And no one should get props for joining POOFA on 1/31/26 when they found out PAFOA was shutting down.

Also, there needs to be a membership option with banner for us to contribute $$.

And did you seriously make knight a moderator here, Jay?
Rank doesn't mean anything other than how many posts you have, with the exception site admin or Founding Father. PAFOA had the same thing with Master Member, Grand Member, senior member, super member, etc.

Currently the total costs for the server is $24/mo, with the domain name of $24/yr, and now email at $41/yr. The costs are very moderate, I spend more on beer. I don't plan to take contributions.

@knight0334 has proven himself to be level headed over at PAFOA, i doubt he will mess with any regular members. On the off chance a spammer gets in, it'll be handy to have a second set of eyes around here to take them out.
Ok, a second set of eyes makes sense.

I still want my blue screen name though, if you would be so kind as to indulge me. :)

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, blue is site owner. Red is admin, and green is global moderator. everyone else is white.

Frankly, going from Super Member on PAFOA to a "newb" here is quite refreshing. At 64 years old been some time since I've been called a newb at anything, thanks Jay, keep up the good work, Ill bet you have been busy the last few days, you are doing a fine job

That's racist.

I appreciate the kind words. I wasn't perfect about handling every situation at PAFOA. Sometimes I allowed my anger to show, sometimes I gave informal wrist slaps(like a PM for user to go clean up their post), sometimes it was by the book.
