What'd I do?
Unless you are making some real mischief Shea it is not you. Just look at some of our new users profiles and you will see what I mean. Or maybe we shouldn't.

Since you brought the subject up, I had a little "crash" of my own the last few days. Noting a place that sets up "free websites," I once again entered what I tho't might be a nice name ... one that I've used *(WITH the copyright symbol)* on original X-stitch patterns/kits I've put together using them.sorry, should've included a
Well, when I entered it, it said it was already taken! What!? It hadn't been for years when I'd enter it, curiously. Thinking now I should not have ever entered it until ready to have a permanent website of my own ... b/c those places might just keep tabs of names people try/check out, and then spit them back *OUT* when someone ELSE is looking for suggestions!! Maybe would've been safe, had I not done this "checking on available names" every now & then.
Anywaaay, to finally get to the end of this already-too-long-story, someone with an X-rated site used *MY* name that I still have all over these kits/patterns!! (& even some musical stuff!) Sadly, "genuinely gina," a name I tho't up decades ago & have been using since, instead of a nice alliterative name I can use in the future on-line, has been STOLEN, it looks like to me!
HOW do I get it back ??? Just b/c I didn't use it on-line first doesn't mean it's not "my business name to use" ... does it???
Anyway, it saddened me ....... feel I even should put a disclaimer on what I have left to give out/sell, lest anyone associate me with that horrible site on-line! Yeah, I only saw the first page, but it was disgusting enough with shadowy profiles, a place to say folks had to be 18, etc, etc.

P S ** Is there a way for us to note when we actually joined NazNet originally? Then we can all somehow have this "history" as a part of our profile.

Unfortunately, there are certain names where this just can't be avoided. My friend Randy laments it on a pretty regular basis.Since you brought the subject up, I had a little "crash" of my own the last few days.

Hey Shea, why is your location "In Transition?"
Because of this
The word "this" in Shea's reply is a hyperlink to another thread. Hard to see.....Sorry, I'm lost.

That's right. That's why I usually add "underlined" to a link.

I don't think a user can do it him/herself, but an administrator can change the date if you want. Just tried it myself and it works. Had to think long and hard when I joined but I'm pretty sure we got flatrate internet connection in March 1998 and I do remember joining NazNet as soon as I got it.

Personally I like the fresh start of having all the regulars showing the same join date. There's something refreshing about it. But that's probably just me.

It's refreshing enough for me that I lost 11.000 posts. Plus all those in Ceilidh that were deleted long before.Personally I like the fresh start of having all the regulars showing the same join date. There's something refreshing about it. But that's probably just me.
