I myself, have only used Person Man since registering. I also mostly used Person Man back when one could post without registering. According to the admins here, I used my real name twice when one could post without registering. Those posts have since been added to Person Man's account.

I will never change my screen name. And if I continue with my present posting rate, I'll reach 15,000 posts in 2040 or so.

Let me congratulate you in advance, since I don't know if I'll be around at that point

Wow, this thread is taking me back. I made it an official 10 years this summer, too. First registered when I was a freshman in college and was messing around on my rev. D. iMac. I'm pretty sure I had registered a username in the fall of 1999 or spring of 2000, but I could never remember it. This one stuck, though, and I'm still here.

Although most are pretty settled in this thread I only ran across it now. A great read however and reminded me of some frustratingly fun threads throughout the years. Sitting in class reading comments which I deemed inferior to my superior intelligence. Ahh, yeah, the world is yours to conquer when you are young. Then you grow old, with MacNN apparently.

But my phenomenally low post count shows I am either too smart or too stupid to pitch in. Being just under two months shy of being a member for 10 years I figure I'll use the next 10 to determine which of the two I am.

Interestingly enough, at the start of every Formula 1 season, I come here before checking any F1 related news sites. And I'm not really into F1 anymore.

This is a strange place, full of strange people. But it has nice pillows and nice smelling clouds.

i think there are too many inside-jokes that stopped new people coming in. First impression: a bunch of retards.
