Still here. I admit that I read much more than I post, but I read here every day. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Hey, **Morganstern** , I’m a relic from the last century, too, but does anyone ever give us aughters any respect? I know! I regret my lurking period before finally joining, as I could have been a 99er. But if I’d joined earlier, I would definitely not have picked the name I use here, as I’d just finished re-reading the novel where my name appears just before taking the plunge and signing up. I doubt my storied career would have happened if I’d joined as **Ebenezer Wheezer** , my first inclination. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > However, if the original registration agreement is like the current one, it’s a non-exclusive license. Posters still retain copyright to their own posts. Of course, it might be difficult to establish the real identity of many posters and obtain permission. You are correct. The policy on republication on chat logs (from back in the day) was that you could publish them if you had permission from the copyright holder OR you had permission from everyone who was in the chat, because like postings, individuals all have a right as well. Like the agreement on this site: > [@](#): > > All postings and other material on the SDMB are copyrighted by STM. Republication of material appearing on the SDMB without express written permission of STM is prohibited, except that users retain the right to republish their own work. By posting on this board you grant STM and its successors and assigns a nonexclusive irrevocable right to reuse your posting in any manner it or they see fit without notice or compensation to you. There is precedence: Message board postings were republished in the last of The Straight Dope books. Right now probably need to focus most of all on current events; facing forward is the way to go. But I’d like to see a time and place where investigation and use of this archival content was possible. ---

I guess we’re all different, I never could understand how on an interactive site like this one how you can’t find a means of replying to something that’s of great interest to you. I don’t think I could ever be a total lurker unless I was dead…and then you’d never even know! ---

The tontine idea would have intrigued me had we started it back in ‘99 at, say, a one-dollar buy-in. The pot could be worth quite a bit by now, and maybe even paying small dividends to the remaining ‘99ers (as described in Thomas B. Costain’s 1955 novel) before too much longer. Starting one today? I wouldn’t think much of my chances. ---

Another thread of old timers. We seem to have one of these every year or so, don’t we? Anyway, I missed being a 99er by 3 days. I lurked for about 4 months before that, so I could have been one. Just didn’t see a need to respond to a thread until [del]after civilization fell[/del] the year-odo had rolled over. I was never on the AOL board. I did use AOL for a while back in 1995, but that was only because I was living in a small town and it was the only way I could get online. But I thought all the AOL stuff was crap so I only used their portal to the Real Internet™. ---

Yet another '99er here, whose participation has declined. Partly for being busy doing other things, but to be frank, also because my brain just ain’t quite up to where it was in the past, sadly. So it’s much more difficult to match wits with all the amazingly bright people who post more regularly, or just to submit fresh comments before others beat me to it. Anyway, considering the Departed List, the only name I remember is the only SDMB poster that Joel Robinson of MST3K referenced in the show: Hi, Opal! A rare honor indeed. I also wonder about the number of the Departed. It seems surprisingly low, considering the huge population of current and former posters here. Hmm… Maybe posting here induces extra longevity? 😉 And last but not least: Hi, \*\*TubaDiva \*\*dear! You’re a remarkable woman, and we all owe you enormous gratitude for all your hard work! ---
