Vote 'was a member before it was hidden'.
But we were here before it was here, IYKWIM. There was much more going on before the board was hidden. First as part of the housing board, then having our own "quarantine" thread, then getting a board, then getting the board hidden. All with different people appearing along the way. Gen, NDG, Dopester and !!!!!! were always among the core posters back then though.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

And Cleaver and lostinrates.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

And Cleaver and lostinrates.
I think Cleaver came a bit later but two star posters no longer with us (in theory) were DD (a great believer in reincarnation) and mewbie, plus oh Carol.

the sockie wont know which back story to run with.0

And Cleaver and lostinrates.
I remember before cleaver was here. It was all about mewbie in those days.
But the rest were alreasy a posse before I came. In fact, I remember now, I arrived when we were thinking of buying a place in zone 6.....when I was sure I'd be very little more than a bed bound person unable to write anything coherant ever. That place ...admitedly in zone six, was a one bed place on a tiny plot of land...and had a demolition order. It cost more than we paid for this place.
Over the time I've been here what we looked to buy and what we bought changed dramatically and for the type of property we plumped for I think we got a good deal and a very much more informed deal.
however, what we could borrow also halved. We've ended up with smaller mortgage, and a different sort of property.
I think I was here when we were a sub forun, not a forum of our own. Support from some of the regulars has helped me improve my health and change my outlook on life, has made our choices more informed and more longterm...I think.
This sounds like a good bye speech....0 -

mewbie, Mr Broderick, FC123, oh can't remember everyone. Can remember Dervish though, sadly! Oh and the 'Dad' one too who kept returning under different 'dad' sockies.
Ah, the good old days..... or perhaps not, though?
PS and I also remember Graham Devon and Pinkfluff meeting up.0 -

Pray tell the Dad had more than dad sockies, he is with us today in one of his incarnations 
Dervish, now what that was classic. 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0
