(205,297 posts)I often think that we don't celebrate Milestones like we used to. Do you remember newyawker99 and her Milestone threads? How she kept up is a mystery to me, but she never forgot anybody whether it was 100 or 10,000!

(29,655 posts)wish I did, she sounded like someone who cared for everyone here with keeping those milestones.

(205,297 posts)I think I found DU in January of 2003 and newyawker99 welcomed me, as she did so many others, on my very first post.

(65,010 posts)I was an early adopter here (winter or early spring of 2001 i think) and was welcomed by her. Then with lots of new people jumping on i would see her welcomes over and over.

(205,297 posts)I'd never been on any kind of message board before and I kinda panicked when I got a reply on my first post! But it turned out to be newyawker99, welcoming me to DU. I think that was in January of 2003 and she became my first friend on DU. We were mods together in 2007, my first term as a mod, and she did such a stellar job welcoming newbies and acknowledging Milestones, I can't help wondering what happened. We've seen numerous threads about that over the years, but nobody seems to know for sure, not even the admins. All I know is that she wasn't well.

Congrats on 15,990.
