Hey guys, I stumbled upon this site while I, feeling nostalgic, tried logging into the old BI to see that it had now become some sort of Indonesian gambling wiki or something? I can't even tell but it looks like it's gone for good 
But I'm glad I took the time to Google it and found this instead!! I don't know if anybody here might remember me but my old name was in fact TheDinoGirl, and I joined the original BI in October 2010, almost ELEVEN YEARS AGO (I won't say how old I was, but suffice it to say I was not even a teen yet lol). BI was my first social media experience, and I remember the good old days of typing everything in huge purple text, constantly nerding out to everyone (and their little dogs) too about one thing or another, be it dinosaurs or MLP:FIM (pretty sure I was one of the founding pegasisters on there) or Mario Kart or Pat Benatar or whatever I was into in a given five minutes, waiting around anxiously for someone to post the next DCT, the games, the clubs, carefully monitoring my "reputation points" and getting a little too excited when I finally obtained "a reputation beyond repute" because I felt like a freaking social media superstar... I remember the "site model" craze, the banner not being updated for like literal years, somebody whose name I forget being really into GIMP peppers and that being like her "thing"... I even remember all of us waiting with bated breath as we spent our last moments on Bearville proper before it got shut down in 2015 (and yes, I AM still lowkey salty about that). It... was quite an interesting time 
Anyhoo, even though I'm now a semi-functional adult with a relationship and a full-time job and who has since gone on to graduate to Facebook, BI and the people I met on there--how many of them found their way here with me, I don't know--will always hold a place near and dear in my heart. Feel free to follow me if you think I seem even vaguely familiar because I probably thought you were literally my best friend or something
