Elders in the AH community

[wishfulthinking]

When did you join? I'm thinking I'm close to being an elder because I joined in 2003.

And before any smarty-pants-less says it should be by post count and not join date - huh, you're just jealous you lack the status of longevity [It would probably look better if I was sure of the spelling].

I joined not long after you....in March, 2004.

I suppose I'll be needing a walker and some depends undergarments before too long.

Under my original name, it was 2001.

Thanks for making me feel old.

Oops -- I voted with impressive's join date.

Well, I'm feeling just as old because I've been around long enough to remember what your original name was.

I remember, as well. In fact, I'm willing to bet that more remember than don't.

I remember when you joined and you got a lot of shit for using "impressive" as in "aren't I impressive" which isn't what you're about. Checking for sagging wrinkles.

I like this place. I'll probably be buried here.

Just takes a while for folks to realize that.

Leaning on the nightstand. Next to the glass of water your teeth are in.

I remember too. But I'm still a baby here.

You looked didn't you!

Hmm, you're getting awfully close to your terrible 2s.

 

[wishfulthinking]

Holy fuck, yes I did.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Holy fuck, yes I did.

You weren't supposed too!

 

[ABSTRUSE]

March 2003.

I'm old here and in life.

 

[FallingToFly]

I joined in 2002 and I've gone through several chrysalis stages since then.

 

[rgraham666]

March 2003.

I'm old here and in life.

Pffft! You're younger than I am.

But only in life. Which is more important?

There's a very simple way to determine who joined before another -- look at the user ID number in the address bar of someone's profile:

Yours: .../member.php?u=272962

Mine: .../member.php?u=531

PS: te userID number isn't totally reliable in that it doesn't account for people who have been here a long time but changed userIDs -- some several times.

Stop being smart or I'll poke ya.

Makes you some kind of founding father

Not really, Lit had been around for a couple years when I joined. I do remember when I could read every post on the GB every day; now I can't even do that here in the AH without spending far too much time here.

I am older than the AH, Editors' Forum -- and the whole volunteer editor program here; in fact that is probably my most significant contribution to Lit because it was a comment of mine that put the idea in Laurel's head.
