Poll: Am I the oldest 'subscriber' on here?

[Paladijn]

I can't believe I am the oldest subscriber to 'The Escapistmagazine' online. Surely there must be many, many more. I want to know who you are: post here if you joined before or around the 7th of august 2007.

And because I don't want anyone else to feel locked out: if you joined later you can also post here to congratulate me.

And fill in the poll I added to this thread (and vote for badges for oldest subscribers online).

I'm going to go with he has been around for a while, just didn't troll the forums, for the win.

That's my excuse, except I've been around a while and just never had an account. Go figure.

2007 doesn't feel that old, but then again I forget how new the community is.

Signed up to the forums recently, but I've been reading the magazine since either 2005 or 2006, probably 2006, but I really can't recall. It got mentioned on the ttlg forums and the link floated around for a few months before I really got into it.

I'm happy you're not one of those who joined sometime during late 2008 and got 2000+ posts by now... I see them as spammers for some reason 8D;

I might have been around then on my prior account.

This account was created on 19 June 2008, so by the powers of deduction I seem to have been around sometime before then. Ten months is a bit of a stretch, but maybe.

Strange thing is that I remember 'subscribing' to this site when it was only just a magazine. It was nothing more then a couple (but probably the most awesome available) pages with game-digest. Back then there wasn't a store, no yahtzee, no forum and 'Eve Online' the sole sponsor (that probably isn't true, but they are the only ads I remember seeing, talking about effective marketing!). I guess I subscribed because I was too lazy to bookmark or something.

Having said that... I feel real old.

By now you should have more posts............
huh

 

[Mstrswrd]

I chose other.

Older users are simply people who have been here, neither that much wiser nor more annoying than anyone else just because they have been here longer. It's the person that matters, not the amount of time they have been on the site.

agreed, how do people post THAT much, and still have every post actually be meaningful.

EDIT : whoa, I thought I joined in 2008, apparently I have also been around for a while.

 

[zifnabxar]

Paladjin, do you remember when they switched to webpages and dropped the pdf version? I don't recall how long ago that was, but it felt a lot more like a magazine then.

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

Most subscribers are old compared to me.

 

[squirrelman42]

I don't even know when I subscribed

 

[squirrelman42]

oh, wait, there it is Dec, 2k7

 

[GyroCaptain]

I've been here for a while, but not quite that long.
