I first joined in 2007, 2007 can you fucking believe that? I think there are only around five people who joined in 2007 sill posting, at least that I can think of. I joined at the end of 07 though so you had might as well call me one of the early 08 crowd. There might be more from 07 but hell if I know them. I can't think of anyone who joined in 2006 that still posts, not including the staff obviously. I've noticed a lot of change on these forums but none of that's really important.
Congratulations on making it to 1000 posts, although to be honest it's hardly something to get excited about. Still, if you hang around long enough you'll be one of the few people that joined in 08. Soon, maybe, people who joined in 09 will be rare. Than maybe 2010 joiners will be rare. It's interesting to see who is getting filtered out by the moderation team and who just plain leaves. It's interesting to visit old threads and see users that I haven't seen in a long time and will never see again. When I remember the thread it does get quite Deja Vu-y, kind of like watching a family video that you haven't seen in a long time. So then Original Poster, look forward to that stuff. It's both a gift and a curse to have been here for awhile.
My first post was something about the Wii controllers. As with all of my first thousand posts it was poorly crafted and nothing very special. No doubt that in the future I will look back on this post and feel the same thing.
