I drifted away from posting when they started charging; I let it lapse and basically just lurk (until) now. Please send me an email with all the information you have on prior user name(s) and let’s get you merged up. Subscriptions are $14.95 per year and can be purchased at any time from the User Control Panel, go to UserCP and click on “Paid Subscriptions,” then follow the prompts. Subscribers get a few little privileges, including the absence of advertising on the message board, more PM storage, etc. The payment processing is handled through PayPal but accepts most every credit card and PayPal too, of course. You can also buy a Custom Title, just for fun. Subscribers help keep us in business and we appreciate all contributions. ---

Hi Tuba, I’ve emailed you a couple of times since you first posted about this but got no response. Which is the best email to contact you on? ---

I’m 18532. Which is… well. Woot? I guess? Man that’s one indecisive number. ---

#4407. And, I was 44 years old in '07. I’m sure that’s highly significant. I wasn’t on the AOL board, because back then real geeks used Usenet. I was on the Usenet Straightdope group for quite a long time before I heard that this message board had opened. ---

> [@](#): > > I wasn’t on the AOL board, because back then real geeks used Usenet. When AOL went to the all-you-can-surf plan, I was there, because I had read at least one of the SD books, which said that Cecil was on AOL. I knew very well that I would need an unlimited plan if I used another online provider, as I’d been burned before.
