Hi Jan or Shrubbery. And thank you for some history. We are very glad you started this board and have kept it going. Improvements sound exciting. Can scarcely wait to see what happens in time. Happy New Year to you and thank you again for a wonderful board. --Previous Message-- : As some of you may have noticed, this board is : now on the 55,000 message plan, so you'll be : able to search in the archive for older : posts. So far it will be for six months for : $142.44 USD (that's the most Boardhost has : for a package, that or pay $24.49 a month). : Eventually I will put up a tip jar for : anyone who wishes to contribute towards : expenses. : : When I have the time to do it, I'll be : tinkering with making this board better. : People should have the ability to edit or : remove their own posts, and registered : members will have added abilities, as soon : as I figure out what they are. : : On to an introduction! My name is Jan : (female) and I live in Urbana, Illinois : (USA). From a previous thread started by : Nellie, I notice that there are a couple : people who live one state over from me : (Indiana). : : Around 2001 I created one of the first : website dedicated to royal jewelry. After a : few great years (including an international : phone call to an Indian newspaper to : complain about them using pictures from the : site and information without giving credit) : the Tripod site got closed down due to a : complaint from a person who went around : filing complaints about copyright. : : Even though the site got removed, other : sites sprang up to replace it. This message : board (and a couple of others, due to a : board scare) also stayed strong and true. : We've been fortunate to have great members, : as well as real live experts in our midst. : : After a big move and a major change in my : life, I still kept my books on royal jewels. : I hope to new members, as well as the old : ones mingling on this board, sharing : information and interests. : : Thanks for making 2011 a good year for royal : jewelry, and let's hope for a glittery 2012! :
