> Hello, was just wondering if there is a secret group of people here who know much more than the rest of us.
I don't think it is a 'secret' group. Some people do know much more about the site etc than others. But that is because they have been here for a looong time. But all they know is recorded for posterity in the archives.
> Does this group of people actually get to converse with Dr. Bob?
Hmm. Define 'converse'.
Thats pretty much there in the archives too...>How, for example does one became a "Deputy"?
I think Dr Bob was trying to collate all the past threads (from the archives) on that. Its in there somewhere...
>Does one need to be a PBC "virgin" to be one?
Not to the best of my knowledge.
>Also, is this group of people going on a trip to meet each other?
Some people are going to Chicago to meet each other. Anyone is welcome to go.
>Are you guys involved in the maintanence of this site?
The ones going to Chicago?? The meet is open to anyone who wants to go. They aren't a 'private' group or anything like that.
>How did this site start out anyways?
Its in the archives...
(In fact that ones not too hard to find. The meds board was the first board that started so check out the oldest archive date).>How did people find this place way back in 1998?
I'm not sure... Google???
> I understand there was some research involved? How did it go?
I think there have been different bits at different times.
>How long will Dr. Bob keep this place running? It seems like an awful lot of work and the number of registered handles has grown quite a bit. I don't think this can be maintained for too long. What do others think?
Its been here for quite a while...
It has been maintained for quite a while...
Things have changed as the boards have grown...
Things will continue to change...
I like to think it will be here forever.> I wish I knew people well here, but unfortunately, I've only been here a few weeks.
And you will get to know people better over time
And they will get to know you better over time.
