To hopefully get the ball rolling, here's my reintroduction

[Peterdea]

Hi, to those who don't know me I'm Peterdea. I was a mental Linkin Park fan when I was younger, and have since stayed up to date. I love A Thousand Suns and Living Things, but am not yet too keen on the Hunting Party. It'll grow on me. I was a frequent user of LPF, and made some good friends here, one of whom I still talk to (@MrsBennington-Delson ). Going back over all my old posts, man, my teenage personality can be fully seen here. Awesome.

I'm a (sort of) teacher. I teach/assist specialized teachers in educating kids about certain sports (I've taught soccer, basketball, baseball, general fitness and multiple other sports).

As well as that, I am on a committee for an organization that runs video game tournaments. This is something I really enjoy doing, probably even moreso than the teaching (which is heaps of fun itself)

I play Smash Brothers Melee competitively, which is how I ended up on the committee I mentioned above. While not the best player I do tend to average in the top half of players.

I have a VHS collection that contains over 100 obscure tapes, and I make video mixtapes when I get a free moment. In fact, I'm obsessed with strange videos, and usually wont bother watching a Youtube video that has over 10,000 views.

I'm also a mad Chelsea FC fan. A win can make me happy in the worst of times and a loss can bring me down in the best of times.

Anyway... To all those returning, good to see you again, and to the new members, pleased to meet you! We're bringing it back. Here's to the future of the LPF!

Great intro. It is nice to meet you. I also have a large assortment of VHS tapes. They must hold some sort of spell over people.

VHS are the best man. Check out the Found Footage Festival sometime, they are the ultimate VHS hoarders. Not only do they have the largest collection of obscure tapes on the planet, but they actually try to go and find the people involved in making the better ones.

I never knew a site like that existed. I also have a nice collection of cassette tapes and on that site they had a link to cassette tapes site. I will be busy going over those 2 sites.

Nice to meet you. I am a newbie. I tried to register a few months ago and I couldn't. Seems something was wrong with the process.

The site had some REAL issues as it went under. With members gone, the spam bots took over. There were one or two of the moderators trying to remove it all, but they eventually gave up and just locked the site. Members couldn't sign up and only existing members with an "elite" status or above could post. The only reason I got elite is probably because I would check in so often, and so I was promoted to allow me to post. Otherwise, I doubt I ever would have been promoted, but I'll take it! Yeeah!

There's also the guys at Everything Is Terrible who collect stuff to, but they go into even stranger territory. I'd only recommend checking their stuff out if you are truly ready for a sensory challenge. I remember one of their videos was a compilation of crowd footage only. It was so strange and hard to sit through, but has since become one of my favourite background videos for drinking sessions with my buddies.
