Longacre

How are things in the coin world? Your very own Longacre has not been on for a while, but I was waxing nostalgic and logged in. I went into my private messages, and scrolled through the old times. My first private message was from August, 2004, which, incredibly, was 18 years ago. I almost began to weep, seeing all of the screen names and the back and forth. Messages from Dentuck and the Coinosaurus brought back fond memories. Interactions and banter with RYK provided a special smile on Longacre's face. I hope everyone is doing well. I need to check out some threads and see what I missed. I need to do a search and find my first thread. I am sure it was memorable.

Welcome back, Longacre!

Time to put on your non-smoking smoking jacket, kick back in your overstuffed armchair with a snifter of cognac and refresh this page in anticipation of all the "welcome back" messages. Is Consuela still on staff or has she moved up to managing your staff?

Welcome back. Time marches on. I just rec'd my 'Ancient Membership' badge, which means that I've been here for 11 years. I had to LOL, when it said, 'Nobody can remember a time when this person wasn't a member'. Hope you stick around. Consuela can assist you with your posting.

The smoking jacket is lit!
Er,

Hope all is well... please start where you left off as I always enjoyed your posts

Longacre

Omg! That picture. How did I forget? And Consuela did get promoted. She brings Longacre his smoking jacket and snifter of brandy each evening

Well hopefully you’ll stick around a little longer than the short pit stops you’ve made over the last several years
Nice to have you back.

you will probably see it but if you don't there is an archived "radio button" to check to get into the really old stuff.

last time i did this i remember a lot of the first threads were blank or the pages were blank so it may take some doing.

happy hunting!

edited to add:

once you search by your name, archvie, forum etc and press enter to where you are on the 1st page of the list, you can see the url above, the page number, you can just change that number to jump around significantly easier/quicker but you won't see that page=X until you go to another page other than 1.

my page 507 is blank as-is many before it, so i started putting in like page 300, 350 etc to get to the "real" last page/post.

you can bookmark some/one thread that is old and perhaps not have to search it again?
