Hayley, I used Tips for ages as General was too scary lol

However, I suddenly found it quite addictive (like a soap opera) and there were lots of fun threads,

I've only just found my way back to the genealogy boards.

I've found general chat a bit slow lately but it seems to be a bit more lively since you've come back from your cruise :-D

oooh It's my anniversary today of being a paying member although I don't renew until next week as GenesConnected gave us a free week a few years back!

Hayley, Naah, I meant it in a positive way. I thought the boards have been more lively since you pushed your toes through that snow lol

Thankyou Gwynne :-D

Ann you can see how much Hayleys talks ;-) you've been here 3 years longer and only posted a few hundred more posts :-D

I took a while to join even as a free member Ann, I remember my aunt telling me about it but I was wondering why I should pay £5 to join whilst I'd been using a great site like Genforum for free lol

I did post on the boards at the start under my real name lol (however, not very often)

I remember when they 1st changed the boards to threaded posts like it is now and people complained lol I remember the owner posting to say that he couldn't win lol as people had complained until he made the changes in the first place.

Nothing much changes does it?

Rose, I think we were on dial up in the beginning and I didn't go on the old, old chat board much which was when the posts clocked up the numbers. and when Daff was here we spent a lot of time chatting via messages.
