20 Years?

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.

Congratulations to the OP...

And i observe that he mastered self restraint about his posts/ time ratio...😊

I am sorry to say that entering here in 2016 my posts ratio is way higher than his...

No self restraint in my case , no enough  humility i guess in my case and loneliness and love of discussion as excuses...

😊

Anyway the good news is most people here are better behaving or more wise than me and it is a very happy fact...

August 9, 2003 for me. 21 years this summer. As others have said, time sure does fly. Congrats on your longevity 💪🏼
