Board 8 > Roll Call: How many long time members still around?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been on Gamefaqs since I was 10, so thats 24 years. 21 years on Board 8.

Hope everyone is well.

What counts as a long time

this account just turned 23 so

I remember first looking at a guide here on this site as early as 2000, lurked the boards/posted casually as far back as Character Battle 1, and by the end of Character Battle 2 and certainly by the time Character Battle 3 rolled around I would say I was a regular.

Present

18 years I guess?

Maybe more like 15 since I started using the forums

Made my first accounts in 2001-2002, so I guess I qualify

i was around in 2002 for the contest but, true to the majority of my time here, lurked and didn't register until 2003

....probably could've hit "???" status by now. 5 1/2 more years, eh...

is anybody left who isn't a long timer

My account is 17

the account isn't old but i started posting here in....04, 05? something like that

05 I think

My account is 23 years old

Been on b8 about 20 of those

20 years on this board, account can legally drink in October

semi-lurker here since '03

I think in it was in 2004 when someone made a topic discussing if we would still be on GameFAQs 20 years later.

It could also have been in 2003.

I've been here since 2003

Present

2008 definitely feels like a long time ago

Account: 2003.
Board 8: Also 2003, I believe, though maybe as a lurker idk. Definitely posted in 2004 though because I remember doing so for the Games Contest.

I saw Cloud > Link 2003 firsthand

I first came to B8 in Summer of 2004 (obviously on my Robazoid account, not this one). That's 20 years, dang.

My main turned 24 a week ago.

Made my first account in '03, started posting on board 8 about a year or so later.

And I'm just now realizing it's been over 20 years wtf is this a joke

This board was like 10 or so years old by the time I found it. And it's crazy that was like 14 years ago.

I may have posted once or twice back on the forums in 2002, but I didn't become an active member until early 2003. I first created my (first) account in 2001, at age 15.

Stop equivocating. You were using the boards at age ten, weren't you?! =p

I started coming to gamefaqs in 2000 but didn't make my account until 06. Didn't visit social boards until 2010-2015 somewhere in that range.

20 years reading gfaqs forums as a whole (though my account isn't quite that old since I was the type of goodie-two-shoes kid to actually wait till I turned 13 before making it, lol), about 10 and a half years on B8. didn't realize just how long those were until typing it out, phew

Account is 17 but I've only been on this board for about ten years, so I don't think I qualify by either standard compared to most of y'all.

2006 here

2004 as Dranze.

20 years

i've only been here for about 15 years so young blood lol

Howdy

'03, but took a long break somewhere around ~`09-`16 ish maybe? Hard to remember exactly when I bounced for a while or when I came back.

I request a roll call for non-long time users

I rarely post, but I'm still hovering around. Think I first came here during the second contest.

First account was created in 2002
First came to board 8 in 2005

late edit: by 10 and a half I meant 14 and a half, apparently I can't count lol

sup

This account is 15 years old but I was lurking for at least 5 or 6 before that

15 years since I started here but I left for ages so eh

I still check in every now and again, but I'm not sure if that counts as 'still around'. Originally here in 2002, this account made in 2003. Always glad to see familiar usernames. :)

I only started frequenting this board as my main social board in 2015 so I'm still considered "new" compared to most regulars. But I've been on the site since 2002 and I always came to this board during contest season for bracket advice (starting in probably 2007).

First came to B8 in November 2006. Still posting daily, though nowhere near as much as I used to. You may remember me as "Andyman" from back then; this is my third main account (though its username changed at one point).

Almost 20 years on this account. I had another account for ~2 years prior to this one but I don't remember the details

XIII is cool turns 20 on the 30th of August.

Cool

My account is 19 as well. Had been using the actual FAQs for a while before that. First message board experience was participating in a video game ladder contest on Board 8, where you would post your high score for a specific game each day and have a cumulative ranking with all the other participants. Was fun.

This isn't my original account, but I've been here regularly since the 2003 contest. I pretty much just lurk now. It's cool seeing so many names I recognize still around.

This account is 21 years old, but I don't remember when I started going to B8
