How did you find Datalounge?

I remember frequenting a gay forum run by Billy Masters, over 20 years ago.

Every now and then, there would be references to that "filth" and "garbage" and "sewer" and "cesspool" known as Datalounge. Rofl!

Naturally, I had to check it out.

And I've been here ever since.

Sadly, his site closed. But Datalounge is still here! Haha.

I was discussing the upcoming FEUD at imdb or maybe moviechat and (as these things happen) the conversation turned to the ALICE theme song.

Someone linked to this, and my eyes were opened:

I was googling hottest asses in gay porn and while going through the top searches, stumbled upon DL. For the first few rounds, I thought DL was just porn related but then, later came to realize anything goes.

It was back in the early naughts. I searched "celebrity gossip" and DL popped up. I forget why, but I was hooked.

I think it was an Aaron Schock thread, of course! LOL

intern at a PR firm. Everyone reads this, no matter how they want you to believe otherwise, though I sense the killing of bumping old threads will basically kill this website, because people now can't comment on the gossip that's confirmed. I think this message board will die soon if you disable bumping stuff.

R21 sadly, ten years later yet the answer has remained unclear.

His dick pic was a hugh bonus though thus no hard feelings to Datalounge

I’ve been here since before there was an internet.

I probably came from alt.show biz gossip or perhaps it was a search for a cute naked actor. Either way, I’ve been a Datalounge stalwart ever since. My how time files. Now I’m an elder gay , reading the same damn posts I posted 20 years ago. Who’s gay? Who’s slept with whom? It never changes and I love it!

1995/1996 was my last year of undergrad studies. I was often in the computer lab, and I was just starting to come out of the closet to friends. As a young gayling, I was fascinated by drag queens and "fun" bars. I found "The Draginatrix" online, and checked in every day to read the posts in Trudy's Conversation Pit. As it was another Mediapolis site, there were links to the DataLounge, which started out as more of a LGBT news clearinghouse.

In the early days, I was fascinated by the contributions of well-placed gays in politics, film, theater, finance, the press, psychology, advertising, the visual arts world, among others. I loved feeling like I was "in the know," even though I had no idea how true most of the material was.

DL has had some ups and downs over the years, and I've left and come back a few times. I feel like we grew into adulthood together. I lean on this community. It gives me a kind of sustenance.

I was searching online for something stupid and got a hit that lead to Datalounge. After reading through the thread that I had been directed to........the 'oh dear' queen cracked me up....so I explored more threads.....I found the comments.... campy, backbiting, sarcastic, dry, volatile, condescending, narcissistic, and sometimes ridiculous....all the things I love ....... I don't know if I will ever be able to find my way out.

i think i also found DL from being mentioned on alt.showbiz.gossip, but the Billy Masters connection is there too . I had forgotten all about him and 'filth2go" but I was definitely a reader. I think in the 90's.

Oh - it's the annual "How Did You Find Datalounge?" thread. I was reading a Kennedy family biography and ran into a definite discrepancy re Jackie O meaning the author did not have his facts entirely straight. I googled the fact and found a Jackie thread on DL. You dudes had me lmao from the first thread I ever read.

My answer always remains the same.
