What join date do you have to have to be an 'old member'?

[loic2003]

2003 was the best year in terms of quality individuals joining.

 

[speg]

I started near the end of "the old days", so I say <2000.

Edit: I can't believe it's been nearly six years already... Yikes 😱

 

[yowolabi]

Anytime before July of 01

 

[jcuadrado]

1999 and if you're from the agn3d days even better...

Just curious, I had lurked for a while before joining...so I have an '01 date. However I think I missed out on the 'old days'.

I was here before they redid the forums. The only differences I see are the splitting off of P&N and almost no hardware fanboy, ie AMD vs Intel, flamewars.


Basically you have not missed much.

October of 99

 

[Tom]

older than me.

 

[Kenazo]

I consider myself to be an old member.

 

[illusion88]

Id go with 2000 and earlier

 

[darkxshade]

I was around since 2000 but I didn't register for the forums till 2001

 

[tweakmm]

I'm pretty sure the offical consesus with the 'old members' is that it's before 2000, right before OT started going to hell.

You're not old unless you had an account on the AT UBB forums(which means your join date would be the same as mine).

 

[Imaginer]

<-----

(Thats when they reset the forums due to something, and everyone who registered at this date and before had their join date set back to this)

Though I never joined the UBB though...

 

[KarenMarie]

i may not have been here long... but trust me, i am an old member.

 

[Lola]

I would *like* to consider myself an older member, but i personally feel that anyone 2000 or less really is.

 

[UpGrD]

WMC 🙂

 

[new2AMD]

2001 or earlier

 

[gigapet]

Ah, I see you don't visit the Video Forum often.

 

[gooseman]

I don't know.

 

[Imaginer]

You know you been here long, if you remember....

the GUTB era!

 

[Abel007]

Old is a state of mind.

 

[Gand1]

It should be definitely pre 2000 but 1999 is instant official! 🙂

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

And I'd call the "second generation" those who joined before the dot-com bubble burst, which was sometime between March 10, 2000 and later that year.
