    Kevin James
    Iluvsocal
    Worldcom Tom
    Wayne
    Kenny
    Rich
    Estabon
    dobby10
    Aiwapro
    Leah
    Diverdown
    Apoc
    Tony (the original)

    Right, I remember those names. Leah was one of the first handful of sign-ups with you. She posted a lot then disappeared...she worked at SunCom.

    I remember about the same as TonyE
    I came across this site (the WA) in Nov 2001, but did not go to the boards, If I remember correctly. I went here again in the summer of 2002 looked around and that was it. I was on the boards all the time in the summer of 2003 and signed up in the fall 2003 to ask a question about who was the wireless providers now in my hometown and now here I am.

    For the most part I refused to post to the old site before registration was required. Way too much spam.

    What makes you so sure that it's not me :D?

    Anyway, I found WA in January 2003 and joined here before registering at HoFo :). Both sites have their perks, they're part of my daily routine :).

    Isn't there a site on the web where it takes screen shots from different websites from different periods in time? I thought I remembered reading something about that... you know, where we could call up the WA forums from 1998 or something. That'd be pretty interesting.
