Just Re-discovered "The Straight Dope" Website..

Well, then, you might wanna check out this thread: When was the U.S. Navy at its most powerful? - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board

Welcome back!

Thanks! With only 400ish posts and having been a member of the teeming millions for 13 years, I have some catching up to do! :smiley:

Cool. We’d threaten to re-initiate you, since you were gone so long, but the squid’s on unpaid furlough due to budget cuts.

The trampoline’s still nice and springy, though.

:: cough ::

Or so I’m told.

Oh man, Chief Scott passed! :frowning: He was a fantastic guy and If I remember correctly was the first one to welcome me to the SDMB back in the AOL days.

Hey! No fair! You’ve been around longer than I have, if you don’t count the 10 year gap. :rolleyes:

But who’s counting? :slight_smile:

Than shouldn’t my Avatar say “Charter member” too? :smiley:

Interesting statistic…I wonder if I am the least frequent poster in SDMB history!?

Hello Rich G7subs! Would you care to send in a photo for our SDMB photo gallery?

Welcome home! Same thing happened with me. I used to love this forum back in the day. Joined at the start of 2001 made 400 odd posts then disappeared when the forum put up a pay wall. Only recently rediscovered the forum and loving it.
