Nice, that's right around when I started in the early '00's.
I was also on overgrow but preferred CW as it was a bit smaller & seemed to have fewer pissing contests. Obviously still swinging dicks everywhere trying to measure up (hey, apparently it's what pot growers due) but I always loved reading the debates between Vic High, Breeder Steve, Chimera and all the others whose name I've forgotten but taught me so much.
I also got attached to CW as I unintentionally got in Dr Greenthumbs good books by defending his business in a post. He gave me a cut of his Iranian indica (mom used in Endless Sky) that was my first "elite" cutting & still one of the best plants I had the pleasure of growing.
