How and when did Physics Forums start, and who runs it

[chroot]

I was made mentor 7-20-04. Just had my 2 year anniversary and NO ONE noticed. hmmpf!

I voted to make it a national holiday, Evo, but the Esteemed Leader of the Universe -- i.e. Ivan -- vetoed it.

Awww, thanks Astronuc!

All the better to sneak up on people. Maybe I haven't banned enough crackpots to earn my stripes yet.

Ivan vetoed it?

ME!? That's just an ugly conspiracy theory started by liberals.

That's actually Greg's new incentive plan to keep the rest of the mentors from quitting...we don't want to sound so old as "retired" makes it sound.

It took me a few tries to find an adequate server and software. Each time we had to wipe the system. Ultimately it was for the best as the first year was not very productive.

Yeah Snitz wasn't that great, plus as I remember you didn't even change some defaulted files that err... publicly accessible... hehe. Anyway... I remember... :)

Hey Greg, no not lost, but I am still in Portland. Anyway thought I would see what I've been missed, to be honest been to busy to post on Mac or any subject oriented forum for awhile.

You were MacTech, right?

Yes but lazy to request my account back, plus that name died really when I stopped posting at Spymac.

We were talking about you just last week. Seems a few guys fell in love with your old avatar.

Yeah just check out that thread... funny thing is that what prompted me to come back to PF was me searching my "mactech physicsforums" cause I wasn't sure if Greg had wiped the forums again and that thread was one of the Google results.
