Same for me. Damn I'm starting to feel old.

Me too. I started lurking when it was just a few pages (called Anand's Web page or something) and that was either 95 or 96.

I joined in either 96 or 97.... The original original forums...Hot Deals hadn't even been born yet (I believe it was created as a result of the WMC fiasco)

20/21 then... 31 now. Wow.


Now that I think about it, that was probably about when I joined. I remember when it was on geocities. So wow, maybe I was closer to 19-20 when I joined. Wow, damn I've been here a long time, 11-12 years? Wow.

akshatp, Boberfett,

What is the WMC fiasco?

Wounded Monitor Children, I think. A Hot Deal fiasco from long ago.

I had to lookup WMC because the phraseology threw me off. I remember it so I guess I have been around at least that long. I think it was a mispriced 19" Iiyama monitor. I had tried to get in on that deal with my parents CC. I don't think I have been back to that site since.

I was here in the BBS days...so 97'ish. That would have made me around 19. I'll be 29 in a month.

Yikes. That's a third of my life.

:eek: :(
