Yes. 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, Pathfinder, a home brew Mass Effect D 20, and I play tested Mythic last weekend.
Started as a kid (had no idea what the fuck I was doing) and picked it up again later. Been one of my favorite activities since.
On an unrelated note has anyone here run 20th level encounters in Pathfinder? The game I am running looks like it's headed in that territory... and I am very afraid. Will be the first in my friend group to run such high levels. Any advice?

Yep, and if anyone's looking to join a group in the Calgary, Alberta area, let me know. Currently running a 3.5 and a Pathfinder campaign, but I've had the monkey on my back since the days before it was 'Advanced' D&D, and have played in, run or created a shocking number of systems and campaigns.

Never have, but I've always been curious about it. In all honesty it seems like the paperwork required would resemble filing your taxes, but I would be willing to try it.
I used to, but all my friends moved away and I have since not been able to find a new group.
God I loved the game. We did a mix of 3 and 3.5 rules and towards the end we started incorporating a few rules from Pathfinder as well. Good times, good times.

Never had, I don't even know how to play. Nobody I knew played it and it sounded like there was a lot of rules. I had Mario Party 2 soooooo never needed anything else.

Yes, the first session there will be a whole lot of paperwork. That is a fact, but that is only because you will be creating a character sheet. From session 2 on, if you do it right, you should be using your imagination 80% of the time, coming up with cool things to say, fun things to do.... When in combat you will have to look up stuff on your stat sheet, after a while you should have most spells/abilities that you want to use memorized, so effectively you will spend much more time living in the world (you know role-playing) than you will reading and checking stats, as that breaks immersion.
While I love roleplaying games, D&D just never caught my attention. I tend to run somewhat oddball and minor RPG systems, which usually suffer from unrefined rulesets but make up for it in awesome settings (and the occasionally nice, innovative, and extremely flavourful mechanic). Case in point, our current Unhallowed Metropolis campaign, set in a world 200 years after the zombie apocalypse of 1905, where the players are living in a rookery in Neo-Victorian London hunting the psychic frankenstein-type monsters that have been running rampant in the area. Of course, my players being my players, they're rapidly turning into villains better than any I could have come up with (by which I mean that one of the characters has turned into a rather perverse and conflicted individual seeking to alter the mind to unlock hidden psychic potential in order to improve the lot of others in the slum, but he does it using absolutely horrific methods to shatter their psyches in order to access those powers).
Currently playing at this exact moment! 
I'm in 3 separate campaigns, two 3.5 campaigns one being an open ended one in eberron and the other an actual structured campaign. Then also a Deathwatch campaign, but that one's more so on the back burner with the other two going on with mostly the same people in each campaign. One campaign I'm a rogue/cleric hybrid, and the open campaign I'm currently going to be Indiana Jones, lots of tripping going on soon. Psion/Fighter/Pyrokineticist and Exotic Weapons Master, get to help my Paladin Cavalier murder things hilarious times are soon to ensue. I'm also going to be making an Arcane Trickster/Spellwarp Sniper so I can murder things with ray's

Yep. God, so many roleplaying games...
D&D 4e
D&D 3.5e
Pathfinder
Dresden Files
Call of Cthulhu (Originally the d20 system, but now Chaosium)
Mutants and Masterminds 2e
All Flesh Must Be Eaten
Warhammer 40k
And I've got resources (Digital character sheets and such) for a couple other systems that I want to try
In terms of pure D&D though, I started with 4e, but then moved to 3.5e

the D&D I like to (and really only can due to monetary & lack of knowledge) play are the old computer D&D games. When floppy discs were actually floppy freaking disks.
Do I play D&D? No. Do I play tabletop RPGs? Yes.
Tried 3.5 once with my brother. Actually played a few scenarios, but then we stopped because it was too much hassle with just the two of us. Also we were not really sure what we are doing at the time. I was 16, he was 14, and I was DMing as well as running 2 PCs and he was running 3 PCs so we would have your full typical party. Needless to say, it did not really work out. I would like to play D&D again, but have never really been able to get a group together.
Currently playtesting a friend's system called "Savage Kingdoms" that he designed and is hoping to put on the market and I am having a lot of fun with that. The setting is kind of a mix between aSoIaF and Conan, with some Tolkien and Arthurian legend thrown in for good measure.

I am, it's tons of fun. I play with like, 4 of my friends and my girlfriend. We play a modified version of Warhammer 40k, the table top board game. I say modified, I mean completely different. I basically just took the universe and models, then wrote an entire rule book. So yeah. I play DND. I also wrote my own version. XD
But yeah, it's amazing fun. We are currently in a city, after our Titan got fucked up. We had no credits, and so we had to climb our way back out of a shit hole. At the moment, we have just gotten a stable life. Now, me, the DM, has a secret leetle plan up my sleeve. Involving gangs. And temptation. And a LOT of money. Hehehehe.

Not for years. Started on D&D, then the 2nd ed. We played a little 3rd ed, but by then we'd moved on to better games and systems. Palladium's Rifts and BTS, Pinnacle's Deadlands, Scion... several others. But we never really went back to 3+ D&D.
