I love Microsoft Essentials. I thought you lost everything when you reformatted?

Get Microsoft Security Essentials, and scan anything before you save it.

If it's just a few years of clutter, then a fresh install will fix everything and documents won't have an effect.

If there's a hardware problem, then it'll carry over even after the reinstall.

Spot on Barbara. It was sooo much easier to interact. People do use our themes, they just don't want to talk to us I guess. lol

lol At Angela, it would take more than a towel to get the wet from behind my ears. B, you sell yourself short. I think people would follow you just like John.....particularly if your site was set up like Skem9. We all loved it and after you had been around a while, the site was easy to get around in. John surely wasn't around much, it was just the site and the people there, like you....I could always count on your help with things and that goes a long way. Skem9 was so much more to me, personally, than FB or MS. It was a place to learn, not just read that someone just went to the mailbox or on the way to the shower. Sheesh. Look at the two weeks or so Skem9 was back up....look at the interest in learning Skem9 layouts again. As hard as Angela tried, that is something we could never get people interested in at SA. Sometimes I think I make the layouts just for my own pleasure....probably true...because of the lack of interaction. At Skem9 that was a daily ritual. Looking at and rating everyone's layouts. People commented....well the regulars anyway...and you knew people were using your stuff. Not to mention what a great learning tool that was for me. And for one of my layouts to be on top of the Top 5 list, made my day, week....I know I need to get a life, but it was great. I think people would come over, like it and stay. I think it would be a hit!

I go on PB and look at my stats and have never heard of the sites that show up there. Unreal. I hope we can get something together! You guys have put all the time and effort into the generators, so you already have that and it always amazed me at how many people used the MS generator at Skem9. It's just easier for me to edit the code. I think people would get back into making their own layouts for the new site and would genuinely get back in the groove of the Skem family like it used to be....drama and all. Ummmmm....we would need a generator for the coding for the new site....John never made one for Skem9 and that was why so few people made those layouts. That code is such a PAIN, but I loved the end product:}

You do, but AnGella mentioned backing up her stuff onto an external hard drive. I was suggesting to scan it before she put it on the external hard drive.

Again B, you under estimate yourself. You were legendary on Skem9 and you may just find that Skemmers would follow you more readily than some folks that have disappointed everyone so many times.

AnGella said:

Ha! That's why we love you B!

Brandon P. said:

Ehh, I think you were probably more social than I was. I mainly just posted crude jokes, and was tolerated because I tried to help people. =p

So the reason I was sorta freaking on finances is that we just had a lien filed against us for the Association dues we are behind on. They are going to let us make payments, still sucks tho.

Most of the sites I am finding in our refferal reports are using the new design studio...
We may need to phase out with the 4th year beginning... what do you think?

I will say this.

John provided the site.
Mr. Evil provided the mentoring.

Feedback would be appreciated.
