Default 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.

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.

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.

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.

That way people can contact them for free! Clever idea, so I did it as well.

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 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....

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

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.
