I just had a dope-dream myself. It was nothing spectacular, but in searching these forums I happened upon a post I made… twenty years ago. The poster was using the long-form of my username (what the ASL stands for, as I still use occasionally in other applications). Having no memory of joining these forums in my teens or having means to pay for membership at the time, I nevertheless tried my usual password, and sure enough was able to log in to this long dormant account.
