6351. Things like wb for welcome back, etc. I didn't know they were old. I guess that means I am.

6352. Turkey chili for lunch. Just starting to snow, so it's a perfect day for it.

6355 if I threw an AFK out there, only a certain group of long time users would probably remember it. It's like asking what music you listened to in college... instant era identification =)

6358. I don't know AFK, but I think each board has its own abbreviations.

6359 away from keyboard - I haven't seen it used in a long, long, time. I used to be a Wiz at a Palace site... feels like a lifetime ago.

6360. Oh, I've heard of that but didn't recognize it. I never got into scrolling chat; just message boards.

6361 the old palace wasn't either of those two... it's still is hard to explain, but it was as if you had a 'live' cartoon going on. Each user was a character and spoke in bubbles.

6362. What an idea. I'm a latecomer to chat rooms and such, and I only had a few I visited.

Here, there, everywhere.
6363. It's not like it's incredibly busy, but there's still life in the AW Chat room. And afk is used often.

6365. I popped in once, and didn't stay long due to RL (real life) distractions.

6368 I wish I had the hours I spent moderating chat rooms back.. sort of, I mean someone had to do it (bravo to you Sara) but back then we have had 2 or three mods and 400 teenage kids visiting the site at once...

3669 I lost sleep over it, worried over it, lost weekends to it - just because making sure those kids had a safe place to play.. was important. And it was, and it still is. =) But I'll never do it again. My dues are paid. =)

6371. My hat's off to the mods of ANY forum. I only have mod privs on one forum, but if we get more than 10 people on at a time it's crowded, so I've never had to be modly.

6372. Why did they take the link off the top of the page? I'm not sure I could find the chat room now. There's a subforum with the links, right?
