Post here if you have more than 5 years on TT

“have all the old timers gone away? I think many are still here.”

“Why is an old timer "5 years"?

I think 2 years is an old-timer.”

“Five years in April 2008!”

“7 years, 6 months...days don't matter....”

“I am 1 month older than creek dancer”

“1997. I'm OG.”

“5 years, one month and 1 day!”

“dang you're old as the hills crazygurl!”

“This is like junior high boys measuring their peckers.”

“7 years this Jan. I actually started lurking in fall of 00 but didn't join until 1/01”

“huh?..can ya?”

“8 years and 6 months!”

“Yep, 5/15/02.
Lurked well before then.”

“Under my other name it shows 12/28/2002 http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/showname.php?id=wvabackpacker but I started reading here about a year before and posted under another name that I can't remember. It was like 4 months before my first backpacking trip in college when I was reading up on new gear, etc.

“it'll be seven years at the end of this month. yikes.”

“This was the earliest one could find. This was back in the day before you even had to log on.

Clicky”

“If years were inches, I'd have around 6 1/2.”

“I am pretty sure I have been here more than 5 years, but I think of Nigal, jerbear, cowpatty and others as "old timers".”

“Earliest post of mine I could find is the Lime Green Jellow thread, page 3, on 11/04/99.”

“My original name was martyb - apparently I joined in April of '02. That makes about 5½ years for me....”

“lyra - and if you were a man you woulda said it was 8...”

“LOL @ Tara!”

“not real sure - this is my older account I think - lets see what it says - 5/29/01 so thats 6.5 years I thin

“I've been here longer than Nigal. Neener, neener.











Just think of all that time I've wasted here that I'll never get back. Curse you, Al Gore and your damn internets!”

“this account is slightly newer iirc - yep 12/21/01 so that would be 6 years

“4/5/00”

“When did TT start?”

“When Matt annouced the sale, I believe he said it had been ten years, so.....”

“I'm the noob........'05, of course I'm sure age hasn't a thing to do with anything......right Nimblenutz?”

“TT started in '97 I think.

About 6.5 years for me.”

“11/30/2000, seems just like yesterday”

“Definitely more than 5 years ago, though recent times I've been scarce. Still, watch those "pecker" jokes. ;)

Good to see lots of familiar ol' names.”

“WOW...was he in Middle School when started the site???”

“goin on 6 years now...”

“Official join date was December 19, 2001 when I joined as MDSHiker.

I've been lurking since June 2001 if I remember correctly.

It's been fun.”

“oh ---- and there was a squirrel, some Rasta guy, various bears, a damn dirty hippie and a rat.

Kindof like The Petting Zoo From Hell.”

“Started around 98 I think ...before you had to log in and around the time of Gentleben if anyone remembers him ? I went by Walrus for a while.”

“I don't know the exact date, but it was before the logins...

LMAO @tara!!!

Tilt, are you calling me a dirty hippy? Next thing ya know, he'll be blaming ME for bringing him here! ;)”

“Noooooooo..... I think that was Sarge's pet name for Mel,   LMAO

I've followed electronic breadcrumbs to all sorts of bizarre places -----


Wasn't there a prehistoric TrailTalk version where you could choose what color scheme you wanted to use?”

“Yep. I remember that.”

“9/20/01 for my chili36 account, but I lurked for a while before I managed enough courage to jump in the jellow pool.”

“I've been here for 5 years and one month.

Oh my, look, I am an old timer ;)”

“I remember the different colors too.”

“I remember spock....and steve (?) the lawyer from Louisiana.”

“Steve hiker”

“chili and stevehiker were good friends best I can remember.”

“LOL, best friends????!? LOL!

“spock     < sheesh >


You're always a rookie to the people who came before and a geezer to the people who came after.   It's all relative.”
