I guess I am one also.
How do you get the list of Charter Members and whether they’ve recently posted?
I’m still here. I kept paying until they wouldn’t take my money anymore.
Yep, me too.
I’m surprised how many people from 20 years ago are still here. I wonder how that compares to other information services?
From the moderator control panel, which only moderators and admins have access to.
I should have been a Charter Member because I paid for years, but I think I lapsed briefly before they converted paying members to Charter Members. I totally felt ripped off. However, when I stepped down as a mod I was given Charter Member status as a goodbye present.
Here since I don’t know when and still active.
I kind of wish they would just give everyone who started in 1999 ‘charter member’ status. I remember charter status was used as a perk to get people to pay, and you could lose it if you didn’t, but now that no one is paying it would be kind of nice for people who have been here from the very start to get acknowledged.
On the other hand, that would probably be a lot of work,and it’s not THAT big of a deal, so I’m good either way.
I meant to post something here yesterday in honor of my cakeday, as I originally signed up (under this username, at least) on Jan 5, 2001. But I sure did screw that up.
I would prefer a separate group for the 99ers, but either way, it’s not going to happen.
I can sort the user list by join date, and there are a LOT of 99ers. Adding them to any group would require a HUGE amount of manual effort. I also don’t have the permissions required to create a user group, and as far as the Charter Members group goes, it’s a closed group. It would require an admin to add anyone to it.
I can work with Ed to get some things done, but this would be WAY too much work.
It’s just not a realistic option, unfortunately.
I was a charter member, but there was a point where I couldn’t pay.
Still here, and definitely left - indeed getting more left as I get older.
This is the only site I visit every single day**.
** except for severe illness or international travel
What exactly are these ‘severe illness or international travel’ websites you also visit daily?
Hah!
In me olde age it took me a moment to catch on.
You’ve been here since 6/20/00, according to your stats.
Hey, no '00 discrimination! We ought to be proud!
Darnn, just a little late. 
Yeah, we signed up before the end of the 20th century!! Technically.
You beat me by ONE DAY!
