This post made me say, 'bloody hell'..2004 me..lets hope I get another 7 yrs.

Admin...Does that mean all our dates may well be adrift as yours?

Coming up on 7 years if the date in my profile is correct.

No, I don't believe so. When I'm trying out a new feature or conversion of some sort I will usually test it on my own account first. I can only think that one of the very early conversions from the previous forum software went wrong and put the wrong date in the wrong place. All other early signup dates that I have looked at seem to be correct.

i like going to the link and altering the number to a low one to see the early posts so if you alter the link to this page for example

Are there any other regulars left from the very early days or am I the only one daft enough to still keep coming back ?

I'm still here! I think I remembered it was me & Breezer and a few others, the rest of the usernames was called Guest???

I am looking for my gold watch soon off the site.

I wonder where all the old names are these days.

MMJ, Pipme. Felix etc.

I have noticed that posters tend to use the same user names on other sites though.

Also, whilst we are on the subject, some user names may need updating.

For instance, 45yearsagasman is surely now 46.5yearsagasman. Unless of course he retired on joining Diynot.

Lol, I wonder if that's the longest wait for a reply?

Aaah, but did you break Rule 1 in the process, "unhelpful posts"?
