I was a lurker before I joined. It has been a while. Things have changed for sure.

Interesting, seems quite a few of us early 2000-ers have relatively low post counts.

Lurked for a long time before I joined. Still mostly just read and get my laughs.

Been on since 2003. Lurked for 7 years. I have Arfcommers who can actually vouch for me. But doesn't count

I remember when I was the young guy on here, I would always think you all were lame old Fudds.

Now people are calling me old.

Fu ckers.

I want to say I first posted in about 97 or 98 maybe? Been a long time....

In. I lurked before I joined, then I didn't really post much until later.

I just realized I've been reading this website for 15 years or more.. didn't join until 2002 but geez.. almost 14 years as a member.

Was here on the original board back in the mid 90's.

Windows 95 . . . running on "dial-up" no less . . . things have changed a lot.

Inside of most every old guy is a young guy asking "wtf" happened to the time.

I was lawdog on the old board. By the time I signed up on the new one, someone had taken the username.

Lurking since the listserv or whatever you call it

Same here. Seems like I have been coming here longer than my join date. Wasn't there an issue a long time ago where we had to rejoin?

Same story. I joined in 1999 and had a hard drive failure in '06. No back-up

and I was left trying to recall the user names and passwords for all the forums I had joined. I was never able to re-connect with my original ARFCOM account so I had to create a new one.

I lurked for like 6 years before I joined.....

Posted: 8/11/2016 5:05:07 PM EDT

[#37]

11 years but lurked for a few before registering.
I feel like I post pretty often so it's insane how many post some members have.
Still love it here even though it's best for some I'm not a Mod.

Posted: 8/11/2016 5:08:08 PM EDT

[#38]

10 here.

Posted: 8/11/2016 5:12:43 PM EDT

Been here since 99 as well. Had to start a third account because my other too were banned. Arock, DanTSX. I miss those usernames

Posted: 8/11/2016 5:13:53 PM EDT

[#40]

And to think I lurked a while before joining.
Learned a lot.
Spent too much money, especially during "The Ban".

Old board checking! (I was slow to re-register

)

I've been here since 1999.
I have the old ar15.com group buy AR rifle (ones from RRA) to prove it too.

I warned my boys. I told them to go ahead and do what they want to do, because one Sunday afternoon they will lie down for a nap, and when they wake up they'll be as old as I am. That's how fast it happens.
