Any old timers still around?

Nah, we had electricity... but whatever I was using, its main function was to serve as a 3278 terminal emulator. (So it may as well have been a Tandy powered by a hamster, by today's standards...)

 

Ah the days of dial-up. However did we manage?

But back to tying down the definitions.

Newb=Anyone who hasn't been here as long as you.
Old Timer=Anyone who has been here longer than you.

 

I was late to the party. I have only been around for a year and 11 months.

 

Fortunantly we are very tolerate of party crashers around here.

 

I used to post several times a day, but not really anymore. I got board with the BBS and found it to be too crowded a place to really have any meaningful discussions.

 

At some point in the future we should rename a forum in honor of Mallory.

 

It would have to be the Awesome Forum.

 

How about making one of the definitions something like "You have been a former staff member longer than you were a staff member"?

 

Whatever works for you.

 

That makes me feel a little better. I still remember when I was a newbie, but I am also proud to see a few I welcomed here reaching Rear Admiral, too.

 

^If it helps, you are still a newbie to some of us. (12.25yrs or so for me). Were does the time goto?

 

How should we call those who have been here longer than TNG had been on the air?

 

^Learned Elders, works for me.

 

And just think how much has changed in all those years, some of us have been around.

 

I've got it.

If you were around when Enterpriser was pulling his antics, you're a Grade-A Platinum Old Timer. Seems like a pretty good and reliable metric.
