Even tho I can’t come here and participate as much as I once did the price of admission is cheap.

The cat is back! 😃

I like that we have the old color scheme back. And I hope this sucker works well in Opera too.

Just paid via Paypal (sold enough on EBay over the weekend to pay for ten subs) and looking forward to seeing my shiny new CHARTER MEMBER tag…

Since I mostly lurk I debated it, but in the end I decided that it’s casual users like me that need to sign up (along with newbies, of course) to keep the community vital and not just the same 12 folks posting over and over. Not that that seems to be happening…

Does this charter membership make me look fat?  
If the Powers That Be are on the ball, they will create and suspend accounts under the names “Charter Member,” “CharterMember,” “Charter\_Member,” etc., to prevent some wiseacre or five from coming along and claiming them. If it hasn’t happened already. Heh.

Well, I’m in.

Is it just me or is this board still glacially slow? Signing up was an ordeal in itself. I thought the hamsters would crap out at any second.

You can all stop waiting with bated breath.

That’s funny, see, cause like I’m lurker, so like no one really knows me. Get it? Oh, never mind…

In, though I was wondering. While registering I noticed they still had an old email address. So I changed it. And then couldn’t get in until I got home and clicked through on the email they’d sent me.

So I had a few hours of “darn, I paid for this thing and it ain’t working!!!” But I had faith.

Yay! There’s _finally_ a clique!

And I’m in it! Woo!

I just about went crazy and bought a celebratory mug, but then I realized it was going to be nearly $20CDN, after shipping. I’m beginning to see why a subscription plan is a better way to support this place than the ol’ House o’ Values.

Still… Woo!

Me! Last I looked I was not a Charter Member, but I have high hopes for this post.
