It is really nice to see the old names reappearing. I know that there are more out there waiting to get their accounts back, and am pretty confident that as soon as we can, we're going to get some rather active forums up and running again.

Might need to put in an order for more smilies.

smiley - rose

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

I imagine, but am only guessing, that a lot of people may be 'looking' at what is happening, lurking as it were, but maybe putting off re-joining/attempting to reactivate pre BBCID/SSO accounts, until after the move... (Its kinda what I would think were I to be in a simular position right now)... Also, I've certainly a few Email addresses/mobile phone numbers for people who've effectively left/drifted away from h2g2 over the years, and I think I may drop them a quik line, but probably not until the great herding of the cats has occured smiley - biggrin and we've crossed the river to the other side... lead by the prodigal one, of course... smiley - snorksmiley - zen

2Legs, could you pop their names over here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F21551820?thread=8245491&show=20&skip=0#pi3 We're trying to compile a list of the Elves that we can potentially get back.

Mrs Zen

I tried logging into one of my role-playing accounts yesterday and couldn't, so I created a replacement account with the same content on the USpace and a link to the original. Which was promptly modded. Presumably because I was impersonating one of my own sock-puppets.

Talking of which

smiley please!
