J.R.
I didn't have the privilige of participating in the original AS Web with Brian. I first came along in July 2001 when KA had already been taken over by Pete and the forums had a black screen with brightly coloured usernames. Pete made me picture administrator because I knew how to edit photos for avatars and then he endowed me with the Chief Admin post. However, he was always there in the background steering the direction (and that's what made me think the new owner would also be the new helmsman).
I think the general re-registation came about when we moved away from the black screen a year or 2 later, but we've still got our original registration dates.
