22. I miss A Day In The Lounge, the UGRR, and most especially, Mina.

I haven't spoken to her in almost a year now. I MISS YOU, MINA! :cry: Where are you? :shrug:

Come greet your Aristus! :*

:loveya:

[jus_the_facts]

2. I gather that this "A day in the Lounge" is a feature

that no longer exists?

Care to expound on this to me, the noobie?

Thanks!

5. Lounge Mods would take turns posting...

...a Daily Thread. It would have milestones, birthdays, etc., like NY99's threads, but would also have other cool features, and Daily Questions.

I can't find one in the archives tho...but I'm posting and playing with my son at the same time.

7. Thanks for letting me know!

You do have your hands full, I think!

:hi:

6. My Dear Ms. Peggy...here's an example....

10. Thank you for this fascinating link!

I just finished reading most of those posts......

I did not know DU existed back then......too bad! I know I would have loved it......

Quite a few things have changed. For instance, now you have 1000+ instead of showing the total post count.......

Wonder why they went to that?

But of course the overall format is very similar, so it's easy to navigate around in.

I appreciate your hauling this out so I could read it!

:loveya: :hug:

[jus_the_facts]

13. You're most welcome....

...if memory serves..they decided that huge post counts were intimidatin' to newbies and sorta showed a hierarchy around here...so they changed it when we had a major software overhaul.

:hug: :loveya:

9. Here is a sample

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. And I appreciate your efforts too, my dear SoCalDem!

Fascinating, all this old archived stuff.....

Some of those posters are still here......and some are not......

:hug:

[jus_the_facts]

14. Thanks for that too....now I can read even older archives....

....I enjoy readin' around in them sometimes when the present isn't as interestin'! :hi: :hug: :loveya:

15. I like to visit the "Old Days" too...

It;s fun to see the "first posts" of people who are now old timers:)

[Capn Sunshine]

16. Thanks for the link SoCal ; it reminded me

of the day we changed servers to the "new" DU. We were all competing to be the last post in the Lounge before it blipped off.
I chose that moment to change my screen name. See if you can guess who was the "old" me.

[SoCalDem]

17. Capt Mike is the only think that comes to mind

but then my mind is going..g o i n g....g....o....n...e these days :)

[SoCalDem]

8. I don;t miss DOING it much..but it was a nice way to check in..

Waaaay back when I did it, I got in the habit of trying to post it before midnight Eastern time, and sometimes I would be late and people would PM me complaining, or start "mock threads"..no one remembered that I am WEST coast..and for me it was only 9 PM :grr:..(just kidding really)

It took wuite a bit of time to get it all together and research all the birthdays & milestones.. I still find my stenopad occasionally with the stuff on it..

and then the "Last post" award I started turned into "something else" too, since some computer "experts" figured out a way to "win"...

I do think it was a worthwhile feature:)

[rbnyc]

12. I kind of miss doing them.

I can't find any of mine tho.

[Pithlet]

19. I think I only ever did one.

I never modded the lounge back then, but I think I remember doing one to help out. I definitely wouldn't mind bringing them back, but mine would probably suck. I'm not good with graphics. I do miss those days.

[rbnyc]

20. I remember that.

Wish we could search prior to 03.

:(

[SoCalDem]

21. You CAN.. all the way back to when a name was chosen for the Lounge

Here's the link..gotta scroll to the bottom and click archive..then go number by number :)

fun fun..

[rbnyc]

30. I just spent half an hour searching.

I can't remember when I was a mod! LOL

I've got to get working now. I'll be back at lunch.

[In_The_Wind]

18. Gee ~ that looks so cool!

It would save lots of PMs asking "What did I miss".

[Zomby Woof]

25. Not really

I had other things to do, like hijack threads. :evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

27. Why you little PUNK.. I oughtta... I oughtta

and to think I probably welcomed you into the 700 club or ordered some of your coffee.. and you dare to tspeak vile words about the "A Day at the Lounge" thread..

[rbnyc]

28. You!

You can hijack my thread anytime.

:)

26. As a relative newbie, I hadn't heard of this

but it looks like y'all had some fun.

It's funny how some things change....and some things remain the same.

:hi: rbnyc!

[rbnyc]

29. hi!

I might post one some morning just for fun.
