Here’s a variant on this idea from about 6 months ago that smoked out a lot of the still active long-timers: > [@Longest Tenure?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/longest-tenure/1012548): > > If this should go somewhere else, mods please move it. I’ve been lurking here since 1999 (when we were on AOL) and joined up sometime in the 2000s. Some of the current posters and mods were there then, or at least have been around as long as I remember. Others have Charter Member or years in their profile. Who’s been here the longest? Is there a prize? There should be! That thread established there are dozen or two 99ers still around. I joined fall 2003, so my 22nd anniversary is coming up soon. That was an era when the board population was expanding rapidly, so small differences in join date made huge differences in your “seniority number”. I’m glad you’re still around to make the place brighter. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-my-25th-anniversary/1020029)._
