I have been a part of the B12 Forums for longer than they have existed, because I am a time traveller

I have been a part of the B12 Forums from the literal moment they started to exist, because I am either Toady One or Threetoe

Hoo boy, I thought I was a lurker. I'm guessing that 01:01:01 has something to do with the forum transfer?

It appears so, a glance at other people from that forums signup era says they all have the same. I've absolutely no idea when I signed up by this stage. The transfer caused a number of oddities like that, and I believe some of the older posts being unsearchable via the profiles of those that made them.

Jesus Christ almighty. Are you the patron saint of lurkers? i mean... damn... tell us about what you think of the forum I guess. I mean, you have the experience I guess...

Sure, I lurk a bit but I'm more a procrastinator though than a lurker. Pop on, scour threads of interest.
As for a little about what I think of the forums, honestly, the community exploding on them was a surprise as they went from these quiet forums with a few oddballs - I part way called it in the lead up to DF with a remark that this could be what Toady's remembered for, but I never expected this. It's not a bad thing though - you get a few bad people in any community, but this one has a fair number of creative and helpful people at its core who try to see each others point of view and avoid escalating potential arguments.
In a way I miss what it was before, but I matured (to an extent) along with the forums, so that's just some misplaced nostalgia.

No, the patron saint of lurkers is Jifodus, with his nearly 2000 actual days of lurking over the course of ten years.  But 12 years of membership is pretty awesome too.

I believe he said at one point that he runs something to auto-refresh the page periodically so he remains on the active list - not that this takes away from that, no, a tool assisted lurker's someone who's serious about their lurking after all.
Comparatively, I'm just that crazy person that bursts out the closet in tattered rags, proclaims my existance, asks what year it is and retreats from the sky-orb's evil glare.

6 years, it seems...

Since version 40c or something, maybe at the time it updated to 40d, which came around 2010, so 6 years I guess, though I had a different account then.

8 years next month. 2D 4life bitches...

And that's just since I registered. Pretty sure I browsed for a year or so before registering, though only in the upper boards initially.

(I just realized that means I've spent nearly 20% of my life as a member. Daaamn.)
