Just wanted to say HI

[JRC]

Haven't been around here in quite some time. Since I'm the oldest registered user and all. Any of the original crew still in the discussion?

:)

[Placebo]

I see what you did there.

[Splinemodel]

Yep. Although I'm hard pressed to remember who else is a old-timer. It's pushing eight years now for me, which is long enough for me to forget who's who.

[Ebby]

Yo waddup. High five!

[CosmoNut]

Still here, though I've taken a couple breaks in that time (aside from the "great blackout"). Let's see. I joined sometime in mid-99 when I wanted to know when the successor to Lombard was coming out. So 7 years?

[Flick Justice]

Still here, not sure if I qualify as I figure I'm the least squeeky wheel...

flick.

I started coming to AI in about 1995, before it even existed. I typed http://www.appleinsider.com into netscape navigator over and over until it finally came on line several years later.

I had a bookmark saved somewhere on my hard drive that I later found after the blackout. I forgot my screen name or password or something and had to create something completely new.

JRC, I thought I remembered you getting banned or something. Am I remembering wrong or did you get reinstated? :???:


[edit]: Nevermind. I found the thread I was thinking of.

[trailmaster308]

I'm posting to see how long i've been registered.

[trick fall]

I have no idea when I first came across the forums, but I remember the first posts I read were some fancifull tales from Kormac and I think it was around when the cube came out.

pro, go, woah, or whatever. I miss Mika. This is my second or maybe even my third account.

okay.... :wow:

I think I lurked pre-blackout, scrambled to find OrangeInsider during the dark ages, then registered post-blackout after I realized how much I had come to rely on the site.

I also maintain dual citizenship since the split, but that's another story.

[blackbird_1.0]

I think I've been lurking since 2002, joined the following year, and lurked some more. :)

[Vargas]

I've been here (on and off) since summer 2002.

In fact, your repeated entry of the URL caused the site to glide out of the void and get stuck on the Internets.

Thank you, BRussell. I don't know where we'd be without you. Probably outside. :p

He has an uncanny ability to sense when someone has mentioned his name. We should start a betting pool as to when he shows up in this thread.

[Vox Barbara]

For quite some time i haven't even noticed that there
was a blackout in these times. All of a sudden
(2001) my screenname (which was different back then)
wasn't valid anymore. IIRC. ;)

If you head over to General Disscussion you will see that he posted in the "Pre-Blackout Old Timers" thread on the last page I think. I think it was a couple of weeks ago. He seemed like an interesting character.
