Past Gymnastics Message Board Memories- Which was your first message board?

I think she went by Doc but at GGMB it was Doc Martin.

I was most active ob Gymworld and met several posters on trips to Europe, most much younger than me and my husband. I was a lurker on GGMB but met them during events here and there. Does anyone remember a poster named DianeKatie? We would email each other from time to time but I have since lost touch and don’t remember the email I was using at the time. She had a son at least and two brothers, one who passed away from stomach cancer.

Also, is WenShudi here? She was a professor of Asian Studies/Swimmer and Chinese gymnastics expert.

I very occasionally posted on gymworld and I lurked on ggmb (not sure I ever posted). Did not appreciate the drama there, but it was the best place for info about US gymnastics. I then migrated to wwgym and now I lurk here. I don't even remember my usernames from previous boards - it was that long ago.

I am still sufficiently interested in gymnastics to want to know what's going on, but not sufficiently invested anymore to get into serious discussions on most things. Also, for privacy reasons, I never stay logged in anywhere, so if I do want to reply, I need to log in specifically to do so, and I usually then decide it's not that important.

I do greatly appreciate all the info the knowledgeable posters here are providing though!

I am also currently loving the book synopses, though the Dutch one was a tough read and I don't think I can cope with the Romanian one...

Did Doc go by Doc or a different username in wwgym?

She’s gone by Doc Marten but IIRC she went by Doc here

Thanks, that rings a bell. Did she have a habit of posting in all caps?
