    I'm old. Not over 60 old but close. I have ran a few forums like this and modded on a dozen more. It was the social media (we never called it that} I got my feet wet on when I first hooked up our dial up Dell desk top computer sometime around 1999. I still belong to a few and hope they never go away,. Most have died off. Some had many thousands of members and many were lucky to get a hundred.Now even the largest forums with thousands of members only have a few dozen that really participate.

    I have never did myspace, Facebook, Twitter, or any of the things that have came since. They just seem unorganized and harder to follow for me. These old forums you can pick a topic and follow the thread right on down. You don't have to click again to see the replies of a post, or get forced to see the highest rated reply not in order. Just a shit show from what I have seen.

      Having hernia surgery today. That doesn't make my day. The fact that it's here and will be over after a couple months makes my day. Besides I couldn't find any other place to put this. I'm in great hands. The surgeon is a fellow Yooper.

          I've had two of them. Last one was about 25 years ago. Not fun, but don't remember a particularly long recovery.

          While I was recovering from my first one, I watched a standup comedy show that had a young Drew Carey before the Drew Carey show. I remember regretting watching it because laughing was really painful.

          Take care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery!

            ------------------------As soon as I started reading this I said Oh no. I've already had a few instances in my short time. Have to try and avoid that.

                Loved the Forum article and the Peppermint analogy.

                Hope the recovery goes by fast, DanO!

                  Yes on both counts.

                      I'm putting it here, because this forum often makes my day :-)

                        Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke turned 99 this past Friday, and Coldplay did a video with him recently.

                        Enjoy!!

                            Since our game today doesn't look good in the slightest, I'm glad that I posted this earlier today.

                            Oh, I have to admit this: I've never heard of Coldplay.

                            I only posted this because I'm a big Dick Van Dyke fan.

                            🙂
