Thanks WB but the start date is wrong. I signed on right around the 1 year anniversary of U-Talk. The first post I could find was in WOTT38 on Lounge page 58 dated 7/26/2008. A lot of active posters start date are right around 9/9/2009 not sure what change happened that reset the dates for some.
What happened is when the forums merged a lot of us were locked out of the U-verse forum until we re-registered through the Wireless Forum to get back in. And once we re-registered many of us lost our original registration dates. That's why many of us have the 1st or 2nd weeks of 9/2009 as registration dates. I was told by a mod it cannot be changed back even with screen shots as proof of the original registration date. 
WB, no offense to Wireless but the merger just didn't go very smoothly for the members on the U-verse side.

You're welcome, Escapee. So, Uniblurb3, what you are saying is that most user's registration dates are in the 2008 area, NOT 2009? I thought it seemed kind of peculiar as to why some of you were registered close to the same dates. I thought it was just a coincidence... 
That's alright, you should be taking offense to the REAL "Wireless Loyalists". I don't really see or know why U-verse got so screwed over while the other Communities remain the same they have been for years...? Hmm. That's one thing that makes ya think...

Actually WB the prior merger registration dates are over the board depending on when the member actually registered in the U-Talk Forum. I've had U-verse service since Oct, 2008 but didn't register in the forum until 02-14-2009. Believe it's Phil (hpmsrm) who may have been here at least a year before me but his registration date is now 09-14-2009, which is only 1 day before mine (09-15-09). I'm not quit sure how some were able to keep their original registration dates and it must have been the way some us had to register all over again through Wireless.
BTW, you can refer to me as Uni, and Escapee as SKP. I think of "Skip" when I look at those initials but spell the letters out. Believe it was Phil who pointed out some owners had those initials on their motorhomes as an abbreviation for escapee. They can correct me if I'm wrong.
The "_1" is added to any user's name when the same name was already taken by a member of the Wireless Forum and/or had registered prior to the user.
This is a real shame since they hold onto these user names for eternity, even if they disappear from the face of the earth, and do not need to be active. Example: here is the original member oz who registered on 04-07-05 on the Wireless Forum (U-talk didn't even exist then), hung out for 39 minutes, never posted, and hasn't been back since.
You would think after 6+ years of inactivity they could flip "oz" and "oz_1" and give our newly appointed Community Leader his original name back.
After all, our oz registered on 10-25-2008 and has 2 1/2 years of very helpful community service under his belt.

Alright. I now have a more thorough understanding of those registration date errors. I mean, it's just a date, but I would have liked to have my original one upon the date of registration.
Yes, I have seen you all use nicknames for each other over here. It seems that most have already taken an adaptation to "WB" for me.
