clyde_frog 01/05/20 4:44:41 AM #1:	And how long after did it take you to make an account? As a bonus, do you still have that account? For me I want to say I first visited the site around 04/05 for cheat codes, then made an account in late 05 when I discovered the boards. I mostly frequented the Smackdown vs. RAW 06 social board back then since I wasnt aware of PWBs existence. Shortly later I forgot my login credentials (literally the email and password I used) so I made another one in summer 06 with my friend which is still active to this day but hardly ever use. I made this one in 2012 so we had our own accounts, and its been going strong ever since. --- https://imgur.com/UFOAF https://imgur.com/aPQ00PI http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m71fpsIYJA1qf1116o1_500.jpg <cite>clyde_frog posted [p:932488162] in What year ...
