What everyone else said, but with kel_be as the mod that first came up with the idea! Whee
Quote from nutter218 :
Iagree I don't think Brisar was a mod back in '06. (But if she was, I apologize for not remembering!)
That was the one question I wasn't sure about so took a guess at it. I was a lurker back in April of '06 and didn't hang out much in the lounge. Boy have I made up for that! laugh out loud
