Short version: As a public service, former pre-2006 OD members who want to claim archive accounts may PM me here as well. You will receive an email address and password with webmail access at http://webmail.weremight.com - you may then forward how you like, change the password, and access your account. Please let me know your old OD handle, and if you want me to set up forwarding for you, your email addy.

UPDATE: We are in the process of rebuilding the old (2006) forum on a vBulletin base.

Okie - you have a PM.

Any new member who was a member pre-2006 should PM with your old name. You only need to do this if your want access to the archives. Oldtime members (and any new ones who want it) will be receiving a free webmail address to your_username@weremight.com -- these can be forwarded to any address you like, or you may control your new account via this new webmail.

I'll PM you back with your randomly generated password, which you are welcome to change. Tex, Okie, and Sert, I'm pretty sure who you were back then. :)

I'll let you know when the 'test mode' forum is operational. The archives will initially be password-protected. It will be at least 90 days before full access to the world, 'release to web', occurs.

This thread is a help thread for people having trouble finding the PM system ;) Click 'Messages' on the left, and send a PM to me ('Macrobius').

Alternatively, contact me at macrobius ZAT weremight NOT com
(funny spelling to put spammers off the scent -- tricksy, eh?)

In any event, send me a PM with your pre-2006 username if you will be wanting full access to the archives. I will PM back your username and password. The location of the new archives is TBD. You will initially be signed up to myusername@weremight.com, and you will have webmail access to http://webmail.weremight.com to access this new email account. Feel free to forward or change your account details once you are in. Your weremight webmail and OD archives account will be synchronised to start.

Tex, Sert, and Okie I'll be PM'ing you with details as work progresses.

Okie, check your PMs.

People who plan to be movers and shakers in this project (or volunteer gofers! We need lots of those!) should join Whitespace -- link in my sig -- and then ask to join the 'OD Alumni' group.


Since my SI sig doesn't have it:
