Happy Late Birthday to the Mote!

29180. bhelpuri - 10/5/2020 9:47:10 AM

21 years of Le Mote + some 4 years being in touch via The Fray, Yahoo Chat and WorldCrossing before that. when this all began I still had hair on my head, and now my oldest son (whose birth was announced on this site) will himself turn 21 in just over 3 months.

a long strange trip, indeed. salute to the Motards!

Hey Major, a salute to you.

Greetings, vonK!

Where do you live these days?

Seems like whenever I come by, I wonder if the site will still be up. And still, it persists!

I think maybe I first came across the fray when Bill Clinton was in office. I didn’t post much but read articles on Slate and was entertained and enlightened by the lively and sometimes contentious debate.

Congrats you guys on what has to be one of the longest runs in Internet history. I suspect it has pretty much run it’s course but it really has been a success.

Hey, to my shame, the mote was down for nearly a year... Probably somebody told me but I had other stuff going on at the time [insert embarassed emoticon here]
Wow remember the days before emoticons?

29187. Ms. No - 8/31/2021 8:59:10 PM

Thanks, Alistair!

Gonna start trolling folks to see if anybody's still around. :-)

Wow, we're back! I just renewed the domain name a week or so ago.

Hey AC and Ms. No, great to see you!

29189. Ms. No - 9/3/2021 3:43:54 PM

WABBIT!!!!!!

I'm so glad to see you!

I kiss you!

29190. arkymalarky - 9/3/2021 6:05:38 PM

YAY! Group hug!!

29191. arkymalarky - 9/3/2021 6:09:31 PM

Wabbit, gotta let you know that dad's hanging in there at 90. Winding down pretty fast now. I'll tell him that I "saw" you. Hope everything's good with all y'all. I've missed you.

29192. wabbit - 9/11/2021 1:45:47 PM

Hey Arky - tell your Dad hello for me! So great to see you and Ms No again!

Twenty two years ago today we went live, hard to believe.

29193. alistairConnor - 9/19/2021 6:36:06 PM

Hey folks.
Hum... I wonder what would happen if we sent out a "reminder" email to the entire Mote database?
80% bounced emails, no doubt... but who knows?
Actually, that's a scary idea...

29194. arkymalarky - 9/19/2021 6:46:49 PM

Worth a shot. I did that a long time ago and got busy with real life and stopped in the middle of it, but I got Mostly non responses, some hellos, nice responses, and a few hell no I wouldn't come on back On that site if they were the last people on Earth.

29195. arkymalarky - 9/19/2021 6:47:59 PM

I will Wabbit. We're going over there tomorrow

29196. vonKreedon - 9/21/2021 5:40:55 PM

Yay! The Mote exists once again! Hi all!

29197. arkymalarky - 9/25/2021 1:24:06 AM

Hey VonK!

29198. vonKreedon - 10/1/2021 10:32:43 PM

Hey Arky, happy October.
