Hey, how long has everyone been a regular here? I have been here for a
little over 2 years now (first as rmpii, now Whitecrest)

I am seeing fewer and fewer of the regulars that use to frequent here
Dan (from Spain)
Chip (Colorado I think, he had some good Christmas stories)
Even ISO has not been around.

Must have gotten bored with the same old threads. Different Subject
titles, same content... over and over and over.....

Eventually you will all come to the DARK side! behoaaahaaaaaahaaaa

Long enough to have thought that the subject line meant a spam for Viagra

Interesting thought, and one which I could not remember! The Google groups
archive has my earliest post as being 1999 way back when I was all of
17yo, and it was also interesting seeing what I posted!

Javascript browser redirection, DHTML flying text effects, if it's tacky
then you betcha I mentioned it

I would say thats probably a good part of it:

In most newsgroups (most but not all) you could visit for awhile, then leave
and come back a year or more later... when you return there will be some
discussions that are the same old ones still going on, but there will be
plenty of new ones

Around here thats not the case: when you first arrive here its all new and
there is plenty to talk about, but after you've been here for 2 or 3 months
you see that the posters are different, but the questions and comments are
pretty much the same... they are so much the same questions and "help"
requests that this is pretty much one of those groups where if the FAQ was
really good and people bothered to read it, there would be very little
activity in the group (there would be some, but not as much)

A little over two years, but I lurk more than post, as it gets boring
when the same questions repeat over and over again... all in all I gleen
more info from lurking than from becoming involved with posts... and
again I come from the far corners of the unknown web known as WebTv
Land... so probably many still distaste my comments (unfortunately)...

Google shows my first posth here as being June 5th 2003, so not very
long. I think I came around the time most of the oldbies left.

I know I do. I've thought about programming a bot to answer the
repetitive questions before, but never had the time.

I have lurked here since 1998.......one reason the questions and comments
are familiar is the discipline
the members of Alt html have in keeping discussions on topic. I came here
with a WebTV, changed to a computer, Learned a little html, got some style
(sheets), and will eventually have a tableless layout for my site.
This group gives my computer a personality that changes, even if the content
doesn't :>)
