There were a lot more people in the Steem days, so it's no surprise. There are a lot of folks I also never encountered until after the Hive fork. I did post in bananafish a few times. But I was also running my own haiku contests at the time and doing a weekly renga event with The Isle of Write (a splinter group from the old Writer's Block) so I didn't do bananafish on a regular basis. Had some nice talks with that guy, though.
