Sadly, yes. I have been at the Pub for a damn long time. I decided to go see if I could actually do something about the avatar rather than just gripe, and found my original sign in for this version of the board (I showed up first time just as that long thread board was going out) Oh, my entry date? November 2002. Just had an anniversary here. Let's all say holy crap, now.
And hey! We're having an old Pub style conversation right now. More posts this month than in the last year I'd hazard. Yay for us and the Pub.
