It's been ten years as of yesterday!

Hey, I've been here 10 years, too! 11 next month! How time flies!

Happenings Ten Years Time Ago

Wow

Just... wow.

I reported in from Tacoma, WA 10 years ago yesterday as a new APUG member. (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

In those 10 years, I've pretty much just lurked but occasionally posted images and silly threads.

I love this place and miss some of the folks who used to hang about. Arigram (r.i.p.), eric, blansky... people like that. Some of the old guard still hang about and that's comforting. I just wish more people would post about interesting problems and less about stuff they are selling. That's just depressing.

Hello and congats....I joined in 2003 after reading about APUG in B+W Photography magazine. Lang may the analogue lum reek!

Going to be 3 years and 4 months from now for me. Yes, I'm one of the guilty party when it comes to selling gear. Obviously, as most of you know, that doesn't mean I'm leaving the analog side of things. It just means that I have too much stuff, and I need to shrink down for a few weeks before I go on my next buying binge. ;-)

So far, I've met five APUGgers... Ralph Javins, flatulent1, MattKing, Brian_Legge, and a member who was selling an F3P body last spring from Bainbridge Island. Forgot his username.

Anyway, 'grats on the 10 years...

I didn't realize it until reading this thread - it will be 10 years for me in January. Time flies with (mostly) good company.

Congrats John!!
Maybe we can *actually* meet and hoist a beer in your honor. APUGgers in the Seattle/Tacoma area, wanna meet in Seattle to celebrate John's birthday and my 10 year APUG anniversary this weekend? Bring camera and appetite.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Thanks.

I'll actually be in Tacoma on Friday. Headed to Ehli Auctions to pick up an impact wrench that I won during their Cyber Monday auction.

Ten Years , I've been married fifty years this September, you don't get a sentence so long for murder these days in the U.K.

It would be interesting to see how many "old" users are still active today.
Something like this:

select count(*) user_name from all_users where user_creation_year=2004 and user_last_login_year=2014;

And to run this for all years from 2002 till 2014 !

I've only been here 3 1/2 years, but I am over 65... :grin:

Was in the afternoon. Drove through there around 2:30-3ish. Wanted to get back to Duvall before 6 pm. We'll meet up sometime.
