20 Years?


I was logging in and I don’t know why I didn’t take notice of it before, but I just saw that I joined A’gon in 2004. 20 years.  Makes you think. That’s all I have to say about that.

Times fun when you're having flies! I joined early on. Before that it was the newsgroups and another site I can't remember the name of. Before that it was classified ads in Stereophile and two different bulletins that used to get mailed monthly. One was AudioMart from Crewe Va. Who remembers that one?

@thecarpathian You'll be the first to know. I never understood anyone who said if they could go back in time, they'd never change a thing. 

All the best,

Feb 11, 2001 for me as my official join date. 23 years.

i hung around Audiogon for maybe a year before i joined when i wasn't on Audio Asylum.

i miss the days when the system page threads were mingled with the other thread topics and system development was a much richer topic. more attention to relationships, system changes, and less on gear acquisition.....and less community tolerance for bad behavior and blatant sales agendas.

but it is what it is. still a worthy place.

monetization of Audiogon is just how things go.

My first post was in September 2001. Don't recall when 'joined'. Most of my posting occurred in the first 5 years and it's been downhill ever since. Things have changed. :-( 

FWIW I agree with and share Mikes observations. For myself though,  I'm not so sure though that it remains a worthy place for me to spend any real time.
