Talking Wow, old Forum!

Scrolling through the members list earlier, I noticed that some members have been around since December 31st, 1969. This can't be true!

Do I have to explain everything to you? it's much older than that, look up your Bible:

Quote:
Genesis 1

1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 - And God said, Let there be Texas, and there was Texas.

4 - And God saw Texas and that it was not good enough.

5 - And God said: I shall compensate this by what follows.

6 - And God said, Let there be http://www.ww2f.com, and there was http://www.ww2f.com

7 - And god saw http://www.ww2f.com and that was good
All the rest is history.

8. Then God said, let me look at this Texas thing again, I think I can do better.

9. So God said, let there be Alabama, and it was.

I'd expect no less, from a Yankee! like yerself or a furriner like Miguel!

Keep this up, and we'll have to kick Alabama out of the Confederacy.

Shoot, that can't be done. The Confederacy was started here. Jefferson Davis was sworn in as 1st and only President of the CSA not 15 miles from where I am presently sitting. So there!

Go to El Paso and you can see the mountains there. We share the range with New Mexico.

http://www.visitusa.com/texas/images...-mountains.jpg

Go to the East and you will find lush forest.
Go to the Northeast and there are rolling hills
Prairie up North.
Hills in the Center
Desert out West

You name it, we got it.

Yeah, back in February we switched from another software to vBulletin. All members were imported with unknown last activity dates. The default was set to Dec 31st, 1969 which is actually the birth date of the modern internet, which is why it was used.

How in God's name did this become yet another thread about Texas?

By the way:

Catholic Online - Saints & Angels

Quote:
Almighty and eternal God,
who created us in Thy image and bade us to seek after all that is good,
true and beautiful,
especially in the divine person of Thy only-begotten Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
grant we beseech Thee that,
through the intercession of Saint Isidore,
bishop and doctor,
during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee *
and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. **
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
We need a lot of this in this forum


* so forget about that porn you are browsing in the other window
** especially Texans and Alabamians, but that's the apocryphal part

So basically, those who "joined" in 1969 are ghost members who have not posted since the transfer to the new provider? Can't they just be discharged for desertion after a certain while?
