I noticed that I am coming up to my first anniversary of registering with C4p. Happy birthday to C4p! Who was the first to sign in, I wonder? Has it been a good year? Yes, I think so. Reply to this message | Report message

Well I could tell you that if you're willing to wait. I think it's been a good year. Gone very quickly. Reply to this message | Report message

And an excerpt from that thread "We too believe that those who work deserve some wages. It says that somewhere doesn't it? So when the mods here get busy they will be rewarded." Mods, have we made you busy enough or do you need us to start now??? :) Reply to this message | Report message

And funny how, in the early days, ,many used different names so lots of guessing who was who. Of course, these names have now reverted to their current names! Reply to this message | Report message

Not a lot to do with false moustaches. More that I got in early, so I could choose a name rather than a series of initials, which is what I had in the other place. Anyway! I am delighted that the first year - nearly - has gone well. I wasn't sure when it all started, I registered on February 23rd. Significant that the first half dozen posters are all names that I don't recognize. Did they all change their names, or just drift off down the pit lane? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Yes So if that 'Is anyone here?' thread linked to above really is the first one, meaning ilikecars was the first c4p poster, he didn't hang around long - 3 posts and he was off. Or opened another account. Reply to this message | Report message

I registered on February 27th. Great, another year of my life blown on cyberspace. My father cut off his head and fried it in garlic in the hope of attracting my attention...I scarcely looked up... Last edited by: SteelSpark on Tue 1 Feb 11 at 13:35 Reply to this message | Report message

...I see Ling has given us her web designer.... Ho ho. She was in at the beginning - first day - if I recall, but not been seen for months. Lots of allegations about murky goings on with members' email addresses, and who said what to whom. I reckon some of it was true, too. But none of it amounted to anything, although it all seemed terribly important to her. Reply to this message | Report message
