General Chat

on the boards? On the back of the thread from 2004 just re-appeared by somebody who has been a member since then but only just posted ??? or only 1 post.

How long did it take you from registering to jumping in on the boards. ?

I first dipped my toe in chat when it was rolling chat and stayed there until they removed it (almost) :-0 :-0

First post was about Feb 2004. Only joined in Dec 2003. Never looked back and still waffling on now ;-) :-D :-D :-D.

couple of years before I ventured on to "Chat" - spent my time on FA initially

I should have said that it took me a couple of months watching the boards before I put my 1st post up

a few minutes

Been a member for over 10 years but have only been posting for about two years. I don't know why it took me so long.

I've been a member for nearly 10 years.

I think I took a couple of years to post on the boards.

Now you can't shut me up. :-D

ssshhhhhh!!!

yak yak yak yak yak

:-D

Joined May 2003 posted on Chat early 2008 but did look-ups from the start.

The early chat board was difficult to follow as one post followed another, no threads like now.

First joined December 2003 was asking for a look up really came across rolling chat and was chatting when an obnoxious person on rolling chat sent me a PM told me to go away and it wasn't polite.

I answered her politely but she told me I wasn't allowed on the chat and to go F*** myself and get off the chat.

After that I stuck around just to annoy her/him and thought well if that's what GC is all about I didn't want to know so deleted mt account and joined again 2004.

When I first joined it was help on me tree, and I certainly got the help, some lovely people helping me out.....

Took me about 10 months before I started using the Chat boards after joining......

I left for a while and came back

:-D

I think I waited a few months
as I was far to busy doing my tree :-D :-D

even now I sometimes stay up all night if I have a good lead to follow :-D

More or less straight away in 2003 but didn't go on chat at first, wasn't there a general board as well as chat?

I watched for a couple of weeks after joining in 2003 then posted on the genealogy board. Watched General for a while longer because there was a huge row going on.

Posted on there when it was over.

there was always a row going on in them days.........LOL

inadvertently I was in the middle of one of them

Bob

there were always big rows on Friday nights

I joined GR in 2007.

My first posts were on the Ancestors Board as I was trying to find my grandfather, Clifford.

I also posted about my paternal grandmother's family, the Coe's.

I received fantastic help, much of which is still on-going.

It was a while before I posted on General or chat as I felt a bit of an 'outsider' but once I did......there was no stopping me.

Not even the various RR's that I've had have put me off ;-) :-D :-D

I joined in 2004, started my tree, looked on the Ancestor's Board, and was posting on there within a couple of days

I was helping within a couple of weeks .............. those were the days when someone posted a request, but all replies had to be sent via pm


I looked on General and Chat a few weeks later ................ hated what I saw, so never posted.


I did post on one of those two about 2 years later (2006-ish), and ended up supporting JaneyCanuck (remember her?) on a thread against someone who knew sweet fanny adam about Canada.

Within an hour, I was accused of being "that nasty sylvia under another name" :-S and then I was accused of being JaneyC under another name. Several of my posts were RR'd.


I returned to the Board about 2 days later, and got in the middle of a huge row ...........................



I didn't post again on General or Chat until about 2008, I just kept well away :-)

It's just coming round to renewal time for me from first joining up in 2005. I think I found the General/Chat boards etc in about May of that year, with my first thread about breaking the bed and buying a new one

I have made some lovely friends since then
