Reunion of Guppies from the 90's

In late 90s i was too busy with That Mirc nixer ... ah good ol'days

: If they only realized 90% of the overtime they pay me is only cause i like staying here playing with Kazaa when the bandwidth picks up after hours.
: If any of my employees did that they'd be fired instantly.

Jahan tak main ny GS ky purany safhy(panny:wink:) khangaly hain Amal, Amjad , ATA or Ullu ki hazri tu zarori hy 90s walon main nam tu bad azan badly na sab ny:hmmm:

Here’s moi (formerly, Umar Talib) eshtory:

It was during a regular Internet browsing and searching session on a lonely lunch hour afternoon in June 1998 when I happened to stumble upon Gupshup. I was just perusing through some search engine results for Pakistan related sites, I came across TOPP (The Official Pakistan Page), i.e. pak.org. Needless to say, it seemed like a kewl desi hangout place, albeit a quiet one. Discussion forums were sort of a novelty back then… and this was the first one that I participated in. I was starting to get a little bored of the IRC scene.

I remember there being four or five sub forums/sections on Guspshup – yeah dat was it!

My first conversations on GS were with Muzna and Boss, and sometime later with Hayaa, DesiBehna and Khalifa, and Shirarty. I really miss those unassuming, warm and friendly interactions with them – and for some odd reason, most of the ppl were in Canada! Even better I thought! I’d really found a virtual home. Later that summer, I got to meet Muzna, Boss and Khalifa. In addition to a few others, we became a pretty regular offline group meeting almost a couple of times a year.

In the early days, I was a hard core participant in the Poetry section. There were a few of us who posted regularly in the poetry section - NaikLarki, Sabah, Rameesha, Hayaa and Mahnoor being the other regulars. Sometimes, we used to hangout in the Poetry section all day!

So after being online for a few months… Muzna and Azkar sanctioned my authority over other becharey ginney-chuuney guppies, and I moderated the Café and the General sections for quite a while. At the beginning, Café was called “Meeting New People” :hehe:

I continued very active participation in GS, both online and offline, for a good three years. In 2001/2002, due to time constraints, I became more of a passive member / lurker and assumed the role of a silent moderator. Starting 2004 onwards though, I became active again, especially with the overhauling of GS and all the new projects that were being planned for paklinks.

So looking back, I feel like I’ve grown up with Gupshup. Almost 11 years on the site, I’ve made a lot of acquaintances, extended relationships to the offline world, built strong friendships with a few gupsters, and had rather eventful episodes with other members. All in all, a worthwhile 11 years!

For those of you who’re wondering what Pak.Org andGupshup looked like back then, here’s a trip down memory lane (courtesy WayBackMachine). Click links below to check out the website interface starting 1998:

P.S. I’ve contacted some oldies via email requesting their contribution in this thread. If you’re reading this, please drop by… we’d all love to hear from you.

Lucid, ur provided time machine capsules, made me feel so nostalgic and now I miss Naik Larki all over :teary1: Where on earth is she I wonder.

Oh and Unki Exsh-tweemoo … where art thou :frowning:

X2, now that I recal, u’ve always snubed me and apko Muzna baji kay postoN kay ailawa kam hee nazr ata tha :snooty:
Therefore thanks to the links to ‘forgotten memory lane’ now I remember some clearly and can safely conclude that we were enemies but more like cold war type I think :confused:

Teee eL kaaaay: aaah I remember, I remember not the content but the caplocks, and I’m sure I must’ve sanctioned u with a lecture :cb:
also remember that you and Muzna ji used to fight like aaaaaaall the time :hmmm:
