How long have you been posting on ENWorld?

[haiiro]

I lurked very casually on the second version of Eric's boards, spent a bit more time here when Morrus took over (still lurking, though), and started really posting in December of '03.

EN World is a pretty amazing place.

I've been around since early 2000.

I always thought Bugaboo simply changed identities after a while, and started to practice a slightly different form of schtick, because he became too recognisable...

P.S. I call it EN world. . . Not Ee En World.

Well you're frickin wrong biznatch.

 

[Bran Blackbyrd]

Pretty much since the beginning, though I don't post much (unless provoked ). I remember some of the EN Worlders from the old days, when the WoTC boards were accessible by newsreader.

I still have the MP3 of that song on hard disk,

Haha, yeah, I have that around here somewhere.

Well you're frickin wrong biznatch.

Precisely.

Oh yeah, and of course Eric Noah is My Half-Field Love Child...

I think I might still have that kicking around somewhere; great song

Having gotten permission to post a semi-off-topic poll from Piratecat, I ask you: how long have you been here? I have 4 broad eras listed. I admit my motives are entirely selfish: I want to see how many old-old-old timers like me are still around, as well as how many people are really new here. I'm just nosy that way.

Old timer eh? I have to admit that I am definitely a rookie on the boards and find it difficult to visit regularly. But as far as being an old timer, I'm guessing you never played the game in the days of the little orange and blue booklets that preceeded the Advanced Rules, like this old fart.

I lurked on these boards since before 3E, i remember the combat examples. And i`ve read piratecat`s story hour since the trillith. But i don`t know if that is second of first boards.

Twinswords,

Feeling old at 22.

I've been posting on the boards here since the very first board sprung into existence...way back when Noah first started this gig.

I remember posting on the very first thing that Eric had - you couldn't call it a message board, it was more like one long page with indentation showing the replies in a thread - a little bit like a newsgroup listing I suppose. I registered as my real name and felt a bit strange when everyone else was using monikers (ones I particularly remember at the time were Cyberzombie, Forgotten Hater, Crypt King and Ruin Explorer, as others have mentioned). I remember the first time that one of my observations was quoted and seconded by CZ, I felt so proud

When Eric moved to his first real messageboard, I decided to register with a moniker and life has been, uh, Plane Sailing ever since.

I remember when Henry (C'mon August!) first started posting on ENworld, having seen him on the WotC newsgroups. I remember when Piratecat first started posting about 3e as an insider (no rules broken, just encouragement!). and when his first storyhour started (The galley crewed by minotaur pirates was heading at ramming speed towards their vessel... Velendo jumped overboard holding his stone shield into its path and activated the shields "immovable object" property, leading to splintering of the minotaur galley. I remember thinking "Blimey, that all sounds a bit over the top").

If I worked out exactly how much time I'd spent on these boards it would probably be frightening. On the other hand, I've met some really nice people in real life as a result of them, not to mention lots of nice people in this virtual world. Still the best online community I've ever seen.

Cheers

I've been here since about 6 months before Eric passed the torch to Morrus.
