getting rid of clubs? why..... read
#41
honestly i don't see how cutting the clubs out will be that bad....
like what has been said before, we are already working on a master list of clubs that will provide links to more info about them.
if you have no funds to get it up just get a free yahoo group or something similar.
it wouldn't be much different than what is here now. just in a different place.

No, the internet first came "live" in October 1969 while I was in the central highlands of Viet Nam. My first post to a USENET news group was in 1982 while I was at Bell Labs, although the oldest post of mine I can still find using Google is from March 7, 1983...
The "1983" WAS a typo! It should have been "1984" when my first server went on-line as 'tijil.'
As to my 'domain' being a decade older (1984) than the World Wide Web (1994), I offer up the following link that at least shows it existing since 1986 in the official 1991 records (internet map): http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/refe...bak/u.usa.wa.2
(To find my server scroll down about 3/4 of the way in that page to 'tijil' which was the name of my server in Kent.)
My server carried e-mail and Usenet news for seven years...
I can't seem to find earlier listings of my server using Google, but the records are probably out there somewhere.
My domain is STILL tijil.org
As a last gasp of this little off-topic excursion, and an attempt to pull it back to Scion, here is my original internet server, "Boris" which had the 'tijil' domain address on-line from 1984-1991, sitting in my xB on his way to a packaging/shipping company last year. He was donated, complete with documentation and about 100 eight inch floppies, to a small computer museum in Illinois.
And lastly, Boris happily running, on display, at his new home in the middle of America...
(Sorry to drag this off topic, but I couldn't resist talking about Boris, who in many years of service only ever had two failures in his 24/7 service: His hard drive failed once and was replaced, and his 'ON' indicator light failed and I never bothered to put a new one in.)
OK, back to how to handle the club forums going away on ScionLife, everyone. :D

but yea the internet was around long before civilians were allowed to access the WWW.

Wait, I just looked at your account and you aren't a premium member anyway. Are you saying that you paid and you didn't get upgraded?

I don't think you were a premium member, if you were email me. This discussion is locked... the decision was made and I think the alternatives were discussed. Thanks for understanding, guys.
