NEMB is now over 22 years old!
I think we should be able to register it as a historic site at this point.

New colors...ish. New-old colors are back in play. I felt like updating something so that's what happened. :) 🠈 I think these "new colors" have been here for a few years now.

COURTESY RULE: Use an asterisk(*) to denote messages without bodies. Even if you don't a (nm) will be added to your subject line anyway but make sure to put that asterisk in there... you know what, even put it in there if you have like half a sentence in the body... that's not really a "full" post anyway so you might as well throw that bad boy in there just because. The world is your oyster! Use discretion or don't.

"code" class added to CSS for "pre" tags in message bodies. (Ex: ≺pre class="code"≻)

Threads sorted by activity and regular buttons are back.

Might as well show this years rotting away pumpkins as well: Link

Oh that's so sincere! I bet it gets visited by the Great Pumpkin!

Here's 2019's rotten pumpkin pic! link

Keeping with this weird pumpkin tradition.. here's the 2020 pumpkins! First one made it to the back edge of the yard: link
Second one wasn't so lucky...It rotted too bad on the porch and just got kicked off the side: link 2
I honestly don't know how I don't have a pumpkin patch growing in the back of my yard with all the pumpkins that have been left there.

No rotten pumpkins yet for 2021.. They're still kicking and looking good from October even though it's now December. I guess we'll see how this month goes and how these pumpkins hold up. Honestly, I think this is the longest I've ever had pumpkins last for!

Well... January was not kind to them. One is completely gone, another in a well rotten state. The bumpy looking one is still holding strong some how. I wonder how far we'll make it into 2022 with that one staying solid? Link
