Lancecrossfire. Yep- the first person I think I actually kind of talked to on here (as opposed to just posting comments). I remember- it was in the games area after a long, back and forth word game. I don't remember which one it was, but it was fun. I should venture over there again sometime. I haven't touched the games section in probably two years.

RG, you were here before I got my account activated in April 2001. How do I know? Because I was really here lurking since August of 2000 but didn't apply for an account til April 12, 2001. And because you were the one who made my member folder for me.

Ms Bat and Kaili, the grapevine tells me that the new board isn't a whole lot different in look or operation than the current one but it has a sharper look to it and there are things which are easier to use as they are right at your fingertips. No clue about all the technology that goes into stuff like this as I'm fairly low-tech but trainable. I guess we'll all see on Tuesday evening. Yay!!

The changes will take a period of adjustment for everyone, no doubt. It will be a process and the only thing we can ask is for your patience. There is no option (i.e. once we move we are not moving back), so it is best to jump in with both feet, learn about all the new features on the board and have a ball. Yes, there will still be the new messages feature, although it too looks a little different. Overall, it is the same, it just looks and feels new. After a few weeks and months, you guys won't even remember this old setup <ModIL>

Kaili--I remember that! I've been in the game area for quite awhile--although have changed games from time to time. If you are into trivia, Tess runs a great trivia thread. There are a number of regulars--and it's always nice to get another any time. Jan--I remember the name Jasper.

I am still curious though...do I need to change my bookmark? I have it bookmarked to go straight to the new messages page. I love trivia- maybe I'll pop in over there sometime. I miss the riddles thread. That one was a good time ;)

I joined in July 2000 after following a link from the Big Brother CBS Chat site telling posters about this BigBrotherFanClub site.....and I've never left. I originally was Egbok77 and before the start of BB1, I asked Gail to drop the 77 from my Egbok nick. I remember being glued to the computer to watch the free livefeeds. Also, joining this board was a big step for me because at that time, the internet was new to me and I was very green. TVCH posters have been my kind and patient teachers over the years and because of Squared (remember her?), I've learned how to post in teal. And I continue to learn stuff here all the time! I love this place!!

Eggie--I remember the 77 on your name. I'm getting all sorts of memory jogs from so many posts. Wine that is only a few days old?? Errr, any have a diet coke?

Remember her? I forget to tell you guys- I had a dream about her a few weeks ago. I don't remember what was going on in it- but I know she was there. Well, here. Whatever.

Our intention, and so far it looks very much like we'll be able to achieve it, is to make the new board as easily accessible as this one. Most, if not all, bookmarks should function without any modification. At least that is one of our goals in upgrading the way we are going to be doing it. Mod hd

Did someone say champagne?? Kaili, let us know how the wine comes out after you make it and age it. I've made a number of batches of home brew--I love wine, and know first hand that it's much tougher to do well than beer. (although kits do help with that) I don't see many folks having problems with the change. Things will look similar. Neil and others have put a ton of work into this upgrade. Think of it as going from a base model Cadillac (or some other nice car) to a Cadillac that has more features. It's still the same car, just a nicer model.

Okay- thanks Did you guys know I'm a (board) orphan? Completely without (board) family? Sniff. Champagne anyone? LOL- I'm okay with that. My old roomates used to make beer. It was horrible, but I smiled and drank it just the same. I wasn't a big fan of ales and heavy beers back then though.

May I suggest to take a quick jog over to the adoption thread! I am sure you will quickly be scooped up by someone. I think by now if you've been adopted, you are pretty much related to everyone--LOL. This works well, until someone starts having kids--then the authorities may pay us a visit.

Well there you go!....I've got a reason to pop the cork and start drinking champagne!! LOL!!

It's a big commitment. I'll have to consider that one for awhile. I am, as it is now, and only child. Am I ready to take the plunge? Will there be a family reunion coming up anytime soon?

Did you guys know Fly's birthday is on Sunday? I think...I was looking at the birthday thread this morning. Can we have the new board Sunday? It'll be a birthday party! Well, I guess a delayed one would be okay Sillycalimomma....I never had a sister before either (or brother for that matter). Maybe we can get Eggie all drunk and she'll be wanting more children?! I don't want to let anyone down here! Do I have to go there to make it all official? Will you be a reference for me?
