    Thanks, everyone, for your kind words! I still love this place as much as when I joined, when I was drafted into the sinister interspace called the mod team, and when @Thunderfinger showed me his private parts and said, "See? I told you so." ;)

    Happy 40th birthday and 17th anniversary to not only one of the best people on this forum. But in the world!
    Dimilicious, without your 'wind down room' in the mod house. Or your access to all those pills, powders and plants that keep us sane. I'd be a completely different person.
    And I'm a better person for knowing you.
    Hope you have the best day my friend. Congratulations <:-P

    17 years ago today, I joined up on the old forum. For years, I believed it to be the 31st, but according to the Way Back When Machine, I actually signed up on the 30th.

    Congrats, Major. We joined the same year, you and I. The forum wouldn't be the same for me without you.

    Congratulations on 17 years of membership, @MajorDSmythe. That goes all the way back to the KTBEU days. That's a great achievement and it's good to still have you contributing here. Thanks for all your work as a mod here also. :)

    Thanks everyone.

    @Benny is another '05 member, October, I think. There's a few of us forum dinosaurs still creaking around the place, not ready to be pensioned off just yet. ;)

    Congrats @MajorDSmythe !! Great that you're still here. I think I've been on these boards since 2006. Sadly, the wayback didn't capture any of my posts so I can't check it, but my memory, or whatever is left of it, says it was august. So, I guess I've been here for 14 years.. @DarthDimi , I think you signed up a year earlier than me, isn't that correct?

    I think it is because I recall signing on in 2005. I remember it well, because that's when speculation on who was going to be Bond number 6 was at an all-time high. Also, I was working for a big American chemical company at the time of signing on, and that was in 2005 as well. I started teaching in 2006, the same year CR came out. I remember that very well too, because I told my students they absolutely had to see the film in theatres. Funny, I was only about 6 years older than they were. ;-)

    Ha, cool. I was already lurking, but it took me over a year to sign up. Maybe all that craig-not-bond stuff kept me at a distance, as I thought he'd be a great Bond. He delivered far more than I thought possible, but that's something else.

    Yeah I also remember lurking a bit during the KTBEU days. I think I had joined that site for what felt like an hour before I quickly felt unwelcome and bailed. Took me a couple years to join under this new forum.

    Who made you feel unwelcome?

    Oh I have no idea, that was ages ago, probably anywhere from 2007-2009. I do think I didn't help my case because I had opened a thread that was a duplicate or something to that effect and, in my teenaged mind, the response probably felt way more harsh and unwelcome than it actually was.

    I wasn't modding yet so it wasn't me. 😁
