I think this is cool!

I noticed today in our local newspaper that a 1983 graduate of my high school has set up a free website for all graduates from the school to sign in, post info about themselves, and contact other graduates. I think it's a great idea! :ok: I know there are other services online, but you have to pay for those. :roll:

Buh?? :blink:
We have one in NZ, it's called Oldfriends and it's completely free, it's not just for one school or anything, but pretty much the entire country (LOL benefits of being small I suppose ;) )

This site is for our local high school. The other sites are nationwide for colleges/universities, and you can sign onto them for free, put up your information. If you want to look at anyone else's profiles, you have to pay an annual subscription fee - not something I'm interested in.

Well, I just don't know when to keep quiet. The fellow who started this freebie site last December just put up a message asking for Moderators, and which idiot currently in the room raised their hand?! :disguise: Yeah, that's me. It won't be much work though, as there are currently only about 25 members and not much going on there.

Heheheh! :evil: enjoy it Cilla! It is pretty cool, but I don't think a lot of the schools where I come from would have had enough students to warrant a site dedicated for it alone.

Our graduating classes from High School tend to be around 350, so over the years that's a fair number of people who might like to get back in touch with each other!

I think it's a great idea! :ok:Um, they have that already. It's called Facebook (http://www.facebook.com). And it's free (though, granted, it's no good if you don't have an alumni email account affiliated with your college -- like bob_alumnus@university.edu). ;>

I stand (or in my case, sit) corrected; at least partly. I signed up for a High School info board, and that costs money to get any info on friends. Now that I think of it, I remember this discussion about the college one being free, but you had to have a current, active email address from your college in order for it to "work". I don't have one, and can't be bothered trying to get one as the friends I made in college that I wanted to keep in touch with I already DO. This other message board I'm currently on is free, and only for the High School I graduated from.
