Ive been told Ive prolly been here longer, and old member got that date as a registered date because of a database crash or something?

Date Registered: February 26, 2002, 04:56:23 pm..... I'm just saying......

We've both been here much longer. When the site switched from the old forums to the new we had to re-register/ our account data didn't completely transfer over.

I've been on here since at least 1998-1999 because some of my apps have that as a creation date.

Still haven't built my cab. Have all the parts, MDF (which has been moved twice), designed artwork, but not actually finalized a design.

I'm pacing myself.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2013, 08:46:45 pm »

I've got three cabs but none of them are finished.

The gorf needs a better pc so I can throw mamehooker on it and control the lamps.

My original mame cab is in shambles after a lcd monitor upgrade from last year... it also needs a better computer.

I've got a pacman cab I built from scratch and out of the three it's 100% functional, but I don't have a marquee or bezel installed and I haven't painted on the side art.

The nice thing about software is you can do it anytime of the year. Hardware, especially cabinet building, requires nice weather.

Always fun to hear. 2002 is indeed when we moved from one forum to another and peoples registration dates were reset. My earliest surviving post is March 10, 1999 (http://arcadecontrols.com/Archives/MsgArchive4-3-99.html) ... Site started in late 1997, making it almost 16 years old! http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_welcome.html

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2013, 09:46:23 pm »

Yeah and the last post on the actual website is almost 3 years old.

I really need to change my bookmark.

awww man I thought it was my job to give him ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about the front page :/ I guess I can share with you since we've been here so long.

Hey- sounds like I may have been robbed of a few years possibly!....I can't remember now.

I want my account upgraded to TWO FREE YEARS of access!.......

Mine shows September 13, 2002, 11:15:27 pm. But I know I came to this site a ton when I built my first cab in like 2000 or so. Maybe the 2002 date is when I registered for the new forum?

At any rate, thanks to Saint and to all the great folks who frequent this site for making it an awesome place to hang out. I'm seriously on this forum daily and often times more than once. I don't post a ton, but I definitely love to read the threads and soak up as much as I can about this cool hobby of ours!

Goz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2013, 12:28:47 pm »

Hmm... I don't remember if I was here prior to my current register date. But I've probably been lurking longer than most have been members here.
