Weird as it seems, but I came across the word 'stu' somewhere and I got instantly reminded of this forum. FWS has somewhere on my bookmarks bar since forever, but I never really bothered about it (as with many other bookmarks).
So I clicked, and in a way I'm happy at how many things stayed the same. Okay, the template looks different now, but the list of forums still look the same to me, though sadly with less activity than before. And it seems that I've been a member of this forum for more than half my life.
I guess forums have largely yielded to social networks and all, and pretty much no one actually cares for free web hosting anymore (or is it just a change in perspective as a result of getting older and being able to pay for things?). There's Dropbox, Skydrive and Google Drive if you want to store documents, Blogger or WordPress if you want to blog about yourself (and even then, blogging seems to be a dying art), and newfangled things like Tumblr. I think in the past few years that I've been on the Internet I've rarely come across a website that's hosted on a free host. Perhaps this means I'll finally get to 'unlimited data transfer' and 'unlimited web space' that I requested some 13 years ago since there aren't many others fighting with me!
Anyway, I'm curious how old are you guys now? Surely I can't be the youngest member here anymore!
