naw, I remember some of my early scores and massive losses, I came in '98 and remember TITAN talked about still warmly like a mink coat in miami -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:40
i find it slightly crazy that we all were that into it, and that virtually none of us play anymore. - TFox Apr 5, 13:40 20
- I was really into during college, and when it went orange, I literally cold turkey-ed it in a week. -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 13:52
- I was still playing until they upped the number of shares. - Diva Apr 5, 13:48 3
  - too bad they didn't have an option: "e-mail Support to max all your shares" -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:50 2
    - if they really had that and I didn't know i'm going to start laughing. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:53 1
      - i wouldn't know; i haven't been back to check. - TFox Apr 5, 13:55
- If they hadn't changed the game basics around, I'd be playing still quite a lot - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:42 2
  - that plus the removal of comm free saturdays. I used to buy stocks in coded amounts, the last couple numbers would tell me which month to look at it - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:46 1
    - No codes needed for me. Buy max -- check to see if it's a loser or a winner. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:48
- well they oranged it all up - quite an easy decision and I played for 10 years - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:41 11
  - It was definitely the Orangening for me -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 14:11
  - i trickled off more than anything. but for years i cared *DEEPLY*. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:42 9
    - how many other things did we work on that hard for that long, and then just... drop? -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:44 8
      - I guess I didn't work as hard as some of you. Just got bored. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:50
      - nothing - I got nothing like that. I made peace with it though - I was always going to quit, they made me do it sooner than planned -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:48
      - my photog career -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:47
      - it is pretty insane. and that is was just massively widespread. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:45 3
        
        If they didn't change, I have little doubt I'd still be there. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:47 2
        
        yep. it would have been unlikely for me to completely leave behind something to which I'd given so much time/effort. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 14:12
        
        I really stopped playing full time by 2002 -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 14:09
      - SimSports for me. ... I played pretty religiously for 4 years there, and then, just didn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:45
Little bit, but I remember numbers to a degree that's scary in a lot of ways. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:39 3
- no, that's what i mean. like i am sure i didn't play it because i would remember. but it's one stock out of hundreds? thousands? i played over a - Andie Apr 5, 13:41 2
  - I'm a numbers geek so what it did was beyond the pale. Easy to remember. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:43
