Dang, I'm Old

“One of the cool new features Matt added is under each profile, it lists the date a member first joined.

I joined 8/30/99.

Most of you are just a bunch of pups compared to me. ;-)

“I have to log in and post under my original name to find that out.”

“9/27/01
Wow, I am a young pup. Cool, I like puppies.”

“Mine was in Jan of 01. Seems like I lurked a few months before I joined.”

“9/13/99. Artex, you and I can count our gray hairs together. :-P

yeah, dayhiker, I was thinking my date might have been before then, but I'm sure I lurked, too!”

“I posted under another handle when I started TT'ing. I lost 5 months ¦ ( .”

“I sit corrected. I lost 4 months. Apparently I lurked for a month or sp before I started posting also.”

“Let's see how long I've been here.”

“Member since: 4/5/99

Looks like I'll be counting those gray hairs, too.

*edit*
I really like the edit feature.

“It's been neat looking at everyone's member since date. I'm impressed by how many are still here from before this thing was actually thebackpacker.com. I'm assuming that's who all the folks are with the 4/5/99 date since it comes a day after Matt's 4/4/99.”

“Tom Terrific started 4/5/99.

I was MarkT here in Fall '97.

“My date is 12-19-99. I started out as Cully, switched to Joy and then to Sassafras. Have no clue what my login numbers are for the old names but Birch joined the same time as me, as Birch so I cheated and looked at his date.”

men who fight for this are often this first to finish in many things. They don't even think about it until it's too late. Then they curse themselves:

"Oh f***! This wasn't a race!”

“I was not first by any means.
Profile date is 12/9/02 but a gear review I posted in 7/97 is still there from the non password days.”

“nice! yet another way to prove how much better i am than those icky newbies.

“Eat it, my child.... >8^P”

“NUTS! lyra was here before me:(”

“Doesn't that suck, coyote?”

“I'm on my third incarnation on this site, so I go back to before '99. It was quite a free-for-all in the beginning. I remember that I stumbled upon this site while planning a trip. Lots of laughs and comraderie since the beginning.
Bring back Gentle Ben!”

“yes,yes it does MarkO”

“BOO-YA”

“Gentle Ben's stories were the best.

Buddha Bear is a lame second at best.”

““nice! yet another way to prove how much better i am than those icky newbies.
