I changed my username when I registered for this board so I’m curious as to what I need to do to get my original post count back. Guess I better post this and see if this counts as my first post or goes back to my original 1500+. ---

kwit cher bitchin’ - I no longer even existed! On the other hand, not having ever padded my post count, I didn’t lose that much. Funny thing is that I registered in December, somewhere real close to the seventh. What I’ll miss most is the “member since” designation since many others have signed up since. ☹ Oh well. It’s good to be back. ---

On the old board, I refrained from throwing myself a 100-post party. This time I may not be so nice. 😃 ---

Only one guy wrote back to one message I wrote in this forum about why not update the board to version 2.2.1? I wrote it because I moderate another board with that version. 2.2.4 looks very nice. Maybe I can get the other board to put on 2.2.4 🙂 At one time using 2.2.1 we had about 650 people using the forum at the same time! Its pretty stable & fast. ---

Wow, I lost close to 200! Oh well, I’ll get them back soon enough, I guess. I lost my Celebrity Death Pool post too, which sucks, because I don’t remember who I picked now. Good to back! 🙂 ---
