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 ass 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
