I "preside" over all of the boards.
Power is right on target though, most times I am watching over the main board.

There have been times i wanted to jump in so bad I had to buy a new monitor because of banging my head on the screen.
I feel I know most of you and your traits already.

Even if it is a problem with us we like to know about it so we may offer you a solution of some sort.
In the end though it is you the users who own this board and we are just here to keep it running smoothly for you.

There is no DNA to prove anything on the modlings that happen to show up after I did.

I suppose you need money?
Ahh but see I am old in heart and young in age.
If I plan to live to be 300 I am but a whippersnapper.

Actually, yeah, that'd be nice.
Good, I have many years left to harass... I mean, love you.

2001 WB boards

But if you knew how to, you could search posts on the Angel board that started in 1999
In 2000 & 2001, there were no post-counts or titles next to posters' names. I think they started the pop-up threads, post counts and ranks April 2002.
Useless info, I know, and it's not that my memory is pathetic, it's pathetic what I remember.

The only difference now is that you can respond to us. (not counting the edits)

I'm still laughing in a nervous way over his 'Free at last!' post. What have we unleashed?!

The oldest thing I remember about the WB boards is the Adventures Of Rory And Her Pet Chupacabra thread... although I can't remember the chupacabra's name. I don't think he liked Linkin Park though.

Well, he DID say that he's a 'young' Gramps, so he just might be a hottie. That SO works for me.

That fell out of it.
I would never avoid work.
