I'll make a more official post later, but for now, to put the mystery to rest... When Todd and I began LUGNET, years ago, the member pack was a fun project done in our spare time as an 'extra' thing for our new friends as they joined up. It was a (...)

(...) Is there anything that we could do to help make the membership packets happen? For instance, could we pitch in a few bucks to help with the cost? It might be cheaper if you had the membership cards, bookmarks, etc. printed at a professional (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

I just took a look around in there, but didn't see the box right away. If I did locate (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Andy, I'm sorry there has been so much confusion about all of this. A large part of it is my fault. As of 14 Sep 2000 we intended to remove all mentions of member packets in the activation emails that go out. However, at that time, I missed a (...)

I joined a little over a year ago and remember seeing this about a packet. Since it never said what was included I just figured it was some paperwork, maybe an "official member" card or certificate, or something with the Lugnet logo to (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

There is also still a large section about membership packets on that page under the "All Set?" header near the bottom. It really is sad that we have over 1000 members who are still waiting for these things. Bryan (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
