So when I click on each person, it shows daywane signed up feb 25th 2002, I signed up feb 27th 2002 and malenko signed up feb 28th 2002. I wonder how many more are in that time frame. Maybe there was a new system put into place around that time?

I remember lurking for like a year or two, but I dont recall the forum software changing at the time, I think this is the first forum I signed up with and didn't abandon after a few weeks, of course this was long before the chad infection.

Well, I found the old boards and saw a post of mine from 01/06/02. It was about updating my site which means I was on before that.  (Holy crap I have been here a long time!)

I knew there was a different board but I didn't really remember it until I saw it. Now I remember. :)

i just noticed the date, maybe it has been longer.  I found a post in the BST from Jun 02 but none of my posts before then. I'll just pretend it was my 7year anniversary

... A Little over a year for me.
So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

So it's almost 6 years for me.  I don't post often, but occasionally I'll have a mini posting frenzy. 

I just love this place.   :applaud:

Been here around year and a half.  I believe that it was that longago.   I got locked out of my other username(highlander4).  I've completed one cab.  I read daily, but don't post that often.

I've cracked just over 100 twice in my lifetime.  Once on gamefaqs.  (Got fun debating FF7.)  And once again on a decent size FF fan site.  As soon as I was granted mod status, my HDD went kaput, and I was out of commission for half a year before I could afford another HDD.  Both times were many years ago. 
I'll exercise patience when you stop exercising stupidity.
