You're losing a biggish group Buttercup, who fit between 1 and 2.

i thought that would fit into 1 - 3 years

you know what i mean? if you've been here between 1 & 2 years you will be in the 1 - 3 year selection

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 4:19 pm

Think I joined in January. Grin. It does seem longer.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 5:36 pm

You've always been here, it feels like, Pam...................

I put 1-3 years.

I think it is 1 1/2 years.

well i suppose when or if anastrophe or tombstone answer we will know how long fg has been going :-6

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 3:21 am

Well I think that FG has been around for about 2 years now judging by the join dates of the first few people that joined. Perhaps Admin could enlighten us, then we can have an FG anniversary party!!

I've been here since February, 5 months, so there's no slot in the poll for me to tick.

FG Appears to have started July 2004

Hehehe I know I've been here for 11 months so no option for me either, but never mind hahaha.

Ah so this month is the two year anniversary of FG, if that doesn't call for a celebration nothing does. Here's too Tombstone and Anastrophe for keeping such a fantastic place up and running for the last 2 years, and here's for a lot more to come in the future!!

:yh_party

Acording to the members' list, Anastrophe's been here since July '04, with Tombstone joining in August. That must've been the start.

Funny enough, neither would I, it feels as though FG has been around for a lot longer doesn't it!!

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 4:01 am

Indeed. The only other chat forum I've ever really been associated with was the Virtual Irish Pub, Mark 1. I didn't care for any of the remakes. That goes back about 12 years now.

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 4:08 am

Well it just goes to show how many great people and discussions we have had over the last 2 years, to keep FG going and still carrying on strong today.

Chris and I joined around about the same time....generations apart, but when we actually met we got on well

Yep that's so true. I know that a lot of young people would never consider having any older friends, but if they actually took the time to get to know some of them, and even meet them, as I had the pleasure of doing, than they would get to know that there are so many people out there that they could become good friends with, and they all don't have to be of their own age group.

In the gray boxes that all our names and stuff are in, it says "Join Date", so it's pretty easy to tell how long a person has been here.

You silly people, you. :yh_bigsmi

Furniture!! Now that's a thought, minks. Did you get to the Salvador Dali museum in Montmartre when you were in Paris? Perhaps you could be this sofa of his!! (the pink trim matches your awesome cowgirl hat)

Doesn't it make you wonder how word got out by just those 3 starting members???? Anyone here recommend this place to anyone else, I sent word to Raven to join, beyond that everyone has been new to me.

Yep does make you wonder doesn't it. I'm guessing it just started with a few people looking for a forum to join, saw this one, and thought "why not, looks like fun," And before long people were joining every day, and over time turned into the great place we know today.

DesignerGal · Post by **DesignerGal** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 9:16 am

There is no choice for between 3 months and 1 year and that is how long Ive been here.

If I remember right, and FG was only a month old when I joined, I was shocked that it was such a new forum yet had so many active members. Right before this thread was started, I was wondering if anyone else had been here as long as I have. I am going to have to go through the members list some day, when I have all day LOL, and see who all was here about the time I joined. Quite a few times I have about said the heck with it, but something has always kept me coming back.

Welcome onsekiz.:-6 One day, one year, or longer, all the members are just as important. I think that is part of what has kept me coming back.
