There weren't fake accounts (other than "Administrator" and "Moderator"), they were friends of mine and business partners in FluencyNow (the English school we owned that funded the initial site). They just never got into posting on the forum.
it'll be 5 years for me in april, and it seems like longer, a good longer not the, oh god when will this end longer
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
I'm trying to figure out when I joined Abuzz. I know I'd been on Abuzz for some time before 9/11/2001 but I'm not sure if I joined in late 2000 or early 2001.
That was my first computer. I was in Brazil and got online to read the news from around the world, and followed the NYTimes links and it was the first online community I joined.
I joined A2K in February, 2003.
In case anyone hasn't spotted it yet, you can view any member's start date on their profile page.
Joined a2k on September 19, 2002, about a week after ehBeth, making me member # 15 or 17, or thereabouts. Signed up for abuzz just after the 2000 elections, beating Craven by maybe a month. His first post was maybe a roll call, so I signed in as present.

Wow, I would NEVER have noticed it!
i didn't notice either until today
it used to be under your avatar before
Same here except I joined Abuzz in 1999.
I can't believe it's been 10 years either. Where does the time go?
This thread has a "Class of 2004". People who joined A2K in 2004:
djjd
Cycloptichorn
Shapeless
Shewolf
Ticomaya
wandeljw
spendius
Foxfyre
CalamityJane
woo hoo, top of the class
I joined Abuzz in 1999, i think. A2K in 2002.
You were already there when I showed up, so late 2000 is more likely.
You joined after January 2001, and before May 2001. I know you joined after me (January 2001), and I know Diva and I talked about you when we met in Paris, which was the weekend Douglas Adams died (May 11).

That makes this our 5-year reunion. Congrats, all!
I just went to your profile:
I am very
impressed with how the pictures
just change
spontaneously; I did not know that was possible.
Its hard to read your profile, tho.

I joined ABUZZ in 2000. I can't forget that as the Olympic Games were in Sydney that year.
I moved over here in late 2002 - if I could be bothered to track it down, it would be in the first 450 members.
I am still waiting for some sort of 'cred'. However; abuse, personal vilification, insults and character assasination are still popular with A2K. Did I happen to mention: Fuck you all!!!
Mr Stillwater,
In recognition of the rocky mountain you've climbed to get here, I hereby present to you the Longevity Award. Don't pee your pants over it. It's been waterproofed.
