I can't remember if this site in its original form was 1999 or 2001, I remember MPL from 2004 ? Can you verify this MPL? I remember Mich and TD.

I was around on the original boards, but I don't necessarily remember when I started. Pretty sure I wasn't around from 2001.

I joined YM when it was under MSN IN 2001ish. I moved to KY in 2000 and it wasn't long afterwards. TD was already there.

I joined in 2008 when it was under MSN. I only remember the year because DH retired that year and I was learning to budget monthly instead of biweekly.

I was pregnant with my first when I started cruising the MSN boards, so about this time in 2001.

I remember 2004 and I was pretty sure you had a three year old so that makes sence. Was that the nursing school era ?

I think 2003 or 2004 for me. Good times. Lot of characters.

Yes, my ex left in Spring of 2004, I went back to school that Fall. It was a big cluster. I don't even remember the order of things. I know I got my CNA license and went to nursing school at the technical college and back to the university. I didn't finish nursing school, but did complete my bachelors in 2005.

I know I wasn't here that early; we moved to the KC area in 2003 and I joined after that. I remember the transition in 2009, though. The MSN people tried to talk up "Bundle", which was some new site that we'd all love, and it was a real loser. I just checked the URL and although it was a bad link, it apparently became pat of Cap One and was shut down 3 years later (according to some info in the search engine listing). I'm really glad we were able to migrate elsewhere.

Based on this I think I showed up around 2003, which is longer ago than I thought. I was around awhile before your ex left. It's not weird at all to be so poor at remembering dates as to have to remember those dates based on when some "imaginary" internet person had significant life events occur.

At one point I actually saved that epic "What Now?" thread I started that went on for a good 6 months. I think I copied it all to a Word doc or something. I wonder if I still have it? That was many computers ago, so probably not, but it would be cool if I could find it though.

Does anyone remember "Buying a car in New York"?
Someone should write write a book from that thread, if they snagged it before MSN pulled the plug on YM.

Oh yes, I remember that thread. I so wish some of the old posters came back. Dr Max and MillerTheLarge and that old lady Zuli (I think that was her name)- she had all kinds of ideas. And minnesotapaintlady - I remember that thread of yours, but I was fairly new back then so probably didn't comment at all

Zuli was around on an offshoot board until a few years ago. Pat visited her in Oregon and I think she might still keep in contact with her. It would be nice if she came back.

I think i was first around 2006-8? I know why I started looking, and that would be the range.

I found the MSN boards when some similar AOL boards were shut down. I lurked for a while on the MSN boards and finally joined shortly before they shut those boards down. If these boards get shut down, well, then, clearly I am the reason, LOL. I go back to ToughTimes and Dr. Pig.

Well that is a coincidence then !! I have just been trying to remember for myself and I can't remember if it was 2001 (when I moved to my new house) I thought it was 2001 but something is niggling at me for 1999.
I have no idea why I remember 2004 and MPL and nursing school and Sam. I don't remember much of MPL before that but apparently she was here too.
Saviour faire is one I remember.
