I must be missing something... talking one on one in a PM is very different than in the public forum.
That is 1008 post somewhere on the forum? That number is not how many messages you got... I think. When I was talking to a gal here for about 6 months I would say 1008 would have been low. We talked everyday, multiple times a day. Sometimes for 3-4 hours straight. But that was a long time ago.
Yeah... I gave I think $50 way back. Guess that is why yours says Lifetime and mine just says supporter
I was a site admin for several years back in the 2000's on a pretty popular site. So I can appreciate the work/effort people do to have one up and running and especially to police it.
