    Actually, that date was when the Webboard (Somersoft v2) site was launched - your account would have been backdated based on data I was able to use when I launched the current version (Somersoft v3). Were you on the original version of Somersoft (v1) ?? If so, you joined well before March 2001!

    Technically, it is relatively simple to migrate content from this site to the other. Unfortunately, that is not an option - the content on this site belongs to Somersoft in its role as publisher (while the individual authors retain copyright over their own content). PropertyChat does not...
