How long have y'all been coming here?

[Brichard]

It's funny, but I really easily lose track of time. I was thinking the other day regarding the many years my lovely wife angier has called this place home. I mean... it has been quite a few years now eh?

Who remembers the old thread posting format?

The "other" Amy.

Wow... I'm glad y'all have become such good friends over the years.

I don't browse much, but I was in a reflective mood. I hope all is well.

Who remembers the old thread posting format?

which old format! LOL this has been something like the 5th or 6th.

i know Diane has been here the longest. i think dd was 2 when i found this place..so 11 years. wow!

[RCT]

I found this place in 1997 or so, wow 10 years...

long ago, when there was annon posters, the BMC,
Mirc Chat room chats, Wiccans were feared....

OMG it has been a long time!

[Diane]

It's been a long time. I think my kids were still in elementary school when I started posting here. I've seen a lot of people come and go...

(I wonder how long the Idea Box has been in existence?)

[Diane]

I remember the first time I ever posted was on a thread about children/picky eaters. I remember how nervous I was about getting flamed because there was so much of that going on at the time. (when you could post anon)

[JAK]

It's been just over 10 years for me too (almost 11). Ds was just about to turn 1 and he'll be 12 in Nov. Also, I have moved 5 times since I have been posting.

[Leigh]

I started in Feb 2001, so it has been 6 1/2 years...WOW, time flies when you are having fun!

[MaryL]

I'm not sure...maybe 5 or 6 years??

I remember the old format. One day I came to check in...and had to re-register/log in...and we were all commenting about how different the format was. I wonder if we search WAY back...we could probably find those posts. Didn't there used to be a way to access the REALLY old posts?? I think someone posted that once, and I checked back to find my very first post.

Ooooh, that could be fun!! lol

I'm trying to think, I KNOW I was here when dd was in Kindergarten and for sometime before that, so I'm going to guess SEVEN years. Wow!

[KarlaB]

I got the link from a friend in a 'baby/parenting' class when our boys were wee. Ds is 10. if I had to guess I'd say it's been right around 9 yrs for me??

I think we should make David research this and let us know.

[Amy]

I came in 1998. I had to find interesting things for dd to do since I just had ds. Oh, the memories! LOL It is hard to believe I have been here that long though!

I think we had access to the old board at one time. Jeff used to have it. I don't think it is active anymore. I wonder if David can still look at them.

I think it's been 10 years for me. I came in search of kids crafts. I lurked for a really long time before posting because I kept watching Ann get attacked and I nearly always agreed with what she was saying so I was afraid of getting attacked myself, lol.

I think It's been about 6 or seven years here....because I know I was going to school. Might even been longer...might have found it before I went back tio LI and school.
