Old school mates

Check out http://www.schoolfriends.com.au/
I registered and was surprised at how many old school mates I found on there.

Psycho Chicken · 08-02-2005, 11:35 PM

hahaha I signed up for the hell of it, I only left 3 years ago (jesus christ that flew!!). Trust, the teacher's pet was signed up.

Actually not too bad, found my grade 3 teacher, my brother's grade 2 teacher that my dad made cry at parent-teacher night, a bunch of my ex's friends that I used to hang around, a few ****ers from high school that deserve a punch or two and some old cadet mates.

I just signed up... heck almost every teacher i know is a member!!!

Psycho Chicken · 09-02-2005, 12:21 AM

Oh yeah, a funny one, the system admin from my first high school is signed up as a student, would of thought the system admin would know his way around the net!

Yea that part is a bit of a bumma, but what I done was list my email address in the form abc '@' blah.com if you write it like that it doesn't get dropped, that way at least others can contact you if they like.

Tornado · 09-02-2005, 08:29 AM

Or if thay have listed their current employer you can figure out what their email address would be. Mines pretty easy to figure out, firstname.surname@sun.com or even firstname@sun.com , thay both work.
Or if your really keen to talk to them, just call the company and ask for them.

I joined up. Found so old friends on there.
In the bio section, a lot of people from my schhol had written their email addys like this:
name at hotmail dot com
That way people can contact them for free! Clever idea, so I did it as well.

LuvinmyEB · 09-02-2005, 08:55 AM

I joined that site way back when everything was free.

I've had a lot of friends that I'd lost touch with get in contact me, even one old neighbour. My first boyfriend is on there too.. from primary school. :P

Pity that you have to pay for eveything now.

Yeah been a member for years, you keep getting updates as new people from your school etc register as well. I've even signed up to a few of my old sporting clubs and TAFE so see if I recognise any old names.

Thanks to the school friends site I found out about my HSC class 30 year reunion last year. So it can work for you.

I tried that too, no one's contacted me though. :(

I signed up a couple of years back. They used to have a chatroom on there, but fortunately they closed it...now all I have to do is close the door on the unsavoury incidents that arose from it....

A shark fishing trip using him as bait would work, but the mongrel calls the cops every time he spots me...damn chicken hearted scum.

Thornie · 09-02-2005, 07:24 PM

my first girlfriend from primary school is on there as well as a ton of old class mates

RED_EL_XR8 · 09-02-2005, 07:25 PM

The secret is to sign on as other you know write a less than flattering profile and then you and only you have the password to that profile. Lots of fun

RSgerry · 09-02-2005, 08:36 PM

i registered with friendsreunited in the uk and met up with some friends i went to primary school with in london last year. i hadnt seen these guys for 25 years...it was like i had never left. one of the highlights of my holiday.

Hawk · 09-02-2005, 09:16 PM

Yeah it is a pretty good site isn't it. There was a story done on the founders by one of those low-credibility current affair shows...but it was actually quite an interesting story. I remember when I first left school my brother told me about it, so I have been on there for quite a while, however there aren't that many people that were friends of mine that are signed up (bloody tiny schools). I already know their contact details anyway though so it's all good.

blueoval · 09-02-2005, 11:00 PM

I found wanted friends and unwanted people there. hey small world isnt it. I bet there isnt any body on this forum from willunga high school in SA 1989-1992 or who went to Shailer Park State school in QLD in 1981-1983?

That's a pretty good site. I signed up for the hell of it and found about 15 others from my graduating class of '99
