In my everlasting efforts to procrastinate on my latest project, I've decided to ask this question seeing that 2 days from now I will have joined 7 years ago. Internet-life goes quick.

I'll wager most will be in the 5-6 year range.

well what are you between?

Seeing that 2/7/08 has passed, you are 3-4 years.

Why is it "somehow" for greater than 9 years?

This was up in 1998.

My point was why put "2-3 years" as a choice if it's only ever going to be people who have been here 2 years (and change)? Isn't that the same as "2 years"? You want to ask ">2 years but < 3" but "2-3" actually means ">2 years but < 4". The choices should read either

<1
1
2
3...

or

<1
1-2
3-4
5-6...

Aren't you glad you made a poll?

I've seen a 1999 member but not '98. I think I read it wasn't even fusetalk before then.

The current incarnation of the forums started in '99, but it existed before then.

Anyway...I've been here a long time. I was 15 when I joined.
