I just looked back at my original account and it said (August 2001)

But I remember coming here before I registered. (You didn't have to register to post at one time?)

So I am guessing I first started posting here in 2000

I'm not sure. Probably sometime in 2000.
I also registered later. Haven't we all been lurkers at some point ?

I registered this account in September of '01 but I had been here under another alias, which I can't even remember, as a lurker since a few months prior to that.

I bet I have the fewest posts for someone who's been here as consistantly and as long as I have. I don't talk much, and I get most of my answers through searching.

October 12th, 1999 was my join date under my original username. My first post was about a year after I joined. I was quite the lurker.

Sometime in 2000, I think. Around the time Public Beta came out, because I wanted to see people's reactions. Just before 10.0 came out was good times. So many fun conspiracy theories. And yeah, I used to post as a guest too.

Since late 1999 I think. To think, I actually mainly used this place for tech support on my Performa 5400/180. Do they still do tech support now, or is it just the lounge?

I started coming here right before the Public Beta days.
I was making a theme for OS X, and the only place that had such a discussion was here.

join date should be correct, haven't changed names.
originally migrated over when the appleinsider forums (i think they were called something else at the time) went down for a long period.

I started lurking after the TiBook announcement (was that MWSF '01?), registered on the date you see over there on the left, and really only started posting regularly in August 2005.

I registered the day I stumbled upon the forums. I had a question concerning Netscape 6.0 (namely, did it suck balls for everyone else, too?) I've managed to not "lose my password" since then.

Some dude regged in 1999, and had 12 posts, posted a few weeks ago in OS X.

I've been here since at least my grade 12 year of high school... that puts me at... four or five years... I think 2002... or late 2001... that's so bloody sad.

I registered when I first found this place. I think I heard of it from my brother, his mate had a mac and told him about this place, he wasn't interested because he's a PC guy, so he told me.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

I lurked in the GUI forums a good while before I registered. Maybe a year or two. I didn't even discover the lounge for another while after I joined.

Join date. I remember that I thought it was strange that there was a mysterious sub-forum called "Lounge". Strange posts, most of which I didn't understand (inside jokes etc.).

Nowadays I probably post 95% in the lounge… :-)

What aches me is my crappy nick. If I had anticipated that I will be a (more or less) regual poster one time, I'd have thought of it a bit longer… Grrrr.

I started coming here around the time of OS 9, and registered when the public beta came out.

I didn't really start posting in the lounge until 2001, I think.
