I'm probably not on the list you're referring to - I don't remember ever seeing about signing up for anything.

Perhaps you might have missed the topic, but it was posted on Testing last November. Check out "I Was Wondering If You Were Accepting New Members?", currently on page 12.

There were a couple of other board topics too from which member names were gleaned, though the vast majority of the notify list consisted of potential members rather than standing members.  This is because the only purpose of the notification email was to contact fans that had directly expressed an interest in joining or (in far fewer instances) to notify members that had asked about the reopening on behalf of another party that's interested in joining.  Sorry for not being clear about that.

We haven't yet announced the reopening on other sites because individuals who were on the notify list are still registering and it's easier for us to help new members when we're not being inundated.

Welcome Padre Jim!!!

PadreJim may seem like a new cousin, but he's actually a long lost cousin from the glory days of DS discussion on the Sci-Fi Dominion boards (before out of control trolls and all manner of other horrors took over there (think the way the DS NG often operates nowadays - not that I'm pointing fingers [laugh]) back in '98, prompting us to create Dark Shadow Forums).

Welcome home, PadreJim!  [hello] [9341]

BTW, if any new cousins are wondering why they don't see their names on the Cousins Posting Categories chart, check out "Where do You fit in?" at the top of the Testing board.  [smlyg]

Again, welcome to all!!

Grayson67, when I saw that name I figured you must be the one, with the real name of Melissa, who used to be on the SciFi Board and who wrote some good stories!  In fact, there was a very exciting one involving Julia's niece, which I think was heading to a conclusion and never got finished!!!  Welcome back!

Josette - nice to see you again!  I can't believe you remembered, but yes that was my story¢â‚¬¦ which unfortunately my old computer ate in large hunks when it decided to have a breakdown. (On the plus side, in the midst of doing a dozen other things, I've been working on rewriting it on and off for the past year, so maybe at some point it will see the light of day again).

Hi Grayson!  Actually, by now I have such vague recollections of it, that if you did get to the ending I'd have to at least skim or probably reread the whole thing to get into it.  But I remember that it was at a very exciting point and it seemed a shame when it just stopped!!
