If we are compiling a history don’t forget the lost weekend.  
SDMB was (as I recall) going to move over to a new server. Jerry backed up on Friday and started to work. Everything posted after the backup and until the new equipment went online was going to be lost, so TPTB declared a free weekend and we all got our ya-ya out as it were.  
Fun times.  
Also try to include some of the April 1st mod hi jinks.

Yes! That sort of thing would definitely need to be there. The more the merrier. Any clues as to the date(s) involved? Even without dates at this stage a list of those events and “special moments” would help focus searches and the like. The ones already mentioned in those linked threads can be put together in one post as a starter for such efforts. I’ll try to get one of those ready.

In case **ntucker** happens to be reading this thread, it would be great to have an update of that file he built last year for [Another look at “active users” at SDMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=632686) and maybe for those of us with limitations on our Excel worksheet sizes (65,000 in my case) a couple broken down by “those who posted at least once” and “the others.” Or even broken down by “BANNED” and “not yet BANNED.” 🙂

Here’s the latest group of names for “Mods” with details attached. Notice that some of these names need tweaking in order to square up with the current names list.

I do apologize for having omitted some obvious Mods in the earlier list of “current Mods” since I went by the Mod lists for each of the current fora – I thought. I’m rechecking to see how I missed some active Mods.

+++ Please help list other Mods from the past. +++

I’ll be adding these to the sorted list for reposting later. Please let me know if some of these are NOT (nor never were) Mods.

When I compared this list (gathered just now) to the one in [Post #15](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15069117&postcount=15) I can’t see where I left anybody off the list.

Maybe I can’t see all the fora?

As I said I would, I have been through the threads I started in search of topics that relate (I hope) to the timeline building project.

First, a couple of “gee whiz” threads with some interesting dates and thread superlatives and/or noteworthy data:

Want to take a stab at who will post #4,000,000?  
Which Forum?  
What time and date?

Looks like it could happen within 48 hours to me.

See Post #63. My notes on “Jill” and “Slythe” just mean that those specific names are no longer accessible. I had already covered “JillGat” and “Czarcasm.”

Sorry, posting from my phone. By the way, found something that you may not be able to open, but others can and maybe one of them can post a screenshot for you. The temporary board we used during the winter of our missed content was archived. It’s after it was closed for posting, but I figured others may like to see it.

No. Neither Knickers or Kn\*ckers was ever a mod. That was evidently an error for Nickrz.

**Melin** was the name. Checking old posts in which she is quoted and mentioned by name, it appears that her name has become disassociated from her posts in the database (which can happen in very old threads), so her posts appear listed as “guest” with no username. Not sure why the name doesn’t appear in the list of usernames, but that can happen in the case of name changes or perhaps other glitches.

Thanks much, **Colibri**. I’ll fill in the details and add them to the list, if needed.

Is there a relatively easy way to access the date span for their being Mods?

Probably only the announcements in ATMB.

I don’t know an easy way to do it. I think you would have to search for the announcements in ATMB.

To start you off, my announcement thread was on June 20, 2007. **Gfactor’s** was the same day. As I recall, **DrMatrix** and **xash** were our immediate predecessors in GQ.  
Almost five years already. :smack: How time flies when you’re having fun!

Thanks. I’ll try to get that done before too much longer.

Just a note: it’s UkUlele Ike and not UkElele Ike.  
Does **Lynn Bodoni** still have Mod or Admin duties?

Names I had on the Mods list that are not on **Colibri** ’s list:

Cajun Man  
fluiddruid  
Kn\*ckers

Can you confirm that these were never Mods?

You are correct. Sorry. I have edited it above.

**Lynn** is not actively moderating but is still a staff member.

> [@](#):
>
> Cajun Man

I added Cajun Man above. I had overlooked him.

> [@](#):

> fluiddruid

**fluiddruid** is currently on sabbatical. Although she is not actively moderating any forums she is still a moderator.

> [@](#):

> Kn\*ckers

Never a mod.

Thanks to both of you. I did spot the correction/addition about Cajun Man after I had posted.
