BTW: Since we're already here and I'm too nostalgic now and all, I Googled my old posts from back in time, and found a [post] that we wrote and posted on microsoft.public.cn.msn.messenger as the moderators of the group.

I'm pretty sure Alex Zhang, who's a rank higher up than us, was probably annoyed by all the request for guidance that we constantly need. But...still, good times.
I also remember how it ended: the moderator tool that Microsoft provided to us has stopped working one day, we queried and waited for a few months and it didn't come back. So we assumed that Microsoft has changed the plan.
Also, now that I got my timeline clear, my lunch money was not donated when I was 13 years old (and just to be clear, it was not to Microsoft newsgroup, of course), I would say much older than that. But I can't found any record of the action since the server is private, so, sad I guess :(
Reading the old posts now, judging by the words we wrote back then, we... were really acting like cooperate freaks. Glad I've grown more human since :)
