You didn't do a thing wrong, Madeline. Never stop trying to be helpful just because sometimes noses get out of joint. I came to this thread to post the very same thing you did for the very same reason. If it kills someone's fun, well, that's their problem to deal with and none of your or my concern.
With 5000 registered users (admittedly, I doubt the vast majority will move to the board) and this happening over a holiday I expect a lot of people will take a while to find the new board. We know from experience that multitudes of people routinely miss or neglect to check the Announcements forum. Your post was a good thing.

Well I registered for the new board! Awaiting approval...
And a heads up in case anyone cares, but I am no longer paisley over there... I'm now granola shoes!
I earned that nickname at a meeting earlier this month. Yes, someone actually made a remark about my "granola-y" shoes.

I've given a couple of snopesters who are regulars a heads up about the new board, and they were not aware of the move, so a gentle reminder can't hurt.

Changing the thread title on the announcement might help as well. Something along the lines of "EVERYONE MUST RE-REGISTER" would probably get some people's attention.

I think it's a motion-detector. As long as we keep posting, the light will stay on.

Spam & Cookies, you're a peach! Thanks for the heads up, I had, in fact, somehow managed to completely miss the announcement.
I tried to PM you, but your box is full. So here's a public "thank you" for being one of the helpful ones!

Meh ... not that important. More on the off-chance that callee should see this in active topics.

Maybe you could try sending him a PM on the new board. (?)

That's what I get for going back and forth between boards! Gaahhh! I thought he was already on the new one, but that's what I get for thinking when I'm not used to it.
ETA: I notice my avatar is nothing but the x of death, but it's because the image-hosting site I use is temporarily down. I hope it's working shortly.
ETA: Wow! That was quick. Avatar is back. Yay!

But now callee's name has fallen off the active topics page, Signora. I thought he was already on the new board too, but actually, it was a "callie" instead of "callee".
