When did you join TrekBBS?

[Neroon]

And then you and I became mods within two months of each other and the board has never been the same.

Truer words were never spoken.

I fiirst joined under the name Sheliak in March 2001. Didn't get much attention under that name so I changed to Miss Chicken in July of the same year. It is amazing that a change of name can make so much difference.

Or an avatar. No one knew who I was til this

started appearing beneath all of my posts.

I joined back in late 99, early 00 and got shellacked posting in a thread in the TOS forum by some of the old hardliners and opted to lurk after that. Lost my @startrekmail.com email account later in 00 when that service folded, and forgot my username and password for the old account so I re registered on april 21, 2001.

Seems like 2007 was not a vintage year for TrekBBS.

 

[SVD]

May of 2009, after Abrams' Trek come out. Was a fan before that, but lacked decent Internet 'till 2004, and reason to join any message board (9thwonders) until 2006.

January 31, 2009. I lurked for about seven years before that, though.

Au contraire, for in 2007 I graced the board with by beatific presence.

14 March 2000.

Similar story to Sakrysta - I was a long-term reader of the Lynch reviews, which led to the Jammer reviews, which led to TBBS (with the Wright reviews in there somewhere as well). I lurked for a few weeks, and when I saw a thread about best reviewers I decided to join up. Mostly lurked until 2003 and it's all been downhill from there.

I think....january 1st or 2nd 2003. Joined because of my school project, which was a DS9/FC style uniform, and then I've been here for pretty much my entire adult life

. I guess that makes me both old and new.

Now you just need something blue.

Oh wait you're a smurf. You're all set!

 

[Jack Bauer]

I joined on July 12, 1999.

 

[clint g]

I joined on November 12th 2003. I initially joined a few days earlier but back in those days the board software was wonky and for some reason the account didn't activate or something. Hard to believe it's going to be 7 years soon

20 June 2004, 6 years wow

March 2005. I lurked for approximately five minutes before I registered. I came here to begin with because JuanBolio would show me posts he made occasionally.

I originally joined to troll the board. I don't even like Star Trek, or even knew what it was before Bolio showed me this board. However, I'm really bad at trolling and no one noticed, so eventually I just settled in and started pretending I was an actual contributing member of the board.

I'm still not entirely sure what Star Trek is. Is it that show with Space MacGyver and all the Egyptian stuff? I liked that one.

^And you didn't stop there, didn't you?

Actually, I thought I would stop there. I didn't really have too much of an interest in joining a BBS. But once you're registered, it becomes very easy to reply....

Yes, Avatars can make quite an impression.
