Almost as creative... it was dampier, my last name.  I suck at handles, what can I say.  I started my involvement by launching a computer bulletin board back in 1986 and have been involved in this online communications thing ever since.  Except my handle has always been my real name.  I suppose deep down I see more built-in credibility when someone puts their name on something they write.  Yeah, that's the best excuse I can come up with for having zero creativity in the handle department.  :)

My IMDb profile says I registered last July, but I don't even remember that. I started posting on the BBM board after seeing it in January, then I moved to the Tremblay board after getting an invite (I think that was only a few days after it was started).

I started IMDB around Dec. 20th.  The (legit) posts were real helpful in dealing with all the emotions and questions about the film.  Could have done without the trolls, but if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it.

I started on IMDb for the movie 'Alexander'.  That was early in 2005, I don't recall what month.  February maybe?

I was there very ferociously for a few months, then I had to go onto my other fandoms;  the last Star Wars movie came out in May and I was on TF.net for the entire summer, then in the fall, I went to another board for another interest, then in November, I think it was, I saw a trailer for BBM, got all bent out of shape and hit IMBd running full throttle.

I still visit there.  Went to the 'DaVinci Code' boards, but they're crazier than the BBM boards.

I remember going to IMDb (before I knew about the message boards I think) back in the late 90's, to look at actors' filmographies and biographies....but it wasn't until I saw Before Sunrise last year that I began to really read message boards. I stayed up a few nights reading the boards for both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset (two of my favorites) but it never got "out of hand" so to speak.

Then I saw Brokeback opening night on December 9th, talked about it with my friend for an hour and a half, got up the next day and spent the whole weekend on IMDb, seeing names like dellaluvia, rtprod, slayers creek oth, hibbler, and sweetlilgygy for the first time :) .....the longest I stayed away since then was probably during the holidays. I missed a couple days around my birthday in February, too. Otherwise, pretty much attached at the hip.

I've been going to IMDb for as long as I can remember, it's *such* a great resource once you wade through the crap.  But I think I registered in June 2005 because it started requiring me to do so to read the boards.

I first went to the BBM board on Jan. 1, 2006, the day after seeing it for the first time!  I think my first post there was shortly afterwards, but it's gone from my history.  I was fortunate enough to get rescued to PT about a week before the Oscars - thank god, because I don't know how I would have survived Black Sunday without it.
