Any original Wounded Monitor Children still around?

Just wondering if anyone still remembers the biggest mis pricing fiasco of them all. I ended up getting 50 bucks out of the deal but most got nothing. lol

Yo.

I think I got $50 out of that deal... or maybe it was $25. It's been so long I can't remember.

<- raises hand

IIRC that fiasco spawned the "Hot Deals" forum and all the bizarro stuff that followed.

I had ordered 5 monitors on 5 different accounts LOL so I got $50 for each one.

Weird all the members in this thread that joined in October 1999, does that correspond with the WMC event?

No, WMC was in 1998 I think. 10/09/99 was the date AT moved to Fusetalk from UBB.

Man, you actually got one. All I got was a check... eventually.

Didn't Russ somehow end up with two?

Nope, they had moved to Fusetalk long before that, maybe a year or more before. On 10/09/99 our member database died, and every single poster had to re-join -- hence the oldest join-up date you will ever now see is 10/09/99.
