very rough isolated area on the coast of Maine, and often I find myself alone at my computer reading posts here at FoolMoon and elsewhere, and wondering what kind of other people post here. Naturally, it makes me somewhat depressed when I think about dhottee, and then there's Melina, the other woman I met here, from the Ukraine...the artist...the late Melina, my dearly beloved and recently departed wife. I simply must stop meeting women like this....women who are around for a few weeks or months, and just when we start communicating, they disappear without a trace. Still, I keep coming back here...something draws me to this place like a moth to a flame.

I came in here back in '99. Right after my last misscarriage. This place is good medicine. I was LadyDizzyDE back then. Briefly was Ziggy also. But I'm back. I'm here to stay. You'll never get rid of me. Mwahaaahaaaa~!!!!

About two years ago I was doing a search on pure land Buddhism and hit a statement in the pagan thread. Being a pureland minister I offered an explination and a correction.

LadyPuma was my first.....contact and then Aroha on chat and SangyeDolma and sistersara. A little later Helice and I got into a discussion about Moon Dials and Summa Thelogica in Latin and I have been here since.

Tats

gosh i stumbled into fool moon about 6 years ago i was just a young buck then just getting out of high school. This place means so much to me some of my happiest moments r here with all my wonderful friends, i met the most wonderful man here and i love him very much considering the crap he puts me through but i would not changed it for the world. this is the best place in the world it like a swcond home and everyone here is a part of the family.

Like the Mansons

I never 'found' FoolMoon. Instead, while recovering from surgery and contemplating immortality, I went on-line to find some friends who'd given me some very happy times. I felt that, if I'd gained any good karma in my life, I wanted to share it with them, in thanks for the acceptance they'd given me. So, for $9.95 a pop, I found, among some other people, DAX! I wrote to him, through snail-mail, (and, Yeah, verily) he was my long-ago and far-away friend.

Dax invited me to FoolMoon. I'd never been to a chat site before--I never even knew they existed!

Since then, I've found new friends, am no longer contemplating mortality, have very little remaining karma to share, and have fallen asleep at my computer while reading forums.

Where do we all come from? And where have you all gone--you absent members? I've not met most of you.

It's not a crowd, it's a parade.

I had been conducting an extensive search for somewhere on the internet to find interesting conversations without the usual perversion (not that FM doesn't have it's own quirky version). I typed "Adult Chat" into my search engine and thought "whoa... definitely not what I'm looking for". So then I typed "intellectual forum" or something to that affect and after scrolling through pages of yuck, I found it. I've learned so much on this site and enjoyed every moment of it.

Good to know PiraticalAudacity. Glad to have you with us, and I hope you stick around and join in some of our debates.

On the subject of not getting what you wanted on an internet search, my frind and I went to see the film Triple X (starring Vin Deisel) a few years ago. When we got home afterwards, he decided he would try to download it. So he went to his favourite illegal site, went to the movies section, clicked the search but on and put in XXX.

You would not believe the hits he got...

Welcome to Foolmoon PiraticalAudacity, Wonderful people here. Join us in chat sometime.

hello all. my name is debbie and i'm new here. i came across fool moon by searching the web for finding inner peace. i have some issues in my marriage and just was looking for this info.

Inner peace, inner peace... Anyone seen the inner peace around here? I know we have some. I had some just last week.

We'll find it Deb, or we'll go take some from someone else

Welcome to Fool Moon.

"Inner peace" and "Fool Moon"? In the same sentence? Whoa! Did YOU take a wrong turn! I'd sue that search engine if I were you.

Hi Deb and welcome to Fool Moon. Don't pay any attention to Aint or Ray, they're just teasing you.
