I'm glad to see that - I had been wondering where she was but I know she takes breaks. She didn't forget her password again, did she?
To be honest, I joined in 2004, so I guess I don't have much to add along "Old School" lines, but the real name thing makes me sad. I mean, I know quite a number of poster's real (at least first) names, but I would never think to call them by their real name on the forums anymore, and that was something that was more common when I was still a newb.
Most of the time I don't care what a poster's real name is but it makes me a little sad that we have to be so guarded. Of course, real names and linking between different social media sites/blogs is what leads to livejournal stalking, personal threats, etc etc by the cray crays.
