Hi again, Hatrack. I tend to pop back in a couple times a year. I just made my 775th post and saw that I registered in 1999 and my member # is 524. It surprised me. Are there any other early members still around? I think I know about twenty or so of you from having good conversations on here over the last 10+ years. Thanks.

:: waves :: Most of my posts here are under the username "Noemon", which has a member number in the low thousands, I think, but lately I've returned (mostly) to my roots.

I think I originally had something in the 900's, but I lost the log in information and I don't even remember what username I used back then. Oh well
I never posted on it anyways, I was just a lurker.

Yeah, I never posted much either. I did enjoy lurking and reading all the great threads here, however. I think it's neat that this forum is still going strong after all these years.

I was hanging around Hatrack when I could have had a 3-digit number, but never registered in the forums. My original account is in the low 1300s. Alas.

I haven't seen aka around lately under any of her various usernames, but her original account on this iteration of the forum is two digits, isn't it?

She posted a couple of weeks ago in the Kristin Lavransdatter thread, so she does still post from time to time.

Any of you old school hatrackers ever meet up? I think we did a couple times in Kennesaw, GA. Ketchup Queen (i think that was her name at least) and a nice couple that lived in Kennesaw, and a couple others met up. It was fun.

There have been a number of big meetups over the years, though I don't really know how well represented the oldest of the old school jatrequeros have been at them. Among the biggest gatherings have been Endercon, Kamacon, and dkw and Bob Scopatz' wedding. There have also been innumerable smaller, more intimate gatherings. I generally prefer those, myself.

Both wenchcons were in Kennesaw. I'm not sure any of the super old school Hatrackers were there, but a bunch were at KamaCon.

We had a couple gatherings when I was still in Madison, and I'd be willing to bet I've seen fellow Jatraqueros at signings here in NC, but I've not officially met up with anyone in ages.

I'm Keith. I'm so bad with names! There was a couple that was on here that was active on the forums, but it was ironic because the husband didn't actually like OSC books.
Carrie, I'm in Asheville, NC all the time visiting my brother's family and some friends. It is awesome up there. What a great city to chill and hang out with good company. I hope everywhere else in NC is the same.

The original Hatrack River Town Meeting members from AOL were transitioned to this new board, and the user accounts were set up pretty much in alphabetical order.
But Scott and Kristine Card came in at 200 and 209 for some reason... Don't know all the rules that went behind it..

Didn't they go from that to Big Mouth Lion to this?

Yes, I started on the forum in the Big Mouth Lion days. We got asked to try out the new forum, and a number of us registered, then later on the old one went away and we made the transition completely. The order at some early transition of the new forum was alphabetical with capitals first, then lowercase, so that if I had capitalized my AK, I would have had member number 2 or something like that.
The registered date didn't start showing up until later, at which time those of us who had registered much earlier got that "A Long Time Ago" note in our registered date.
