WHOA! What's happened here?!

Greetings, people of the SDMB! According to the little blurb under my user name, I last visited on 4-22-06. If I remember correctly, this was when my paid subscription ran out and I could no longer afford my membership.

Tonight, on a whim, I plugged in my info and found that I had all the access I ever had, harkening back to when the forums were free.

So, um…are they free again then? When did this happen? Does anybody remember me? Who is still around?

Is anyone still burning they dog? Are blimps still horrifying?

Heya, Jess. Tasha’s friend, right?

How’s Floridian tricks?

Nope. All wrong, I’m afraid. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m Jes. Wife of another former, long-time poster- d_redguy. We live in NC.

I think my only “big-deal thread” was the one in which I tracked down and called my biological father.

I remember YOU though! :smiley:

Off top of my head, I remember Lobsang, Guinastasia, Crazy Cat Lady, RueDeDay

Uka, ta! Tiko uni dara de gama for ti ini dassa gabra! Tokoko likir opona aldir!

Points to sign that says “Free posting reinstated. Dope gone to hell, savages regressed to tribal standards. Leave while you still can, love, the Staff.”
Points to exit

:smiley:

I remember that!

It went free over Labor Day weekend or thereabouts, with the server upgrade. They’re still working out the bugs, but things are pretty stable lately.

I didn’t know you spoke Tokipona!

You’re just taking the NSFW Picture Thread too seriously. :slight_smile:

Now the Maggot Cheese thread, I can understand about…

I have to say- this took me by surprise. Some things have definitely changed around here! lol

Yep, I remember you. Coffee importer, several pet ferrets, tornado chaser, mother of 9. How did your sister’s sex-reassignment go? You still talk to Maarten?

That thread was an aftereffect of the Amnesia Weekend. I was quite surprised by it; I suspect that there won’t be another.

My brother is doing well. I just shipped 8 of the nine out to stay with him while I work on a deal with Howard Schultz. I sent the oldest down south to get some up-close trailer park footage. I was still talking to Maarten, until I found out what he’d been doing with the ferrets every time I asked him to pet-sit. Never thought I’d see that on a nanny cam!!

Though I hear nobody can talk to him anymore. Apparently, he thinks he’s a glass of orange juice. :frowning:

Hyperjes, upon reading your post I decided to try logging in too. Apparently I last visited on 07-24-2005.

And you last posted on 11-10-2003. Welcome back stranger.
