It was 20 years ago today...


...that I joined the Audiogon community. Cheers to those that have just hit the big two oh, those that are about to, and the new members just starting the journey to connect in even better ways with the music that they love.

And my thoughts are with those that have left us and passed on. Patrick, I really miss you.

Congrats!
You've seen this place go through many phases, with their ups and downs. Here's hoping there's at least another 20 years for you to go.

All the best,
Nonoise
When I feel introspective it’s kind of fun to look back at what I and others were talking about, or for that matter not talking about, back when I joined in 2001 to get away from the world events of the time. I started out using Audiogon to source equipment. After a year or so I started participating in the forums. It was fun. Now I’m back to (mostly) just reading the ads.  Should change my moniker to 'oldbee' perhaps. :-)
Cheers to you viridian.
We have seen a lot of changes over 20 years, which was last October for me.
Most amazing to remember back from when I could not comprehend a world beyond the CD to today when we don't even have to touch physical media.  
I mostly joined to buy/sell gear and upgrade and started posting later.
I wish you well, and all of those who used to join in the discussions back when we were making cables and putting our gear on inner tubes.  I hope those who don't post anymore are ok and have found something else interesting to do.
BTW, Anyone know when our little club house was launched?

Hard to tell anymore. Several years ago when Audiogon changed the format many of the members actual start dates were lost in the change over from the old to the new.

albertporter start date September 29, 1999.

audiogon start date says July 17, 2010.
Looking at audiogon discussion posts it shows his first post on January 31, 1999
