I just realized I’d been here for over seventeen years. Then I saw a post from a '99er, and felt like a kid again.
I’m a 2000-er. Who’s with me?

Gotta keep these youngin’s in line, ya know.

I’ve only been registered here for a year or so, but I started in the UseNet group around 1994. I finally gave up when all the idiots had taken over.
And hey, Nov 11 marks my 20th year on eBay.

Hello my friend who has been mistaken for me as well as I for you! I’m a mere babe having only found the place 10 years ago. Not much solace for my advancing geezerhood in real life though.

Yo. I began lurking in 1999, but didn’t join until 2000. Just as well, I’d probably not have picked quite so cool a name if I’d joined immediately. :rolleyes:
Been following Unca Cecil since the 1970’s though, in alternative newspapers and books.

I lurked for several years before joining in October 2000; I was out of the game for a few years but came back in 2008 or so, and have been active since then.

Been a day or three for me.
Started on the old AOHell boards.
When this new board started, I cam over in March of 1999.
I am member # 33 which is the lowest number except for Admin types like Tuba, C Dex and Such.
