Whatever happened to backpackers?
Wed, 06/27/2007 - 15:33
Seems to be dead and this place is hardly as lively as it used to be…?
My guess is everyone is out chaseing poon.
ohh back packers are here theyre are just to timid to speak…wheres a good destination top go backpacking where i can take a bath in a riverwith lots a trees around such as a rain forest thatd be a cool picture and experience one for teh mantel
A lot of the original crew is over at:
www.eurotrek.net
and some at
www.backpatters.com
Some of us still come back here to talk travel, but in terms of the pub and non-travel chat, there’s a lot more over there than here……
Trylo?
Is that you?
Glad to see you. Backpackers had sort of an exodus. Long story.
should have been called twatslappers
Jboy you’re incorrigible[]

You’ve probably been wiped out twice. I joined a few years ago and after an upgrade some of the members posted that they had lost posts. During this last upgrade, I lost about 1500. The site is better though.
Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, and end up getting charged double.
Those days are long gone. Andrew wasn’t spending much time here by 2000, even less by ’01. Then he sold the site.
It’s fun to reminisce but at this point I’d rather have the memories and the site upgrade than the thousands of posts.[]
I’d rather have the old site back and the large pub crew we had in those days 98/00… boris the lot !
Jboy, you’re smart enough to know that You Can’t Go Home Again.
You’ll always have your arguments with boris, the choo choo, the Ghost of Jboy, the Pub (eternally) in shambles, etc.
who was the twit that used to post who crap his life was, his wife sucked and all that shit then she found the site and kicked his butt. CK was always funny as well. I’m sure I started posting in 1997. can’t believe it’s been 10 years, and nobody has killed jboy.
Somebody killed Boris I think…
those were the days when you could post peoples addresses and shit
and get away with it.
In fact, CK had Interpol all over his ass (in Signapore) for stalking Fabiam even though
she was trying to marrying some american eurotrip member Bob for a green card
We never heard from Boris again after the mob attacked him in the the pub brawl
Those were the days, and when you look at the state of the place… I wish we could go back
Both sites are a mess with little traffic in both pubs
CK was a really strange guy.
He sent me various emails under another username.
Some of the trips Boris went on sounded really interesting; seems like he pokes his head here every now and then but it’s probably been awhile.
People are not static, sometimes they change and go their separate ways.
Of course it’s cool when there is really good chemistry, but it does not always last.
It does last, you, me, eddie, I’d include hope buy she’s gone too
I really enjoyed Hope but she sure took a powder.
But you’re right, we’re in the second half of 2007 and many of us are still around after all this time.
Cil, Is that new avatar your backside?
Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, and end up getting charged double.
Kiwi, that was HotHands. He was another interesting guy; he did post a lot of introspective, “thinking aloud” type stuff.
I think the username came from basketball rather than amour.
MB, yes, that is a rear view.[]
OMG HotHands that is a blast from the past
Why do I only have 72 posts? Dude I wasted many many hours on this site for years and thousands of my posts are gone
So who is still around? Is Sunskin still going to Oktoberfest every year?
I think Sunskin has been active in the Oktoberfest forum.
Some are still around here, some just blog, some are still at Backpatters (the name taken after Backpackers expired.)
You probably lost some of your post during the first upgrade a few years ago. Then in January you probably lost some. I went from 1750 to about 300 during that upgrade. I’ve posted about the bug in the code but…..

——omg-HotHands———for serious, blast from the past…..
CGIRL-HOW THE HELL ARE U ????????????????????????????
I have sooo wanted to catch up with you, but I am sure that whatever digits-addresses I have for you are no longer current———EMAIL ME your current 411 por favor
are you guys still in WA?
