What year did you join ATOT?

[mcurphy]

ATOT stands for Anandtech Off Topic?

My join date for the Anandtech forums is 2003. I didn't venture into Off Topic for a couple years, maybe 2005? Judging by most of the responses here, I'm assuming your poll is asking for a member's join date, and not when they started participating in OT. So my vote was 2003.

You mean lurked?

Although I guess with sentient, time warping FuseCrap, what you say is w8ithin the realm of possibility.

Reps x2

I've been lurking since 2001 though. Never joined because it doesn't allow web-based e-mail accounts.

I see that aught 7 is the cursed year.

Bryan Atoms is Bryan Adams' brother who is a mad nuclear scientist.
