How long have you been here?

If I include lurking than just over 8 years as of now.

Too long/not long enough

First post was 8/30/2000. But then I stopped and didn't really start again until the later half of 2001.

oct 19, 2002

too long! i don't really have too much fun here anymore, but i guess i can't stay away. sorry! i would stay away if i could. i'll try harder, i promise.

I enjoy yr rambling fwiw

never enough scott

i still use old.css tho

The first thing I remember seeing on ILX was Momus's penis, so whenever that was.

12 years, that's almost a third of my life! Though I still sometimes feel like a newbie, the whole Greenspun era is a myth to me. I remember poxy fule though, and the days of anonymous posting. Remember what a furor there was when some folks dared to suggest posting on ILX should be allowed for registered users only? Such simpler times!

Ive been reading/posting since 2003-2004 but I cant prove it =\

nevermind lol

book recommendations

i think my first ever post was 2005 but I may have had other logins I've forgotten. Started posting more in 2007.
This is not me btw: Have you done anything that should have gotten you murdered?

i switched over to old.css earlier today and i can't believe the suffocating waves of nostalgia coming off this monitor. also, the eyestrain.

nine years

loooooool

I think I posted some terrible shit under my actual name starting in 05 that I wish I could erase or Googleproof. I started with this dn in 07.

I have posted nearly 12000 posts of hot fire since then tho 🌋🔥🔥🔥

3500 posts but I still feel like a newbie

acoleuthic awwww

A little over 11 years. Though I'm quiet these days I used to talk a lot a lot. Then I got *jobs* and other stuff, incl a baby. It's just by weird luck that I didn't get into ilx earlier! But one day on a bus in London in the early spring, ken c. told me about this, the other Internet tendency. I think everyone was just sheltering me from it before. Haha no.

3500 posts but I still feel like a newbie

This is my 3214th since January of 2005 and I feel the same.

Another member of the 3000 club here: 3165 since 2003.

14 years, not far off half my life!

14 years, more like a third of mine

First post May 24, 2001. 15,512 messages later here I am.

3,838 messages since 2009.

March 13, 2001. So over 14 years. I'm having trouble comprehending that.

apparently I've posted 17,831 messages, but I think that must be since around 2007 or something as I changed my account details some time ago.

April 19, 2007. 8 years.

About 1/5 of my life.

Early 2004. I've apparently made 9,262 posts, which seems a bit unlikely.

here since late 2010, made 650 odd posts

First post 3rd December, 2000

none of my various scattered ilm posts in previous years secured any marriage proposals so they were disacknowledged

15 years or so, 14,075 posts which must be an error because i lurk like a muthafucker mostly.

too long! around 9 ish years.

25k+ posts since taking this name in 2007, and I've been posting since late 2002. I just wish I knew what percent of those were typo corrections.

I average one typo correction post per normal post

i'm no raggett but...

5,458 registered users 192,275 threads 12,009,675 messages You have posted 65,730 messages

weird to me that ilx only has 5,000+ registered users for some reason. given how long it has been here. i'm in a facebook group - where i spend a lot of my time now - and they got up to 6.000 members in a heartbeat. easier to join stuff on facebook obviously...

even more puzzling considering all those socks

Accounts have presumably been purged over time. I found a third login where I wrote a single post under my real name but it looks like the account no longer exists.

If you don't log in over the course of six months, the account is purged.

So 5,000 users who have logged in over the last 6 months.

i was a lurker in the pre-ILE I Love Music era, found through Freaky Trigger of course. I distinctly remember the very beginning of ILE, and reading it in my college computer lab while supposedly working on papers. started posting more or less (usually less) around 2001. this is my 5220th post.

5,000 users sounds like a lot to me, feels like there's only a few hundred regular posters

My first post was in 2003, putting these two jpgs side by side
