Oldest AH poster

[TheEarl]

Inspired by Joe's thread on the oldest Lit thread, I thought I'd ask this q: Who has been posting on the AH for the longest time?

Without checking I have to say the only person I know who is Lit-older than me is Weird Harold although I remember WildSweetOne and Rumpleforeskin being around at around the same time. Anyone beat Weird Harold?

Alex de Kok, I think! He's been around since 2000/2001, something like that.

WH might have been here longer, though, not sure.

Okay, just went on a little search and discovered that WH registered Mar 2000. Then I went on a slightly more difficult search and discovered that I myself actually registered here on 23rd November 2000 under my brief previous incarnation (all of a month before bad things happened).

If you count that, I've been a Literotican for over 4 years. Scary.

I've been around for a while, but mostly I've just come to the AH recently.

RP board back when, and still now, but more often here.

Couldn't tell you, but it seems Weird Harold might be a good guess.

really? 4 years? then you might be able to answer the question: how long does it take after you submit your story...

Oh, thank you SubJoe. I really needed that laugh.

Like I said on another post somewhere, in another universe . . .

There were 29000+ member here before me! Killermuffin and Whispersecret were around in those days. Can't remember anyone else in particular. KM registered 7/2000 (same month as me!) and WS in 2/2000. WSO was 2002.

Otherwise . . .

I'm not 100% sure about your age, but from the indications I've gotten I just gotta ask. How long were you here before you in face were allowed to?

It has to be Laurel doesn't it? Or do you mean currently posts?

Actually, could be Manu! And, he did post here just a couple of months ago.

LOL!

Ok now...this leads to another question. Which was the first story? I wanna read it!

Just typing the ID as 1 in a story URL doesn't work.

Okay, just went on a little search and discovered that WH registered Mar 2000.

Actually, Mar 2000 is when the forums were converted from UBB software to vBulletin Software and everyon who was around for the conversion is tagged as registering then.

I've been around Lit since sometime in early 1999 I wrote my first story in late 1999 and posted it in Apr 2000 (according to the posting date on my (DOM's) author's page)

Weird, you're an inspiration. Yes. That's the word, I think.
