Definitely an old-timer here. I've been here since the inception of the forums, though my post count certainly doesn't reflect it. I hang out (mostly lurk and PM) in GH, HD and OT forums mostly. It's funny how the longer you're "here", the more you see everything just kind of recycle again and again. Some are always ready to rumble and throw a good 'zing' in there (Red, ya there?), while others provide very insightful posts (Athanasius, you still around?). I wish I still had time to spend on the forums!

Folks like Shux and Red have been around forever, as have some of the others. I do miss some of the other old-timers that don't seem to post much anymore.....

I got you beat by 24.5 hours :p

Joined: 10/09/1999 11:47 AM (and there were 941 peeps that registered before me!)


oops, Hi Hazel :D

Many of those 941 were numbers used in the trial forum. Harvey and Russ and some others got registed by the admins at the time to keep some trolls from stealing their names. The actual count of people that day starts around 550 or so.

I consider an Oct 99 registration date as sufficient to consider one an old-timer.

Wow. I'm actually recognizing some names in here! *thumbs up*

Shux - 'Bout damn time I got some luvin'! :lips:

Well, I know I'm not really old school....but it's nice to see some familiar names in here.

/me waves to everyone

GD - Tell yer mommy I said hi. :)

I haven't seen jadinolf in a while and some of the others, either. I do see Windogg once in a while. And....if he's an old schooler, then I am too! I was here and posted in his "Senior Member" thread way back when. :p ;)

Me too, most particularly of that list WW and Russ. Some of the others I'm not familiar with.

I joined Nov 2000, so i'm not exactly an old timer, but definately not a newer member either.

Either way, at age 35 and over four years logged at AT, and I probably fit the description. :)

Me also :D

Cheers,

Me also again...

Been around for a while, not since the beginning, though. AT has grown by leaps and bounds even since I joined so it's not surprising that I don't "recognize" a lot of the usernames anymore.

Oh, and hi Heather! I think I left you a message once when My Yahoo had free voicemail (man, they used to have everything free on the internet). :)
