Justine "And also what the heck has happened to all the oldies..." well, had a quick look and a few that have disappeared; landmarker, yvonne, DW, willowbankbear, cocoa, patsy, pultneytooner,
dreadnought, coolio, arikara, mamabear, dozerboy, tillygirl, donnas, connieB18.. And suspended at the moment; bingobabe, fred, ice box, kaishowing, melted wellie, moonshadow..

I was there too once (suspended) but sticking with it, and hopefully contributing to the forum, with me bits and pieces.. Fred hopefully back soon, as although did not really ever agree with him it was lively!

Anyway, welcome to the newbies!

I meant old time orgers, not their ages...Well as for what makes a orger, except for posts IMO is, honesty, fun,opinions,justified comments and wisdom.Not jumping on peoples backs for getting a spelling mistake or even an opinion on a thread...

I know some of the newbies are old time orgers under new names,like i have said before it is easy to change your name but it is harder to change your personality..It shines through the names. maybe people changed their names for more reasons than none.. i am just curious as to what kind of threads people enjoy reading or writing about...

Very true. I know from experience. Coming back to a place after 5+ years of inactivity isn't easy. It's a bumpy road. Things change. It's like going on holiday and coming home to a different town. You don't recognise anybody, all familiar faces are gone. You don't know how things are run anymore, what is done or what has changed.

True, you can adapt to a new enviornment. But first you must know it, and to know it, you must learn it, and to learn it, you must unlearn the old one. Something which I have not been able to do yet.

Cant imagine what that must be like.I grew up in the army no stability and trying to fit in, but being the type of person i am i find it easy to adapt to many changes...
You will get there Flair, just keep at it....

I do believe you have to become an orger(written under your name).You have member..Just keep posting and it will change soon enough...

I think choosing a pronounceable username is one of them...;)
