It would be interesting to have a board time line, with all the dates of the major board changes, and people could fill in with other boardquakes large or small.

There have been three different board configurations, if I remember correctly.

THat was the first Board. Can't remember where it was hosted... Lemme think... Before neilgaiman.com the blog lived... somewhere else, and then neilgaiman.com was launched (it was very basic) and there was a link to the Board. I think it went live a couple of days before the 15th, but it was unstable and a lot of posts didn't register.

Then we had this Board, but it was different: grey, white and red, no avatars, no sigs, no "personal zone", no PMs... And there were fewer forums.

First time I show up I was Penpen, but i lost my password so i had to re-recreate a id enelopeia

and the first time penpen shown up it was the june 19th...
and it was because i bought my tickets for neil in london and i met a girl here and e met also in london... but i missed clover who where there...

thanks clover! glad to know i'm not the only one who can't remember .... plus, i'm twice your (announced) age so it's a relief!

still, what matters is the Board is still here and has just celebrated its 6th birthday with many more to come! so.....
