Couldn't help but notice the announcement...

There was another forum I participated in that posted a similar notice and never came back but their main site still continued. I think it was their polite way of telling everyone to get lost.

Yup, cleaning house.

but I love my super low member number when everyone else is in the 1000's .

And I thought I was the only one who cared about stuff like that here

That's good that you like that because it may be about to get even lower. The first time they revamped this forum, I went back to zero, losing about 1000 posts.

yeah, I'll miss my "under 1000" member number, started in 2001. I guess now I'll have an "under 1000" member number started in 2008...

And I think a lot of us photogs notice stuff like that because we have ocd tendencies. I know it shows up in my images, too.

Hey, I have an idea...

Let's all renew under different names and see if we can pick each other out from just what we write...? Many of the shlubs here have such a distinct personality that it has to be an easy game.

since Ricard was member #5 - anyone know who 1-4 were?

#1 doesnt exist anymore
#2 Mason Resnick - the original moderator (hasn't posted since 2003)
#3 doesnt exist anymore
#4 doesnt exist anymore

Good for Ricard for sticking around after all this time!!!

just for kicks
#6 - Mike Werner
#7 - bart
#8 - Christian Harkness
#9 - doesnt exist anymore
#10 - Ken Strothman

and you thought there are no ghosts... Just for kicks, I should of posted with member number in negatives =)

Gents, please rest assured, the forum will remain a part of PDN. The move is due to the synchronization of the community part of the site. Now you will possess a single sign-on for all parts of PDN, thus upgrade of the forum software.

All posts will be backed up and available in Archive folders. Just hang on a few days while we get everything straight.

I guess 2000 was the first year?

it wouldn't be hard to recognize da food dude, no matter WHAT new screen name he chose!

I was so hoping to reach 1000 posts, dang nabit. Anyone remember dr.5 he had like 4000 posts or something like that back in the day, I'm really going to miss my low number, I feel so superior. Is the food dude dr.5 incognito? Just kidding food dude.

Doug, I had over 2000+ posts before this version of the site. PDN had a glitch, my post count zeroed out and I had to start over again with a new member number. Hopefully the majority of what I've posted since the forums began has been meaningful.

John, you are going to need to post more often on the new system to get your top (most) posting record again.
