Post here if you have been lurking for the duration of the paid memberships

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
161

Just let my charter member status lapse last April. I wasn’t here much after having another baby, and I was getting tired of what seemed to be same-old, same-old around here. I checked back every once in a while and now I see lots of people coming back, and it looks like it is going to be fun around here again, so that is great!
I thought I would be a regular ‘member’ now, will we always be guests? (I know, I should be checking ATMB threads or whatever. But that forum is so boring. )

If I am a guest here, I expect to be treated more politely :slight_smile:

I’ve been lurking for years- it feels so good to have a name and be able to post! Hi all!

163

Holy cow! My login still works…it’s been a long time…

164

You will eventually have a member status of some sort and a post count. At the time the members become Subscribers or something like that and the Charter Members will stay the same.

I found it here: http://209.104.5.198/sdmb/showthread.php?t=481092

Welcome back, I always enjoyed your posts.

Holy crap, some names out of the past. Welcome back!

166

thanks, What Exit

I recognize a lot of the names here - I didn’t even realize how many people had left until they came back!

167

Holy buckets. How the heck did you folks stand going for years and years reading without posting. I think I’d have exploded, and I’m not really that prolific of a poster.

Welcome back all.
(Mmmm. Fresh blood)

I’ll take your hot and dusty and raise you … hot and dusty here in South Texas.

(You know, you didn’t have to move halfway around the world to get your daughter away from my brother;))

I look damned good for my age, too! :cool:

Wow!!! It’s good to be here…

I lurked for years and was frankly too intimidated by all of the AMAZING people on here to join.

Then I worked up the courage to join as a guest last year, fully intending on paying for my membership when the free welcome expired. But then I heard that the board was going to be free, so I just held on and waited.

But I feel like I know all of you already!

171

Well, you guys seemed to have a pretty good handle on things.

172

I have nothing to add that hasn’t been said - been luking for a long time, and will probably continue to do so!

Love you guys.

173

Still…going…to…lurk?

That sequence of words really doesn’t mean anything to me. I dun get it.

I joined in August 2000. I subscribed at first but didn’t reup because I had a lot of other stuff going on. At that time I had well over 3000 posts. I don’t really have the time to hang out on the dope but I’m POSTING BECAUSE I CAN.

I may have missed the boards more than I thought I would

175

This is by far my most successful thread. It is good to see so many familiar names from back in the day.

176

I had a paid membership … then let it lapse. Have been reading ever since, although I didn’t post much as a rule.

177

Hi all, I’ve lurked here as well for a year or two and used the board as my personal ProcrastinationMachine ™
I’m excited to see how that will go now I can post…

Can I skip the squid and go straight to the pie?

I joined up in 2000. Then my computer went and outdated, I ran into a bunch of financial problems and, when I got back online I noticed the site had gone pay-to-post as they’d been threatening. Even though I had the money, I wasn’t willing to pay for hamster-fueled timeouts and difficulties in posting and access.

Now that it’s free again and appears to be running properly, or at least faster, I’m glad to be back. I’ve missed this place.

179

This is my second post, always loved the Dope. I hope many of the 99’ return I’d love to know what they have been up to.

No. Now you get squidded and you get to shave the gorilla.

To room 402 with you.
NEXT!
