How long have you been here?

“How long have u been posting on TT?

I've been here since February 20, 2002. A mere blink of an eye for some veterans here i'm sure. Before I know it, i'll be celebrating my 1 year anniversary here too.”

“December 2000.”

“Late September/Early October, 2001.”

“April of '02 for me. Still a newbie, I guess....”

“I think it was July, 2001. Met the Michigan Mountaineers on a dayhike. Friendships have grown since.”

“Posting since 03/12/01.”

“Feb of 2001, fer me....”

“Since May, 2001. I'm just a baby really ¦ ) .”

“First post about july 01. Lurked for a lot longer.”

“Looks like there was some kind of "shift change" last year.

2001 for me too. July or August.”

“Last May for me. I'm newer than newgirl!”

“December, 2001 for me, although I didn't start posting until the following January. Almost up to my one-year mark!”

“"newgeobeet"?

nah...”

“Spring 2000..... I think. Maybe longer.”

“3/6/02

but why does it feel much longer?”

“August 2001. So how old is TT anyway? So who is the oldest and still a regular?”

“since 06/05/01.”

“whoops, i meant 06/15/01. see, i'm losing my mind. let that be a lesson!”

“We lost alot of people when Matt chnaged formats. I think that some still lurk. I wish they'd post...”

“Fall of 2000 I beleive.”

“Nigal is the first person to post from what I gather.

The thread is Ohio Backpacking.... I just reposted it.”

“I think I first looked at it a couple of years ago, started posting a couple of months after that. It's all fuzzy since I drank the Tang. Seems like I've always been here.”

“6/22/01”

“SN - I thought you've been around longer than that!”

“Lurked on and off for a while, but finally posted on 2-22-02.”

“Wow, looks like everyone goes nuts after about 2 to 3 years of TT. Nigal is the only name I recognize outside of Phil's photo page on the Ohio thread.”

“BB -

I think matt purged the archives at some point. If you read this thread, which was posted just 2 days after ‘Ohio backpacking’ you’ll see that
CaNmArK had been “reading some of the threads and tips here”.”

“I think around.... July, 2001. About 500 days of pure, posting enjoyment.

I think when I first posted, Town Dawg or someone said, "Welcome, aero. Just stick to the gear threads and avoid all the soap operas and you'll be OK here."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!”

“'So who is the oldest'
trailhound57

At 70 I suspect that I'm the oldest. But is that a measure of age or experiences? Big Coop posted, "Nowslimmer ... is a 70 year old kid."”

“Started posting June, 1998”

“So, who was the first person ever to post on TT? and when did this happen?”

“my first posts came around march of 1999 i think (its all fuzzy now). my first user name was crack.”

“June 2001”

“My first post was on 8/8/01 on the Bivy Advice thread.

It was walkincrow who said, " PS, Welcome Aero. Keep up the informed gear entries, don't get dragged into the soap opera threads and you'll be fine. ;)"

LMAO!”

“Dec. 9, 2001 was my first post.”

“seems like yesterday, doesn't it, aero? you gearhead, you.”

“98?”

“January 98?”

“10/10/2000, Three jobs ago and a different name after I lost my password.”

“95 or 96, I can't remember that far back.”

“4/25/01”

“I'm glad I didn't let myself get dragged into all the melodrama like the rest of you!”

“Feb. 02 I think. Seems like years.”

“'First Post' thread.”

“Well, the infant version of TT was birthed in the spring of 1996. Since then it has gone through several different formats.”

“The amazing thing is that Ice Tea's spelling has actually gotten WORSE!”

“Sometime in 1997, probably late. I started the Photo page around May 1998. Hobbit was already here along with several others. Lot's of regulars from that era have moved on.

I used two names at the beginning, but when we went to the password log-in I just used "Phil".”

“When I started posting it had the topo map side panel background. I still use it on some of my webpages:-)”

“Meeeemories, from the corner of my mind....”

“Oct 2001.

And yes this place does ROCK and is very PIMP!!!!!
