Okay. I'm messin' with y'all, since I'm new and I need to introduce myself. :-)
I'm Witchhazel. Hi, everybody!
I noticed that my calendar said September 2001. Yet, the official Webnuns login page (and all the OTHER pages) say "2000".
Am I so smart that I skipped a year? ;-)

This started out as WebNuns 95, back at the end of 1997, and got a major overhaul just in time for the new millenium. I considered calling it WebNuns 1900, but what with all the Y2K hooplah I didn't wanna cause a panic. :-)

Of course, there will be a beta before hand. Can't have XP without a beta.

How about Webnuns O2 (like the water element, but it also being the YEAR)? You know, people can't live without WATER, nor bulletin boards. So, there IS some logic to it in there somewhere.

I like "2000" being in the name. It gives it that "dated" feel. It is also highly nostalgia in a weird way like seeing old "World of Tomorrow" film clips circa 1950 when the Year 2000 seemed like the ultimate goal of the future.
Then again, you could call the place "WebNuns in the Rye" or "Godzilla vs. the WebNuns" and I'd still bookmark it...

I already feel old enough without feeling DATED. ;-) So unless we're going full-on vintage-antique here... you know what MY vote is!!! And I kinda liked Webnuns XP! (The Webnuns eXPiation!) ;-)

course if you REALLY wanted to date the place you could call it Webnuns 1986.....wasn't that about when 50,000 Nuns and Orphans (A.K.A. The Nunnery) went up? Sooz started one shortly thereafter for a little while but I cannot recall what it was called anymore, I'm having a "senior moment" I guess. And Ralf (A.K.A. Rail Gunn) had one called the Curiosity Shoppe, I always loved Rail's joint because he was just so damned weird it was funny. he was always writing these off the wall stories kinda in the theme of Rocky Horror with his evil twin (really his alter ego) Skippy. Ralf, do you still have any of that old material in the dusty archives anywhere? I know I'd get a kick out of seeing some of that stuff again, if for no other reason than remembering the good ol daze. Rail's and Fang's joints kinda played off each other and fed each other. they wern't competing like xanga and livejournal do.... they actually reinforced each other, whenever one got a new user they were invited over to see the other place too. two bbs's for the price of one!
In the old days, there were three kinds of BBS's
Lame joints run by kids that shared the line with thier parent's phone and either had to run it only at night or at weird hours for only a couple hours a day. they usually lasted all of a week.
more "professional" joints that ran more or less 24/7 but were for warez only. you had to post a cracked program that they didn't already have before you could download anything, and there wasn't much that they didn't already have within days of the original release. and sure as shit if you DID find something they didn't already have you were disonnected halfway through the download (at 300 baud (later 1200 baud)!) or it downloaded but didn't work! and it often took hours of "war-dialing" just to get past the busy signal anyway!
and then there were the chat boards like this one. there were many different formats, one was the 6480 type that had diferent sub-boards but everything in the subboard ran together. there were others that didn't have subboards, and EVERYTHING ran together, and then there was the c-net and ICE format (there are those that insist they were the same program and others that insist they were distinctly different. from the user's perspective they were basically the same. it was the subject of some quite heated debate) that has been kinda-sorta duplicated here. at least here you can have a conversation without somebody talking to somebody else about some completely different topic as if you weren't even there.... AND it is instinctively clear how the system works (at least to me!) I've popped over to xanga and was completely bewildered as to how to post/ follow threads, etc. maybe this place has ruined me or maybe I'm not as swift as I oughtta be. but xanga has left me not only cold but cold and LOST.... and besides, I know most of the people here and I can viualise mental images of them as I type and I know how they are going to take my rant and I'm not usually surprised when i get a flame or two cuz I was expecting some heat. comfort has alot of things going for it. Like rox said, when I found out that Fang put this place together i just about shit myself with joy, I MISSED the old nunnery, and was beside myself when it rose from the ashes of the web. Fang, I know you are burning out. I know how you feel, but I gotta tell ya, messing with the format would not be my ideal idea of re-invigorating the board. personally, I think more people like witchhazel would be the answer...
and that concludes the rant for this evening....

I'm a newbie. So, what's the traditional "new girl" treatment? Is there an initiation or somethin'?

Most folks here are probably too young to remember that "once upon a time" I, too, was quite the prolific erotica authoress and co-conspirator with the Lady Tess.
Does that make me Gabrielle?
