    1999 on Netscape Navigator IIRC.

    And I still put my hand on my face when I'm reading on here lol.

    Time really freaking flies.

    How long have you been on here (assuming it's different than your join date?)

    Why the hand on face in shock?

    Was it because tinman was chasing away all June 99ers and later?

    It's getting a little vague in my memory now -- I think 1997. That'd mean a 20-year anniversary is coming up for me. Damn, that's messed up.

    Been on here since the very beginning. And mentioned to Clutch he should add a bulletin board to his website. So here we are. ;)

    I also put my hand on my face when reading the board.....and many times shake my head. ;)

    Early 1998 but didn't really care to register until later. The only message board I posted on at that time was the Jim Rome Smackchat boards, and only in the sports section. Those people in the "Smack" forum scared me, and then I became one of them...then decided to finally join here after my nervousness of message board posting at work subsided.

    I've been lurking since 2001, and posted on a joint account with some friends for a while. Then one of the guys I used to know started posting some really stupid **** under that account, so I decided to make my own. In fact, he still posts stupid **** to this day from that account.

    Around 1997 as well. Was a teenager looking for anything Rocket's related & it's been a mainstay ever since. Registered later in 2002 only since I had to for some reason to access the forums.

    Around 1997-1998...and still lurking :)

    As I recall, there was some event that required action to re-register and I slacked on that 'til 2002.

    2006... It was the Ryan Bowen contract April Fools Day joke that an old roommate showed me that got me to start coming to the site.
