History of the SKMB?

[Tery]

Oh yes, that old MB was a right PITA both for Marsha (Ms. Mod) and for us. No threads made for mass confusion, as Dana Jean notes. You'd ask something or comment and not see a reply for many, many posts. I got a bit impatient at first but Flake took my hand (in a cyber sense) and guided me into the club.

Then I was asked to be a Beta tester for a new MB. Well yes, I was honored. Why me? But who am I to question Marsha's innate wisdom in her choice?

We Beta testers have been accused of being a clique, of acting superior, of being Mod's Little Angels™. But we're just very, very lucky folks.

I went on that origiinal board, it was like a giant run on sentance. I couldnt follow it. I made my head hurt.

What year was the first Board started? Who were the very first members, say, the first 5 members?

Stephen's web site first launched in late 1998 but we only had an email contact system. We were quickly inundated with emails so in the spring of 1999 set up a guestbook for people to leave messages which evolved into a message board but I have no way of finding out who the first 5 members were without doing many hours of research and chances are it would be an exercise in futility as the company that first hosted the web site is no longer in business.

Very True!
But I was the first one ever to contact Steve via E-Mail!
And I'm also a member of The Liar's Club...in fact I'm the President!
Yeah, Yeah...That's it!!!

Hi

So the 'Message Board' is exactly ten years old then?

Party in the Cantina? LOL

Long days and pleasant nights

I showed up at the end of the old board - not the old, old board. It wasn't too confusing then (even for a computer dummie like me) but it wasn't as fun as it is now! I really like this place.

I always wondered how you guys got to be beta testers. You just asked? That's pretty cool.

I'm game for the 10 year old party John! See you there.

If it's a tale ye be wantin' then it's a tale ye shall have!

--next week! LOL
Have a good weekend!

Oh, Anni! Is it next week yet? Huh? Is it? Is it? Don't mean to embarrass myself, or put any pressure on, but...

Remember when you logged into the main page and it asked you if you wanted the New MB, the Old MB, or the Old, old MB? I can't find that page now. QUOTE]

That's when I signed on and I have to say I was very confused. I didn't know if I wanted the new ,old or the Old,Old one.

I remember feeling very old because I started on the Old, Old MB.

I haven't been around too long but I do remember the great Halloween story last year, that was very fun for me.

Would you mind sharing the story, or what is was?
