We had a message board to keep track of each other and various 'fests, but apparently we weren’t active enough for the site and they shut it down. Or maybe they shut down all the message boards, who knows. Anyways, I’ve set up a group in Yahoo for us. While I’m not overly fond of the format, it does have some nice touches like a calendar. So if you want to be kept up-to-date on local going-ons, sign up [here!](http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dfw_adams_family/join) ---

What, I’m only the second member? Get moving, gang. ---

Good morning! We’re up to all of 4 people - anyone else? ---

We’re in. Used **Moxmaiden’s** Yahoo account to subscribe(I never use mine) and looking at the member list made me realize that she hasn’t updated the personal info she(perhaps naively) filled in about three years ago. I wonder if that would be considered “lying about your age”. 🙂 Enjoy, Steven ---

I don’t have a Yahoo account, and my preferred username is already taken. But still, I tried to sign up and encountered “technical problems”. I’ll try again later, but keep me in mind. ---

I have a Yahoo profile but under a different user name. When I tried to create a profile using my SDMB user name I got an error message that it was already in use. I’ll try using my Yahoo name. Hope it doesn’t confuse things too much. ---

Upon review of the member list I see that most who have signed up so far have different user names on Yahoo so I guess I am not that much out of step. ---

No problem there. I would like it if your Yahoo id is significantly different from your board id, that you put something in your yahoo profile. Although I did figure out who iowalawboy is. ---

I signed up, having finally noticed this thread. I didn’t even remember creating a Yahoo account, but it recognized my username and password. ---
