Welcome back Damian

[mivox]

mivox 36/F/Alaska :-) Also known as Teresa, but that's not very memorable, is it?

Shorter forum history than most, since I started with WMW and went straight to "screw public forums", but I got some moderating time in there (Graphics & FOO, for anyone that missed my illustrious reign).

Been working the same day job for 10+ years now, although I make it more and more part time as the years drag on. Still keep telling myself I need to get off my a## and build some income sites for myself and quit the office gig. Still haven't done it. hehehe

And I'll chime in on the "damn nice to see everyone again" sentiment!

[JamesR]

Good to see you again Teresa, you definitely need to quit your day job 

[mivox]

It has its perks though... maybe if we ever get a national health care system going, I'll quit then. hehe

[Gurtie]

Hey all. Boy have I missed some of you

Also answer to Denise, but online I'm generally Gurtie and was a member at most of the old places, modded at Searchguild (RIP) and Threadwatch.

I've switched between agency and in house stuff and even had Mr Duke as my boss for a year or so. I survived that so I guess I officially now qualify as toughened up.

Rasmus here. Denmark born and raised.

Started doing SEO in 1999 with the late Notabene.net brand and stayed there until 2007 where Torben and I left to do our own stuff.

We witnessed the expansion from being 5 man shop in the basement to have 3 offices, 30 employees, got bought up, got listed on the stock exchange, expanded to Sweden, Norway, Finland and the UK (bought Guava and a couple of other UK SEO firms, thought we where golden, saw it all tank due to psychopathic management/CEO and now back to being 2 guys with a couple of ukranian programmers.

I'm still an active mod at WMW in Euro forum since 2000.

These days we do aff stuff, consulting on seo/sem/aff and run a couple of small online shops.

Good to see all the old familiar nicks and names
