Whew! Hatrack was down for a long time. SOOO glad it's finally back up.

We'll have some catching up to do.

Oh man.... That was a loooong time.

HOW COULD YOU JUST CUT ME OFF COLD TURKEY, HATRACK.

I've got withdrawal shakes.

So good to be back. Soooo Gooood.....

Ok, I'm cool now.

I notice we did get a mass email from KDW but it was some time after it went down. It would be nice to get a mass email either prior to it going down. When that is not possible, getting one mass email when it goes down.

The notice would be nice is all.

But I am glad to be back. Hopefully it won't go down for again anytime soon.

Sorry about the delay on the email. (There'll be another delay while I figure out how to send a "We're back in business" mass email with this new software.)

I didn't send anything right away because I wasn't notified either, and I kept thinking it would be back up quickly.

I guess I waited too long to email the webmaster and ask what was going on, and I apologize for that.

I did send the mass email out as soon as I knew.

But I agree, it would have been nice to have been told in advance.

Happy to be back...things sure look different when you've been away awhile...

By the way, I found by accident that I could get to some of the underlying posted pages from links on Google. I suppose if anybody wanted to see what was being said in the old board's final minutes, they could Google the topic or some phrase they used in it...of course, they'd have to remember it...

(I didn't think to try to post anything---the one that came up was several months old.)

Oh my but that was too long to go without my daily Hatrack fix. Praised be it's up a running again. Now, just maybe, I'll be fit to live with again. At least my husband should be happier .

Someone here want to do an experiment for me?

1--Post a "test" reply (just put the word "test" in the reply). Once one person does it, that person is my experimenter, okay? I don't need all of you to do that.

2--Once there is one post that says "test," I will tell you want I want you to see if you can do.

Thanks.

So i noticed we've been all assigned number, Ms #59. My question is, whose the ellusive #1? What happened to the other 58 people who proceeded you?

Despite arriving 2705 members after you did, I see Robert is less than 200 posts from you. When he passes you, should we call him He Who Must Be Obeyed?

Posted by Kathleen Dalton Woodbury (Member # 59) on :
 
Thank you, snapper. I'll respond to your second post after I tell you what I'd like to do in the experiment, okay?

3--see if you can delete your "test" post.

Thank you again.

I checked the registrants, and there is no #1. Of those with numbers from 2-58, who all registered back in 1999, only 19 have commented more than 9 times (comments numbered in the double or triple digits), and only 5 of them have commented over 100 times.

I don't know why my number is 59, because I registered on June 30, 1998 (before the others). <shrug>

And, no, you may not call Robert that, because he's not the administrator. Verbosity is not a measure of must-obey-ness. Sorry.

4--Please let me know what happened when you tried to delete your "test" post?

Yeah, right.

Just another thing I'm trying out...

It disappeared. Gone.

Okay, if Robert passes you can we call him King Hatrack? Maybe you could change his hatrack name to reflect it?

Posted by Kathleen Dalton Woodbury (Member # 59) on :
 
Thank you, thank you! People can delete their own posts in this version of the forum.

Again, thank you for conducting this experiment for me, snapper.

If Robert were to change his hatrack name, he'd have to register all over again. And all of his messages would be attached to his old hatrack name. And then where would he be?
