Old Timers ROLL CALL!

Had to post just to check my join date.

If you have been here since 1999, I vote we get Lifer status.

 

[EvilYoda]

I wish I knew when I started reading AT as opposed to when I made my account. Don't remember if it was months or years.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Hello! I posted to talk about my new PC build back in the day... haha.

 

[warcrow]

Hrm, when did I become a lifer? :O

 

[ImpulsE69]

I think I had to have first been here sometime in 98-99. If this forum was here before then it might have been even earlier as I came here for the hot deals section back when internet deal searching was a 'thing'. I'm not sure when I quit frequenting the forums, but it most likely was in 2003 when I got deployed then life got in the way etc. However, I don't think I posted, but I did have an account (before the reset).

I don't even know why I ended up coming back in 2010 honestly but now it is a habit.


...and for all I know, I may have already said this in this thread before.

 

[Away]

11+ years of posting and 13+ years of lurking. I'm starting to feel old.

 

[olds]

I joined for the babes.

 

[nerp]

Lurked for five years before posting. Oh well.

Holy cow.....

Hard to believe I've been in this forum almost 16 1/2 years.
Lurked for about a year (late 1998-early 1999) and decided to join since I had a question about a "Hot Deal".

 

[Ns1]

Lots of noobs in this thread.

 

[MongGrel]

I'm a n00b.

But ATOT overall is a bit, compared to some places in the past.

No offense intended, it's not like I've been hanging out on Compuserve, or BBS's much these days.

Meh, so you're a n00b, who gives a shit, I like you.

 

[zerocool84]

These forums seem pretty interesting. I've only been posting here a couple months.

 

[RossMAN]

waiting for ElFenix to hit 100k posts at the rating he's going, it will be a while.

 

[VirtualLarry]

RossMAN, my Hot Deals Hero. The reason I joined, was the ATHD forum. I lurked for a couple of years before I joined, so my join date should have been 1999, if I had joined right away.

I still post a hot deal deal or two, occasionally, but that place isn't quite what it used to be.

(PM+coupon, anyone?)

Exact same story, lurked for a while, registered, spent a few years in Hot Deals then discovered ATOT.

 

[Daedalus]

Time to remember the old Anandtech...the original one forum site, the religious discussions that made us break into subsites, the Wounded Monitor Children, Butter, and anything else you can dig up.

Netopia, you still around? Russ? Who's still hanging on?

Still alive

 

[Muse]

Wow! This started in 2005 and I finally find it. I'm not from 1999, but discovered AT in what? 2001? 2 months before 9/11 to the day?

I have learned a lot here, it's helped me with some stuff.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

I'm a total noob compared to some of the names here, but without noobs all you have a forum circle jerking itself to death.

Maybe we need a "calling all noobs and lurkers" thread.

Come out and post, we don't bite unless it's consensual.

Valid point.

 

[Fritzo]

Back in my day you had to use ASCII code to type every character in a post...AND WEEEEEEE LIKED IT!

 

[thebestMAX]

Still here if anyone remembers me.

I'd be very interested to talk to anyone who's new here.

1. How did you even find this last-gen social media of vB board of Anandtech?

2. Why?
