Which of you knuckleheads has been here the longest?
 

I never win anything. Maybe I have a shot at this?

you were all here when I got here-

You mean the internet or Pelican?

August 1998. As I recall, the board was around 6 months old. I started using my name as my user name. I could see the writing on the wall as far as that being a bad idea on the growing Internet, and changed to another name, lost that password a few years ago and started fresh again. Opposite from what I was in '98 and an Internet newbie, I'm big on Internet privacy now.

Here's a trivia question for other long-timers:


Back in the beginning ('98), the most popular forum with the most posting activity was __________________.

Not me: 11-04-2003

6-26-2001. I resisted joining for the longest time as I was getting plenty from my daily Porschefans digest......

Gotcha by a few months.

Rennlist, IIRC.
Gettin' old is not all it's cracked up to be.

Turns out I've been here awhile too.

Crazy to think how much has happened in my life since then:
Brought a wrecked 911 back to life.
Got married.
Got a doctorate, residency, and another masters degree.
Had two kids.
Spent 10 years in the Navy, lived in several places.
Finally settled back in Colorado.
Bought a practice.
Bought another practice.
Sold my 911, (to a fellow Pelican)
Bought another project car.
Still here.....

I invented the internet.

Missed it by almost a year, dude.

Sorry was replying to MAS. :)

Look at this bunch of losers with nothing better to do than post online.:cool:

I was on here before the swap over to this 'newer board' also. I think it was sometime in late '97 or early '98 as that is when I got my first 911. I was in between Pcars when it swapped over and rejoined in Nov. '00.

I'm amazed actually at how many have been here over 10 years. I was a young guy when I found this place. Now look at what happened to me.

You lose. :D

I should have been more specific, I meant the most popular forum here on Pelican Parts in 1998.

In the beginning, one of the forums here had just about as much activity/posts as all the others combined.

(Hint: You should be able to guess this one!)

That's "Mr. Knucklehead" to you sir.

I dunno. Let's see

Edit: looks like I have you beat by 2 months Motion.

You beat me...although I was lurking here for several months before signing in...as I figured I was too ignorant. Still ignorant, but lots of posts.
