How Long Have You Been on TBBS?

Wow, lots of old-timers! Howdy to you all and thanks for the anniversary wishes. BTW, I've only had one other username, ariesram.
 
Damn...all these folks with multiple accounts, lurkin', and name changes...

WTF is wrong with me that I've been "od0_ital" for nine years?!

Nothing. All these folks with multiple changes just envy you your changling status.


My eigth anniversary is sometime in October. I lost my first account in the Christmas Massacre of '02 and registered this one on Christmas Day.

For a little bit of a twist - Those of you who are (or previously have been) staff here, how long have you been (were you) staff members? I'll have been green six years in mid-June.
 
Ten days shy of six months. Actually, I wonder why I didn't discover Trek BBS much earlier, considering I've been a member of the HobbyTalk forums for 9-and-a-half years and definitely consider myself a geek.
 
I'm brand spakin' new. This board has really been around for 10 years? I was 11 years old 10 years ago:cardie:...don't think I'd of been able to join when it started up but I would of if I knew about it and could of.

Geez...I don't even remember how long I was a mod...I remember it was October when I accepted the offer. Can't remember when I quit...so, a quick check of my LiveJournal is in order.

I joined staff as the VOY forum mod in October '05 and quit in March '08, so, two & a half years, right in the middle of bein' a member here.

Yep, I joined when I was a freshman in high school. I am now 25.

That loss of memory is probably from the mickey they slipped into your drink at the going away party. You know why, of course. Setec Astronomy. :shifty:

:rommie: Ah, nice...nice. The only forum I found during high school was Gaia Online. Pretty crappy place thinking about it now...
 
As of mid-March, ten years. (:eek:) Mostly a lurker until about mid-2003, did most of my posting between then and about mid-2006, and have scaled back considerably since then.
 
According to my "Statistics", I joined on July 7, 2006, which was a Friday.

Other events that occurred on that date:

An explosion in the village of Dongzhai village in Shanxi province in north China kills 43 people.

Three Israeli civilians are wounded when a Qassam rocket lands in a basketball court in Sderot. More than fifteen rockets land in Israeli towns on Friday, in spite of an Israeli raid in the northern Gaza Strip.

Israeli minister Avi Dichter suggests Palestinian prisoners will be released "in a goodwill gesture", if kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit is released and rocket attacks cease. Hamas official rejects this suggestion.

Craigslist is sued because of illegal posts to that website. Amazon, eBay, AOL, Yahoo, and Google all file briefs as friends of the court in support of Craigslist.

Japan circulates a new United Nations Security Council draft resolution including the threat of sanctions against North Korea.

The Western Black Rhinoceros is declared extinct due to poaching.

i've been reading tbbs for quite a while. but i registered on may 5th 2010. so just a two weeks a guess.
 
Nine years come July 23. Wow, such a long time...

I've never been much of a poster, and I've been absent for a stretch in 2007 and 2008, but I still read threads and even comment once in a while.
