Old-timer here. I can remember the old forums before UBB. Actually, I remember Anand posting on the newsgroups with his "cyrix" ID. My old name was 'wje' :;

I've been around since the UBB days, but don't remember the Geocities days.

Geocities is before my time, but I lurked enought to witness some UBB and the transition to fusetalk.

I was on AGN more then.. Of course we talked about how crabby all the users at Anandtech were

Dude, shut up...they almost forgot. :|

I joined a little before there were 10,000 members, so I guess I'm not technically an old timer. I was around, though, right before nowhereman and GUTB left. In my defense, I haven't been online that long either. I joined AT probably about a year after getting online at work and about 4 months after getting a computer at home...so it didn't take me to long to find it.

I was here during the old UBB days, used to post sometimes. IT was entertaining with Teddy Ruxpin, NowhereMan, the guy who would never spell right, and some other people who I forgot.

They will never forget. They just learned to love us as their own.. What a loving place to be now :heart:

damn, I remember that user ID

i remember the UBB days. i wasn't around before then, but I remember GUTB, the countless Cyrix vs AMD vs Intel threads, and hell ... I remember actually using a Cyrix. :Q

I didn't have this username back then, obviously. I recognize all the oldtimers though. There are also many who haven't posted and probably won't

 

[JC]

I lurked a bit back then.....didn't sign up until FuseTalk.

 

[kranky]

You know Monel is an old-timer because he has a space in his handle!

I lurked on UBB (long enough to remember two entire database wipeouts that meant everyone had to re-register) and I registered when FuseTalk started.

 

[Kyle]

yeah I've been here for years lurking in the shadows...=)

 

[amnesiac]

Old-skool here

Just wondering how many members remember the UBB and/or pre UBB days of Anandtech?

I just fried an old hard drive that had some HTML files on it from the "Semi Olden Days". The Butter thread, some GUTB posts, H8Tank posts, Magnus Kain posts, Nowhere Man whining about some BS, etc, and it got me thinkin about way back when.

Who else here is considered Anandtech Elderly, besides the hoodlum crew? (Red Dawn, etc)

I came onboard just after AT changed to its present..er..now past look back 1997-8.

I remember all those guys. GUTB was the worst.

Ever wonder why the oldest members all joined in Oct 1999?

Me too.

It was because I hated the Fusetalk setup, and I liked the UBB better at the time, even though "time warps" and vanishing posts were regular. We stayed at the UBB forums till our asses got booted off.

Man, I didn't realize how many elderly AT we have here. Those were the days, the 300A Celeron was king. I wanted to get into it at the time, but I could only get a 333. I traded it for a 300A later that I fried with a peltier.

 

[Mustangrrl]

I'm old skool... I remember my first day I got into a flamewar with some dork who was way into Nirvana and H8Tank. And oh yeah, I remember NWM verrry well - I can even add NWM to my list of Valentine's

 

[ultravox]

I've registered 3 times here in all.....

 

[HombrePequeno]

I remember the old UBB days, sort of. I didn't post back then though.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Easy to tell, just look @ our joined date, I was afraid to post, the flames were pretty fierce... I gingerly replied to Hot Deal threads, but stayed away from OT.

Loved the religion threads, most of the posts would have gotten everyone banned or warned nowdays
