    At what point exactly do you get classed as an "oldie"?

    Same here. First few hours it hurt my eyes, but after I got used to it I kept it, and haven't looked back since.

    As do I.

    Some of these names are like a trip down memory lane.

    That's what I love about this place - it doesn't matter how long I'm here, I'll always be a newbie!

    Me too. I've just passed eight years on this board, but as soon as most of the posters who are in this thread show up, I feel like I'm a lurking newbie again.

    Now all we need is a bar thread...:p

    This current persona exists since september 2004, I lost my first incarnation (under the same alias) after a long hiatus from the board. I don't even remember when I first logged and posted on this board.

    Great! I was stretching pages... doesn't sound quite as cool, but I've grown to like the blandness of it.

    We really don't.

    (Why is there a "Cardie" smiley that looks like Frankenstein, by the way? SALEEL MAJEED would not approve.)

    I'm part of the Voyager finale influx of spring 2001. Jammer & Jim Wright led me here through their devious linkages in their reviews. Took a bit of a break when TerranBBS was at its height - liked the smallerness of the board and got to do reviews and stuff. Anyone hear from Wraith anymore?

    Anyway, I've always been fringe-oldie - knew all the names, but wasn't really part of "the crowd." Still, love the nostalgia threads; all the old familiar names...

    Speaking of - Morn the Lorian, JeffK...

    Or a Fireside Chat.

    Nostalgia, obviously. Besides, my eyes hurt when I go back to the grey now.

    Was it you oldies that brought the board down? Or was it just me having problems getting here this morning?

    I've been here over five years now. Feels like forever, but I see I'm just a noob compared to some of the fossils around here. :)

    I've been modding the infamous VOY forum since March of 06.
