I'm not on much anymore, so I'm posting this before I forget. On November 3rd, 2015, it'll be 12 years. smile More of a lurker with only 703 posts (including this post).

I did a quick hover-over visual of active users, and it seems my userid of 395 is from an ancient time. The only people I could find with lower than mine were: Doug Ritter (expected!), Blast, and jshannon. Everyone else seems to be 500 and above.

Interesting to see how much has changed, but I'm still amazed that ETS Forums are still full of respectful posts. Something unheard of today. Maybe that's a combination of our great mod team and small corner of the Internet.

Anyone else from this ancient time?

Have you seen anything significant change with the user base here?

Anything that you are amazed that we have after 12 years?

The iPhone wouldn't come out for almost 3.5 years later, changing everything!

Wow, congratulations! I've been on a few forums that long but not this one.

I haven't been here as long as you, a three-year difference.

Welcome back, grandpa, LOL

yep, lots of things have changed
Many names are no more

Time to time I wonder how they are doing, and even wish them back .... except they may be enjoying quiet times in their own small corners of the e-world

I think I am number 95. The form says I registered in 2002, but I think it was earlier than that.
