I got home from Christmas shopping at 9:45 P.M. friday night and started checking my E-MAIL. Then at 10:05 I clicked on my IW icon and 6 sec.later I was there and that was with 56K dial up but it was a ghost town, it said no Visitors were on-line and there wasn't any new posts I thought I'M the first to use the New server YAHOO!! I'm not first at many things lately so this was very cool, Firday the 13th and I'm #1. nobody had posted anything since the 4th when IW took the dive, It was like finding an old friend after many months even though it was only 9 days what a good feeling but it was really wierd being the only person there for more than an hour when ghost's (non-registered visitors)started showing up. For awhile it was just really strange, you'd know the feeling if you have ever been in an empty store all by yourself you feel like the last person on earth, the only person in the world.
WELCOM BACK
P.S. this server is so fast I can't believe I'm on dial up tonight again 6 sec. is all it took to be at the forum home page from windows E-Mail this is great!!

Well, I am glad this paid off.. I seriously went to bed unknowning if I inserted the correct DNS servers at netsol.. (RR didn't provide the name servers.. dorks).. so I took a wild (but good) guess, and I grinned WIDE when I saw 7 people on the forum when I woke up! GREAT FEELING!!!!

Don't remember exactly when, but I landed in GD once with nobody there. Great work, Ziroc, getting all of that hard work done in such a short time.

Lioness, good to see ya. Is Prep School out for Christmas?
