I remember the history of the Cooler Crew pretty much just as Terry described it. I remember Green as being very much wanted and quite invited to the new location, but she felt it would be violating some sense of loyalty to the Pioneer Press and wouldn't go. But the new forum was much like this one and compared to the stripped down, unresponsive (at the time) version at the PP, there didn't seem to be much reason to stay.
As for "stupid posts", I guess I'll say what I said before. If someone comes into the treasure hunt thread to specifically start discussing something other than treasure hunting while the hunt is going on, that would seem out of place. But at the same time, discussions that start on topic and flow into other subjects are fairly natural and part of what makes this a community and not just a collection of hunters.
Finally, I don't think you'll neccessarily see the volume of posts here during the hunt that you saw on the old site just because a lot of those posts came from people who didn't post a whole lot, but there were a lot of them, and I doubt you'll see them coming over here in large quantities. I think it's more likely you'll see whatever system they're using at that time taxed to it's limit.
Otherwise it looks like you guys have had the same sort of day I've had with my singles club.
Here's a little present for Lance that may give him a better idea of what we're all about.

Yes, I was hoping for at least some snow. I think there's less snow on the ground now than there was before this snowstorm was supposed to have started Friday night.

Welcome to the Hotel Coolerfornia
Such a lovely place
In this Medallion Race
Plenty of room at the Hotel Coolerfornia
Only once a year, you can find it here
Their minds are Medallion-twisted, tracking all the clues’ trends
There’s a lot of crazy, crazy people, and they’re all friends.
How they noodle the clues, thinking they’re all set.
But the mistakes they made last year, they do tend to forget
So I called up the Sysop,
'Please don’t make me whine’
He said,'We haven't had a monitor here since nineteen ninety nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Keep you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel Coolerfornia
Such a lovely place
In this Medallion race
They huntin' it up at the Hotel Coolerfornia
What a nice surprise, if they find the prize.
Buttons on the dresser,
Leftover boxes of fried rice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And on the Cooler boards,
They’ve gathered, now they’re stuck
They noodle it with their crazy thoughts,
But they just can't find the puck.
Last thing I remember, I was
Reaching for the drawer
I had to find the map back
To the place I dug before
'Relax,'said the huntress,
In spotters you will believe.
You can logout any time you like,
but you can never leave

Well, since our power was off, I slept from 6:00 to 11:00
I work 1:00am to 10;30 am
I still haven't figured out if that's nights ??
Oh yeah that wav song up there didnt work for me?
I had a lot of eBay things to finish up, so I've been working the double browsers.
Mine is playing on Quicktime, I'm not sure why.
I am going to bed goodnight ian artemis!!!
I gotta scoot too...sorry to leave ya alone Huntress
I'm "never alone...never alone...never alone!
never alone... never alone...never alone..."
name that tune or the soundtrack its from
No, she's never alone. Mwah ha ha.
Lol! Are you bummed about the snow we "didn't" get? I'm thinking there's a force of some sort @the twin cities this year!
TMK I see you too
Yes, I was hoping for at least some snow. I think there's less snow on the ground now than there was before this snowstorm was supposed to have started Friday night.
Hey Heeey, come out and play
sorry, having an offspring moment
I would rather have white fluffy snow than grey drizzly rain!
Going to be hard to hide the Mock Hunt coin effectively if there's no snow at all on the ground. I may have to change my plan somewhat.
Anyway, I think I'll head off to bed for the night and see if I can't shake this cold.
camoflage!
Night AW, SCD's and MCL, take care of that cold :)
I thought you were going to bed?
Or Are You going to play all night?
I am in bed (i thought i was dreaming)
filling the pot(s) with mountain grown...stocking cold beverages...
bowl of fresh fruit and hot sticky cinnabuns...
lights on...doors unlocked..."mellow mood" on the jukebox...
MCL Ya'll!
