“Lots of us oldsters around. I learned the ways of the internet on TT before there was spiffy avatars and myspace.”

“It's been glorious! I met TTer's on the trail in the smokies. Katibug told me about this. Don't eve see her post here now because she does more with Sierra club. We haven't camped or hiked together in the past year, but she came to help me after my recent surgery.”

“5+ years here. What do I win?”

“According to my profile, I've been around since 1999. I started doing online hiking forums in 1995 or 1996. Outdoor-L and backpacking-L were the first for me, as well as rec.backcountry. The longest one that I am still involved in is AT-L, which I started reading in 1996.”

“I was Ranger D to start out with. That was back around '98, I'm guessing. I gave up that name to let another "Ranger" have it, and I don't know if he is still around. Then, I was Oddyseus for a while until I realized I misspelled the name, (people were calling me "Oddy"). Then, I let the people on TT give me this name, Dunadan, which I've been since '99 sometime.
Don't you love history?”

“You're Sure it wasn't 'Tunacan'....”

“I found the oldest thread I could with me posting. Here's one tha has me as Cully and as Joy...http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/5099,,1.php

And then the "Signs that he loves you thread".

The first thing I ever posted on was a question of the month. Remember those?”

“Started lurking & posting here in August of '98... those here at the time were a great help on that first trek on the JMT - thanks to ya!!”

“12/27/00”

“Lurked for a while but finally registered 2/21/02.”

“Been here since the beginning. My first post has been deleted.”

“I 'm on the very first archived thread along with Nigal,Radagast,Nakedape,Skiracer,BS,Sunshine and others.

My first TT trip was with Nakedape,BS,Skiracer,Radagast and Freedom. It was a Linville Gorge trip and I have been hosting that trip every year since for the exception of one year we had to cancell because of bad weather.The first trip ever that I know of was before that and I think Nigal got lost!

“I have no clue how long its been. I do miss marvin gardens....”

“Linville was my Birth as SuperTroll...before that I posted as "Ruffian"”

“5/9/02”

“I see posts from some folks who you just don't see around here every day.

There are a lot more lurkers than active participants.”

“I have been here since . . ..1997 maybe . . .”

“Marvin posted something just the other day.”

“Someone should make some "I heart Marvin Gardens" T-shirts! :-D”

“Shows how little I'm on TT anymore -- forgot about clicking on my user name to get my "member since date" -- 11/20/00. So seven years; isn't that a lucky number?

Going back to that date I saw a lot of memorable names on the posts. I looks like the first thread I posted in was "Getting Your Pack Weight Down."”

“An Actual Gear Thread??

(that's a clue!     LOL)”
