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.


you got me beat by 4 months girlie.

How does a quick reply function work?

Apart from newsgroups this is the only forum I use so I don't have much to compare with.

This certainly is one of the largest out there.

I was stunned when I came here.

Since then I've looked at one or two others and they're pale immitations.

Don't know how I missed this thread.

I've been here less than two months. Seems like way more!

I did, of course, lurk for awhile before getting my courage up to join the Garden.

And boy am I glad I did:-6

I had a wonderful trip down memory lane looking for older members. I even emailed a few and told them to come and check out the changes.

Peg, have things really changed here over time? I'm a relative newbie so I wouldn't know.

What kinds of changes have taken place?

The pager, games, rpg, buddy lists, etc. Even back then we had a person I think may have been the reason some of them left. I think now the garden has the best group it's ever had.

It is interesting how forums change over time. I, also am one of the newer arrivals, but it seems I have been here forever. I am impressed at how new folks are made to feel so welcome.

Looks like I got lucky then:-6

ahh you are forgiven, as it's been an interesting topic, perhaps admin could do as has been mentioned prior, make a curve graph of sign up dates. Seems like recently we have had a mad flood of great newbies again and the stats would be interesting.

It was still an interesting poll, Butter. And now you know how to do them! :yh_bigsmi
