My inbox was emptied, as always with a New Year, but, unlike prior years,

[No Elephants]

the messages were not automatically saved anywhere. My saved messages ended with the year 2010.

I did not notice that last year. I don't think I was posting at the beginning of last year.

And, no matter how many times I check to be remembered, I have to sign in every couple of days.

So far, I have remained here simply because I saw no reason to leave.

Now, I may start staying out of pure spite! (j/k. Staying just out of spite wouldn't be worth it.)

[DainBramaged]

1. You are a great person

:hug:

[No Elephants]

3. Because my mailbox got emptied?

j/k

Thank you dainbramaged. Coming from you, that is a huge compliment.

I am humbled.

[Divine Discontent]

6. what a nice kinda randomly timed compliment he gave you

what made chuckle was your last two lines about staying now just outta spot! bwahahahaha. yeah, I noticed our messages were gone. they can steal our history but not our spirits! we will haunt this joint even if they turn out the lights!

BOO!

[No Elephants]

16. I'm glad I gave you a smile, DD.

That is about the best one can do on the internet, isn't it?

I can't even give you a real hug. :hug:

But, smiles are no slouches! They are almost as healing as laughter.

So, consider yourself mooned and really LOL!

14. No Elephants' messages vv ^u^

I ate them

[No Elephants]

17. Actually, I went to my inbox to look for the image hosting site that you had mentioned.

Turned out I had bookmarked it.

[Enthusiast]

7. Yup............nt

[No Elephants]

18. Awww, thanks. You are all too kind!

2. Lucky You

I have not had an email here in over a Year, so I wouldn't have noticed.

Hang in there. :grouphug:

[No Elephants]

4. Thanks. I probably get some because DUers are too well-mannered not to respond when I pm them

Most of the pms I got before The Rapture to DU3 were asking me to rec and/or kick some thread or other.

Argh. Another thing I don't miss.

P.S. I just tried to send you a pm but got an error message saying that you had hidden your profile.

Either you have me on ignore (wouldn't blame you in the least) or everyone sees the hidden profile message and that would explain why your inbox has been empty for over a year.

I have no clue about DU3, though.

[formercia]

5. That would explain it....

I don't remember turning off my profile..Hmmm

I wouldn't put you on ignore, no matter how much you remind me of my ex-GF....:rofl:

[No Elephants]

8. Well, you were for her

before you were against her.

:spank:

[formercia]

9. Not against at all. Never was.

Sometimes one has to make difficult choices, regardless of the pain.

[No Elephants]

10. I'm sorry, formercia.

I thought from what you posted before that you did not much like her. I just trying to make a joke.

I didn't intend at all to put you on the spot.

:pals:

[formercia]

11. Me too...lol

:hug:

12. Good News

The messages are still there, but you have to click on the archive URL and change the date listed from 2010 to 2011 or
2012. The absence of 2011 is also a concern if folks are logging onto archive site to find an old message, I think...

[Leopolds Ghost]

13. ^^^^^^

The absence of 2011 as a pre-existing link, I mean. You can still access it by the above method

Be sure and click the link! I assume it's not a user-specific link

I wonder what happens when you get a new PM, does it appear in your inbox as it carries over? I still PM people on DU2

[Leopolds Ghost]

15. see above n/t

19. I love your problem-solving spirit, Leo. Thank you. I'll give it a shot.
