I'm new here.

Hi there everyone,

I've been to this forum as a guest before, but the link in Lois' signature at WHT persuaded me to join. Erm, I've been a member at WHT since mid-2003 (now that I look I joined exactly a year Jan (I think that anon-e-mouse's first name, don't kill me if I'm wrong). I've started a forum that grew to about 6,000 members, so I do have a bit of experience with forums and such, but this seems to be a nice little community.

Anyways, this forum looks great, your holiday usernames are awfully clever, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

"When I'm not in my right mind...." That one? ;)

We're pretty friendly here, with a good mixture of seriousness and play. You sound like you'll have a lot to offer. It's good to have you with us. :pink:

Hi Doug :wavey:

Welcome to FU!

You're right, there are some very interesting smilies here, particularly the pelephant -> :pink:

[SoftWareRevue]

I love that lil pelephant. :luv:

Heya Doug! :wavey:

Welcome to FU! :welcome:

We look forward to your sharing.

Kinda hard to share the :cake: around here though. It goes pretty fast. So, be sure to grab some whenever you get the chance. :)

Welcome to FU Doug! :wavey:

What's the name of your community that you built that has 6,000 members?

[Doug]

Thanks for the welcomes. Bob, that community has since been sold, and the new owner basically destroyed it. The forums (for some reason) were closed. I can show you a backup I have from before I left if you want. Just PM me. :)

Hey doug

[linux-tech]

I can't tell you where for most of them, but I can tell you who (http://www.forumuniversity.com/campus/member.php?u=1). He be the one who sets the tone of this place.

Yeah, don't mind the old man in the corner, often times found napping on his own couch :P

Welcome!

[Doug]

:P Well, maybe that's why there is one. I only my chair which sorta leans back, not an entire couch in my office. My laptop comes *soon* though, so then I can nap wherever I want, as long as there's wi-fi. :pink: is too cool for words.

[spechackers]

i too joined the same way, i like WHT admin Anne and his signature made me to reach here, anne is very good person i have met.

[Jan]

WHT has a new admin? Can't say I have seen him yet ;)

[Aussie Bob]

And this WHT admin Anne is also a he? :D

[Doug]

Moderator, perhaps? That still leaves the question as to the gender and naming, though.
