How many of the old gang (15 plus years ago) are still here?

LOL, I knew I'd get you.

While I only have half your total I am squarely in the 'get the hell off the internet' club too.

Saw your avatar, then scrolled down to my own and saw the border and thought to myself “When the heck did I write enough to be a Gold Content Contributor?”

They made me a mod a couple weeks after the Silver and that ended my reduced ads perk.

I'd say your threads were /are quality over quantity. As per the norm when a member becomes a mod their desire to create content kinda falls by the wayside.
I have no clue how I deserve the distinction of a gold border. Kinda came with all the free 🌟. 😂

It's probably from the myriad posts you've made in the secret Mod Forum where you get to talk smack about DB and he can't read it.

I joined in 2011, was a lurker a couple years before that.

I dont spend much time on here any more due to the intrusive and overloaded ads on every page.
The site turned into a money making scheme by the site builders, and kind of urked me so i peruse here only rarely.

Except it isn't, SO made it clear that they are just keeping the lights on with the ad revenue coming in.

Actually I still put them out there. Same crap quality, I think I get more pity Flags and Stars now. Or did you forget it took nearly three years for my 1000th post

I'll have been here 15 years this coming July

I do miss a lot of the old lot, i guess most of the decent conspiracies have been done to death.

I pop in regularly still but don't come here looking for conspiracies any more. Fed up with the amount of politics, so i just pop in and out real quick for the odd bit of news.

CX.

Oh please.. I was putting out crap quality threads before you. I remember when you joined and when you became a moderator. Well deserved. You are being modest.

Good point. Smack talking DB should be a national pastime, we do it at dinner every night and my family has no idea who he is, it's just good clean fun.

Welcome back.
I've been coming here since before it was what it is.
It was little more than a bulletin board. 98 - 99 I think. I was always a lurker until breaking down a few years ago and joining the fray outright.
So while I wouldn't consider myself a long time contributor at all, some of us have certainly been around a long time and are still here.

We are still around and kicking

I'm from 2009.

Not been very active recently but drop in every now and then

Still here in the back ground. Its been my home page since I signed up. Peace out. Dog

2006 here but lost that first account. Not much to say so I don't post much any more but I use ATS to keep up a little bit on things.

Still here. Lurk mostly but always enjoying the banter.

I joined between '04 and '06 under another name but lost the password and had to rejoin under my current name in 2007. Good, bad or ugly; its been fun...
