Holy hell, people have been posting here for fourteen years...
Some even longer. Apparently there was some great server crash or reformat in 2000 that reset the join dates, which is why all the longest-term posters have the same registration date in 2000. I don't know when the original forum began but it existed in 1999.
Personally I can't believe I've been here over a decade now. And still just two albums in that time!
