It's been a while.
Now here's a good one. I actually joined Absolute Write around beginning of 2008. The site, I believe, was still under construction at the time. I made regular visits for a few months but nothing seemed to be happening. After my last visit, May 2008, I gave up thinking the site was dead.
Found a link to Absolute Write through a post on another site, and tried to join, but found my preferred user name was already registered. (Always considered the name Mysteral to be unique) So requesting a password reminder led me back here. Perhaps I can lay claim to being the first member...LOL (if anyone wants an autograph...)
And I see my original signature is still here... hahaha
