How long have you been here?

“Fall of 1999 as" NChiker" then changed to" Spam " in 2000!”

“Just checked my E-mail archive and found Matt's message confirming my username and my password: 11/20/00. I think my first post (after lurking for a few weeks prior to that) was asking Sgt. Rock a question about Hennessy Hammocks.

My first flame response, that I recall, came from Gojo after I said something presumptious sounding.”

“Been here since fall/winter of 97. Originally posted as SARBoy.”

“Wow 97 thats pimp!!!!

8)”

“aug of 2000. lurked and dabbled as "hoser" for about 6 months before that...”

“3 years this december”

“Sometime in 98. A little after Phil started his photo page. Must have been around sept .

BAMA”

“I think it was Feb of 2001. Met my first TTers in July of the same year.”

“I see from the "first post" thread that it was sometime in early 99 or late 98. I must have been bored. I still am bored.”

“Sometime since the winter of 2000 I think.”

“I've met great people and made some cool friends...(not ductape, he needs help), hiked and canoed great trips...but more importantly...met a great woman!

Harriet did me solid....thanks lady!”

It has been a fun ride ever since!”

“I've been here since Fall of 98'.”

“December of 1999. Wyatt was two months old and I was stuck at home, cruising the internet when BAMMM! I got sucked into the deep dark TT tunnel. The new white background really adds to the padded cell mentality. ;o)

Hey birch, I thought you and Sass were here longer than me. I must have came in right after the two of you started posting.”

“october 2002, still an newbie on this board. what do I have to climb or hike to finally be accepted, huh?”

“Sometime during 1997. I posted a trail review that November (went back & looked!) so had been lurking before then!”

“Sunny, it sounds like we stumbled into the abyss at the same time.”

“15 May 2002
First post.
Lurked several months before that.”

“September '97 for me.”

“Since 8/03/00 for me..”

“August of 2001 for me.

How do you find your first post? Is there a way to search for posters, rather than just posts?”

“Spring 2000. Lurked for a long time before I registered. I still mostly just lurk.”

“I remember mine because it was on newgirls "panties" post.”

“I found this place while search for free porn!!!

@Jan '00”

“did you find the porn you were looking for???”

“Wow. I just searched my old email and apparently I registered this screen ID when I fell through here the middle of May 1999. For some reason, I kept going... LOL”

“I can't find any of my earliest posts as QuickPace.”

“September 1997, very few of us at that time.”

“I have no clue what year it was, '99 or '00. I know the first thread I posted on was about dogs on the trail...imagine that. I also remember the question of the month was about what women did with their "visitor" on the trail. Maybe that's how I can find out for sure. Is there still a question of the month?”

“I lurked for a spell, I`m not sure when it was, but there were less than a dozen posts to the lime green jello thread then. Not long after that I did my first post.”

“august/september.....2000
had just returned from solos in the Winds and the High Unintas and Gojo (who had advised me from that"other site"on the wind river range)suggested I check out the ECT threads here for fun....

met pamster, gojo, radagast , ghost and wally at cumberland island ...a bunch of weirdo perverts from the internet......i loved them all right off the bat.....kindred spirits at once..”

“I have e-mail notes from Tehipite and bacpac (LOL!!! That's one odd couple!!! >8-O ) in November and December, respectively, of 1998. Sooooooooo.... I'd say it was sometime in 1998. I got my computer for Xmas 1997.

LOL!! And a lot of you probably don't even know who Tehipite is!! LMAO!! I await bacpac's fond reaction at hearing his name. ;-)”

“Since the summer of 2001. I don't know which month it was.

I thought the site was new when I found it. I guess I was really wrong seeing how long others have been here.”

“I remember tehipite. There's alot of folks MIA. But, many new to fill in the blanks. I miss many that have gone.”

“It was good to see how many are still lurking about from the 1997-98 days! Probably there are others who just haven't checked in.”

“I think it was Spring 1997 as Feeney....then I switched to Adventurist when I lost my password. I think I was one of the first 20 to be on Phil's Photo Page. Now look at how many people are on it! I knew a lot of the TT's that have pictures posted but most of you probably say who the heck was that??? Right Phil?

One thing I remember about when I first started posting was that it was hard to log on and to view posts. I would be lucky if I could do it once a week!”

“Looks like my TT birthday is coming up - 11/27/01.”

“I am a 96 er as jmac! Yo bear”

“I don't remember the month or the post, but it's been about 5 or 6 years. And I lurked for about 6 months before that 'cause you people skeered me. :)
When I posted my bio on Idiot Bob's ECT page there were only about a dozen from the east coast.
I miss Idiot Bob. :(”

“I miss Idiot Bob, TOO!!! lol”

“When was the username/password system implemented? I was around for about 6 months (?) before that. Mostly a lurker.”

“I remember mine because it was on newgirls "panties" post."

That would be something to remember alright.”

“August of 1997 was my first post.

Looking for information regarding the adirondaks.

Got information from "peakbagger", and I seem to remember Feeney (now adventurer) chiming in.

Those were the days when Nigal was still a christian, and we had rollicking battles.

Its pretty funny to see the same cycle of DOG, GUN and RELIGION threads come around and around. Nothing new gets said . . . passions are still as strong.”

“So from 1997 and still posting:

Adventurist
Phil
Marmot
Lee

Bacpac . . .1996 really? Under this name or some other one?”

“This thread is like thebackpacker Homecoming.”

“I've been here since summer 2000.

Now I come here mostly to cause trouble and swap nigger jokes.”

“steve hiker sure know how to stir up the party, doen't he......”

“I heard from Idiot Bob a few months ago. He got very busy and then never got back into TT. It was fun having him around. Maybe he is lurking about.”
