    That was a spin-off from the old board, a bunch of peeps who got pissed and left.

    Old board lives here now: http://artglasspipemakers.yuku.com/

    I'm pretty sure that most of the good info was archived (as TXT) and transferred here though...

    Blast from the past.

    I think that was the old ez board from when the main one got blasted by a hacker taken out ez boards data. If so a lot of that stuff was lost forever.

    I even remember the first pipe board that Kristian started back when there were like 5 or 6 members back about 1999 or 2000'ish.

    Kristian
    Dwain
    cravinmorehead
    Mishia
    yahoo
    My self

    Then a whole slew of others sense then.

    Good times

    Smutty that list is way off. You left out almost all the Original members lol... Your getting old hehe...

    That board that was linked up top was started when there was a take over of what was the beginning of this board we have now. Kristian gave WOnka the ownership of this board and Tom put into place some rules many people were not happy with. Back then this place was like a bar were people came to after they'd been blowing glass all day. They talked shit and were pretty crass. It was too much for some. So a few started a board where there were no rules. It was fun for a week. I can not beleive it is still up lol....

    Good find.

    Waitaminute. Dwaine wasn't on the board back then. Was he? No way.

    And I thought Misha came later too. I'm not the greatest at the 'remember' game, but what's the real deal?

    my memory could be a lil fuzzy being that was like 10 years ago. and yes I am getting old as fuck. I only have 8 years or so left. :-(

    But when I found the original pipe board. It was literally days old.
    The list grow by leaps and bounds with in the next few days. You I think even came along soon after and Jeff to. like with in days.

    Misha was one I was not to sure of or not. But it seems like shes been around from the beginning. Tho not by pyro chick or Misha. But it could of been some one else and I'm just assuming that was Misha.

    But Dwain. tho I forget what his exact screen name was then. But definitely around early. I think he worked in Kristian's shop or knew him from around town.

    that list got to big to even try and remember after the first few weeks.


    Brettodle (SP?)
    sexual harassment panda
    zillatron fuzzface (emmett)
    rextrim

    they are also old school early members tho just not the day I found the place.

    I remember word of a new board for us pariah pipe makers and sinners spread like wild fire on the other glass boards as they all seem to get real pissed that we could have a place of our own.

    I remember a lot of the other boards hated that they could no longer ban us or erase our posts if on our own board.

    I remember most no pipe makers used to be so jealous of pipe makers skills they just could not take us even existing on this earth.



    Heres another blast from the past.

    pipe stock !!! Any one remember that shing ding? :-)

    Fartglasspipemakers!!!!!!!!!!!


    that board was so much fun- it took balls and a thick skin to post there! it was like going to the bar after work. i learned A LOT of stuff from you guys back then, and tried to share everything i knew/was learning from classes. it was nice to have such a tight community. this place is cool, but there's no fartglass anymore. i kinda stopped posting when it changed, it was time to quit the internet cold turkey and start actually working, and make a go at it full time

    remember when AGI was pipe stock? that was a trip! i brought my daughter who was barely 2 at the time (and now she's in 5th grade and has gotten behind the torch)

    Ivan Barrow.... there's another name i remember. is he still around? that dude had mad skills for sure
