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.

I joined TC June 15, 2001 at 11:40 am.  Eight and a half years already.

That probably puts you in the top 5 or 10 long time active members.

Eeee! I'm somewhere in there, too. I can't remember when I joined, but I'm pretty sure it was sometime in the first half of 2001 (or maybe the very tail end of 2000.)

[Tana]

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

Me too 
But *rummages through the smilie box*....nevertheless!

I'm always pleased that so many of our members have been here such a long time. Sometimes it is hard to believe how long it has been. If we would not have had to make so many software changes, we'd probably have close to a million messages now.

The front page shows us at 185K+ messages here on SMF, which opened in early March 2007, so it's been about 2.75 years.  Assuming a constant rate of posting (which is probably not the case, but I don't have a good way to allow for fluctuation in a quick calculation), that works out to a theoretical 807K+ messages in 12 years, if I did my math right.  If we hadn't done all the moving around...  *shrug*  Maybe we would've hit 1 million, maybe not.  Hard to say.

We would probably have over 200,000 posts here by the time the third anniversery of switching to TC's current incarnation.  Given that there were a little over nine years before that and the board probably wasn't as busy on Delphi and anything else before Beehive -- and that I don't remember Beehive being as busy as we are with SMF -- I don't think we have hit the One Million mark yet.

I are an old timer.  Now somebody bring me a hot boozy beverage and some damned cookies!    lol  I'm practicing to be a really, really old, dusty-crusty witch.  After all, in a few short months I'm going to be a grandmother!

*dies just a little, recovers and decides grandkids won't be that bad*

There was a long break in there, mind you, but I still checked in when I could from the library- had to get them to unlock TC for me so if I or they were busy, I didn't do it, but I tried.

Late to the party as usual, but I was sick. No, really, I was. Spent yesterday ensconced on the couch in the parlor, sleeping and dozing and sleeping some more.

But anyway . . . I don't know how long I've been here, but it's a long time. I've not participated as much in the last year or so; however, that doesn't mean I don't check in and read. I still enjoy perusing the boards, even if I'm no longer "pagan." :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TC!

[treekisser]

Happy birthday TC!

Dang, I wish I had something more interesting to add!

I find myself thinking that quite often here.

At least five years, I think. But I don't track this stuff well.

I seem to remember your first post was a little twisted.  I can't remember what it was, exactly, but it was around the time I joined - I might have welcomed you, or vice versa.

At least that, indeed. I think (not sure, it's muzzy that far back) I found you back on Hellphi. If not there, then shortly after you left for the place following that. Long time, in any case.
