Well I doubt after 10 or so years anyone remembers me I think I was last here a little bit after 9/11 id been here a few years before that having discovered the sd on aol but dumb things happened in life and things prevented me from coming back although I think I tried once but it didn’t stick But heres what was going before I left: 1 were going back and forth on whether the chi reader was going to put ads on the site or have a monthly sub… I think we know how that’s turned out 2 were also having moral debates on new technology like napster arcade emulator sites abandonware ect 3 posters were getting together and producing off spring The huge thing was a 4-6 week site outage that was so bad that tubadiva was paying a web hosting site to house us (which we quickly crashed the free version hence the paid version) they thought it was a poster with a grudge I wondered if they found out who did it anyways if anyone remembered me I had to change the sn because my account I signed in on is long gone and the message I sent hadn’t been gotten two so got Impatient and made this one ---

A timely reappearance, since we just had _another_ such incident (although this one did not take a month to get the board back online). Same suspicions & etc. A moderator will probably be along shortly to help find your old account and merge this one with it. Accounts can’t be “long gone”, they never discard them. More likely you need your password reset or something. ---

If you post a message in ATMB I’m sure the administrators will sort out your multiple accounts. ---
