Today is the twelfth anniversary of the day The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum opened for posting!

Happy anniversary, TC!

Of yours or mine? 'Cus I sure don't want folks looking at my old posts ! *Tries to brush old postage under the rug*. It's kind of like old family photo albums. You can look at your own for nostalgic reasons, but when your parents pull them out to show your friends when they come to visit it just gets embarrassing .

I just read through my old posts on the first archived Beehive forum. Egads. I'm tempted to read through my posts on the second one, too, but I might just be a glutton for punishment.

Lyric and Koi have been here for about ten years.  (Koi still visits every once in a while although she doesn't have time to post except rarely.)  I think Sperran is the oldest non-founding member still active here. She's been here from pretty near the beginning as I recall.

Pretty close.  I wasn't on the Genie group, but started visiting at Delphi in April after the group was started the previous December.  Crap I'm old.

Congratulations to all I've been posting here since June 2004 (and lurking since late 2003) and have been logged on most days since (with the notable exception of a couple of holidays interstate or overseas. TC has been an important part of my intellectual, social and spiritual lives. Again, thanks

Kasmira, fetch me a glass of punch and a cute guy to give me a full-body massage.

Does that answer your question

Hang on there. I don't object to a pecking order, but if cute men are what's at stake - I was here first

You would need to get through my Vicious Hellhounds of Staffdom first.

LOL. Well you've got me there. I have come to the conclusion that they will never answer my call. I have tried summoning them several times, but the winds were silent.

It's so weird. I always feel like I'm newer here than folks like you and Sunflower. Perhaps because it took me so long to get on my feet. All the same, it's funny to think for how little time some of the "regulars" have been here. Myself included.

Good freaking grief, my first post was in November 2005. I'm pretty sure I was a longtime lurker before then. Especially since I didn't post hardly anything at all until we moved over here! And looking briefly at those posts, maybe I can see why... 

I didn't realize I'd been around that long... and I didn't realize how many others haven't been around as long!

Yay! Happy Birthday!

The pagan area of the internet would be a sad place without this forum, methinks.

Twelve years ago  -- after three frustrating days when only Elspeth, Ann (Empireone), and myself could post -- The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum opened its doors to the general public on the Delphi online service.

Heavens.  I joined while you were on yahoogroups.  You kept moving, but I kept finding you.  Eleven years?  I raise a glass (today it's American Ale).  To eleven more and more!  Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-LOOT!!!

Crap I'm old. 

I'm not touching that comment with a ten foot poll.

Congratulations and Happy 12th Anniversary!  And many many more!

As a newbie with less than a year here, I feel like the new kid at school, but I would just like to say Thank You to Randall, LyricFox, and all who work so hard to make this forum the excellent place to gather that it is.

That's probably best, so you don't catch my old cooties.

A little late--the weekend was super-busy for me--but:  Happy birthday, us! 

I never can remember exactly when I joined.  I'm pretty sure it was sometime in 2000, probably toward the middle of the year or maybe a little later on.  I know I was at TT earlier than TC, though, and can't remember when I decided to go poke my nose into "the scholarly sister-forum".  Delphi being what it is, I can't really go find out.
