I was having an argument with another FReeper about how many of the old timers were still around. I tell people there is a FReeper vsyndrome and that most of them are still around, they just don't post much anymore.

Here is your chance to put these rumours to rest. Chime in and let everyone know you still are alive and kicking. Post your registration number if you know it.

Miss my buddy Joe Montana.

Joe used to do such wonderful "themed" threads. I'm sure he still lurks.

You know, that's interesting... I can remember being on late at night before registration and there were so few of us... It would be like, "is anyone here?" and five minutes later someone would reply.

But I didn't remember much about the registration controversy... I was more like, "oh, we have to register, okay"

But I always hated that I took the name Altura. I had just been on a Star Trek forum and was using that name there as I thought it sounded spacy (ha) so I just brought it along. Oh, well.

Can't change it now, or would lose my NUMBER!

Have you been able to figure out how many of the 11-28-97 people are still with us ... I've noticed at least three on this thread, but haven't had time to read the whole thing.

Signed in Jan 99 but lurked for a long while before that...back to the Whitewater era. Guess it doesn't count. *sigh*

Still here, four hurricanes later.

Thanks for the memories. And thanks for your logo contribution to VetsCoR. If the link doesn't work, it's because we are installing a new server, and we're off line until first week of October.

"...Don Morgan; he promptly chewed me up and spit me out, lol. Those were the days when you did not join in a discussion lightly. :)"

In those times, as much as I resented the "forum cops", Don proved himself by going on to become a gov official in his community. Kudos to him.
