h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hmmmmm. If you remember your original researcher number, (a) you'll be able to find out when you first registered, and (b) you're even more anally retentive than me.

I was here for the first xmas party

I've kept the same number throughout

Ah, happy days... *wipes away a nostalgic tear*

You know the days I mean, EV

EV's one of the few who've been here longer than I have

*raises one eyebrow*

Well, I came in about 18 months - 2 years after it started, I only got a 5 figure UN

Two too much of an effort for the OAPs these days?

*waves his walking stick at Pastey in a threatening manner*

Where is it...oh yes, it's 91632

*feels she should make everyone a nice cup of cocoa*

Hmmm, shouldn't you old codgers be in bed by now?

DaSilva, i arrived in Dec 99 and am 106090, so you must have been before that.

Just checked my first U no and it was 38935, I think it was about June 99.

*goes to look*
The first thing you wrote was on June 13th 1999, so that makes you as much of an OAP as me.

Better have a mug of Horlicks, I think.

*has a instead*

Must have been pretty interesting to see the site evolve though, I kept going away and coming back so I missed a lot of stuff.

Ah yes... the BBC takeover... moderation... Mark Moxon, you know, isn't it? Hmmm? Small boys, in the park, h2g2 t-shirts for goalposts - enduring image, isn't it, you know?

*realises quite how old this thread is*

Cripes, this thread is practically geriatric! No wonder you guys hang round here, makes you feel at home

Hmmmm.

You see, in the old days you'd have had to load the entire conversation again to see what I'd posted here, and it would have taken 28 minutes to get to this post, only to discover that all I'd posted was "Hmmmm." You can't wind people up like that anymore.

I remember that, before the little blobs arrived. My, they are handy. You could type something in the address bar to show more than 20 postings or something, I can't really remember. That was quite frustrating. has there always been a 'My Conversations' button, cos i seem to remember pressing the 'refresh' button a lot to see if anyone had replied, but I may be misremembering.
