Looking down the cafe over the weekend most of the threads (go on - somebody correct me rolleyes ) seem to be hi folks I'm new here.
OK so I thought how many of the oldies are still on site?
So my question is, if you signed up during the first 6 months of the site say hi (again) in here.
Ian
So if we've been here less than that (not oldies)but aren't newbies, are we middlies?
Hello anyway biggrin
Is that chatroom too or just forum?
And can we still say hello even if we didn't when we first joined?
well you say first 6 months....but when was it started ???
I'm an april 2004........but as I never did do a hello i'm new thread ( you never did in those days ) I'll do it now.....HELLO
Old and wrinkled here!!

Your call - its one site after all.
We joined (well Dawn did actually) in August 2003. There followed a frantic series of text messages from me - at work, to dawn, back home.
"what advert?"......"what site"...
and the rest they say is history.

Well according to the members list, it all started on 20th May 2003.
Just looked on the list and there are loads who have never posted.

Well looking at the black darlek, he joined the forum on 20th May 2003 - So this threads for anybody who signed up from then until the 20th November 2003.

I just noticed the second person who joined the forum is called Helen. She's only ever made 6 posts.
Maybe if we shout loud enough she'll come and make a witty 7th post, right here on this thread?
wave wooo hooo Helen, over here !

What Shireen meant to say is that the computer was really a present for the kids, and they thought they would plug it in, "just to make sure it worked".
Guess the kids are still waiting for their prezzie, eh Shireen? rolleyes

I had this site in my favourites from about October 2003 and viewed it as a guest, while my husband and I were debating the swinging lifestyle, on and off for the following years until I joined officially in April 2005........a whole year and a half later.

Yes, I have heard lol
Isn't the current forum just a rejigging of an earlier one, which suggests that the site was running well before the 20th May 2003. I seem to remember seeing pages from the old forum in a thread on here quite some time ago. See the thread below.

As to joining, I first started using the chatroom in September 2003 and registered for the forum in December to sign up for the first NW munch. The chatroom was a much more pleasant place then I think with only a handful of people in and no need for rules. I remember the excitement when there were 40 users in there. lol

Yep - the site was a very different place in those days, much more scarier and more like a really odd chatroom. Mark moved it over to this format in May 2003, hence the joined dates. And in those days it was much quieter too.
:lol:
Well I'm not an "oldie" but I am still around - 18 months and counting or there abouts, sometimes it feels like about 6 months too long - maybe all accounts should expire after a year and then we could all choose a new name and re-invent ourselves?
Browsing through the people who were here back then though it makes you wonder where some have gone and what they are doing.

I know who Helen is..... i was just trying to see if we could shift Mark off the driving seat for long enough for Helen to get behind the keyboard.
It's about time me thinks?
