Does this mean anything obvious? These are the errors I found when I open a Cellar reply window. I don't understand any of this stuff. I may have to switch to Chrome for the Cellar.

How long are post stored?

Undertoad · 05-27-2010, 01:54 PM

I'd love to say forever, but once I die, there'll be about three months of unanswered invoices until they pull the plug on the cage.

Oh come on, surely you have the datacenter information and account number written into your will? Someone would take care of it.

Undertoad · 05-27-2010, 02:36 PM

They would have to figure out how the tip jar works, otherwise my assets won't cover the bill.

There were 76 (if I counted right) "Guests" viewing this thread

and only 1 visiting the current one.

Since that thread is linked from the current IotD it may be spiders indexing.

I have a question...

... How long has this website been running? (Or, rather; How old is the oldest post on this forum?)

Also - Did the forum come, before the IotD? Or after?

So many questions.

I love this forum, and the IotD... Been browsing both, for years, 'til I finally took the plunge, and became a member. Y'all were very intimidating, somewhat like an elitist "old boys" club... Some of you still seem that way, but, for the most part, you're all very kind, incredibly weird individuals.

I think, what I love most about this place... Is that you'll let just about anyone have whatever opinion they want. Everyone has a home, and no one is left out, or even (fully) shunned, by the community.

... 'cept Republicans... But, then, that's their fault, isn't it?

The Cellar history

tl;dr: Started in Sept. 1990 as a local BBS; first public access to Usenet and email in Philadelphia; converted to telnet; then to the web in self-written software; then to vBulletin in Jan. 2001.

God-damn... It's been on-line as long as I have.

... and it's almost as old as me!

Cellar, I salute you.

I'd say it's time for an update to that history.

And they all lived happily ever after?

Undertoad · 06-02-2010, 02:39 PM

What to say though?

The increased IotD interest
- the foam
The addition of chat
The addition of moderators
The addition of the tip mug
The products: T-shirts, mugs, Monster calendar
