When Did You Join CAF?

[Joe_5859]

I abandoned my newer account.

You abandoned your random alias, you mean.

I saved the chart I had compiled with all of the info on rankings:

When did you join, Joe?

1. So I’ve been here for 12 years. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

You joined 1 year before I did. I joined in
2008. I was a forum elder. I think I had over 20,000 posts.

At first I just asked questions before I dived in.

Didn’t PuzzleAnnie make it to Forum Elder?

That’s a person I miss. She was lovely. And she stopped posting one day, I hope she’s well.

 

[F_Marturana]

I think all the posts in the old “water cooler” were lost.

 

[Irishmom2]

Yes, she was a nice lady. I always wondered what happened to her.
And BaltoBetsy.

puzzleannie hasn’t posted at CAF since February of 2012.

In 2014 someone created a prayer post for her and another poster stated this: puzzleannie - #38 by mommyof4

It’s a reference to a comment on a blog post that had to do with RCIA which would be right up her alley.

February 2015. I celebrated my fourth anniversary a couple of weeks ago. I had no hassle at all with the changeover. I was off the air for a few days when it happened, following a computer crash, but as soon as I got that sorted out, I came back and carried on in the new CAF format without a hitch.

I had a different username. I joined I think in 2004 or 2005.

When the great forum switch happened I could get on because my password, so I started this new account.

She did. I’m trying to recall when “Forum Elder” was added as a membership ranking. It probably was before she stopped posting. She’s still one of the top 20 most prolific posters despite not having posted for 7 years now.

I do think of and pray for her occasionally. When I joined, she was really the first poster who “stood out” to me because she was always pretty knowledgeable and reasonable and had a username that was easy to remember. If I recall correctly, she was also involved in religious education, which is what I was getting into.

I just checked her profile and she has received 19 likes despite not having posted for more than 5 years before the forum started having likes. People are still deriving benefit from her posts even many years later.

I think I had just graduated to being a forum Regular a month or two before the infamous CAF switch.

I was rather disappointed.

I was rather disappointed.

I’m still disappointed
