Just was having a huge fight with groverat, "Ah the good ol days" and wanted to know who's still here from before August 2000. (Had been registered before then and then the damn thing went down for a while and forgot all my beautiful posts!)
I'm one. May 2000

I was here before that . . .
*Alright you ninnies, keep your opinions about how things were better then to yerself!
some of us remember BBS'ing on the Apple ][ via Acoustic 300 baud modem
feed the hamster, man that was slow.
Sure, I only had 2 posts my first year. But hey, still here the longest baby!
I was here back when AppleInsider's main page actually had rumors! That's what drew us here in the first place.
Horribly inaccurate rumors, but rumors none the less ('horribly inaccurate' is par for the course).
You should also note that close on the heels of JRC's "oldest" claim comes my petulant post about being the next oldest member...a dubious distinction, since all of you Chatty Cathy's are easily outpacing JRC and me on post counts. The last month has been my most busy time here EVER. Hoping to get busy soon so my posting rate here goes back down!
I did take some breaks from AI a couple of times. One was right after I got my Pismo (in Sept. '00). That extended into the blackout, and after the blackout, I came back for a while. I got tired of coming here at some point (I don't remember exactly when), but came back in full force last summer sometime?
Anyway, I'm here. I started here a while ago. I'll probably be here for a while, yet. 8)
AppleInsider lurker since June 1999.
Ahh, those heady days of P1 rumours, garish colours and surprise G4 non-releases...
