You used to be able to look at your profile and see when you actually joined here, can you still do it as I can’t find it?

No. But then that date only went back to the big hack anyway.

Ah ok thanks 👍

I find it’s better not to know.

16 years of Big Hitting right here.

Didn’t your big hitting end a couple of years ago?

About a million years with interstellar gaps due to drunken over-sharing / abuse-giving / bans.

You can still read the forum from 17 years ago 🙂

About 10 years on and off for me. Do I get a prize?

about ten years I think – with a couple off for being too much of a twerp

You registered October 2009 OP.

Could use google custom date ranges for searches. I did a search on your user name for content reported as being posted between 2000 & 2010 and nothing turned up. 2010-2011 however… edit: but wtf do that for!?

Pre hack. Way to long.

Pre-Hack, 2003 or thereabouts, IIRC. About the same as cynic-al. Ah, those were the days! (Gazes whistfully into the hazy middle distance…).

A very early adopter here, cant really recall my original username, possibly the same one I was using on Bike Magic. Lapsed in most senses of the word for a few years and rejoined at some point after I resumed biking. Which is about as accurate as I want to be 😁

2000ish, maybe before. When it was the old name – Force 9?

2005ish as i remember being caught on the forum by a boss. Lesson learnt – always choose a desk with back to the wall.

About 2000/01 I think as it was when I lived in Birmingham and I moved to Hampshire in late 2001.

Well, I’ve got all the magazines since Issue 16, 2004 – joined soon after.

Not hit anyone in that time.

Thankyou Drac 👍

2003 when I started looking for info on Verbier girlie week

@sanny got me on here in 01/02 I think. Survived the big hack and decided to lurk and not rejoin…lasted a week before needing to respond…

2003 when I started looking for info on Verbier girlie week

think thats how many also ended up here 🤫

2004ish? Might have been later as I remember buying lots of bits (and a trailstar with z1’s I never should have sold) whilst at uni and didn’t have a job in my first year so that would have been 2005 possibly.

Facebook wasn’t popular. You still needed a university e-mail address and an invite to join, MySpace existed but I think a lot of people I knew were on faceparty, which had more in common with pornhub I seem to remember! How things have changed.

I first posted over 5 years ago so I probably joined in 2013. New boy at the party.

9th August 2005

Pre hack, 2003/4. Under a different name then

@dickbarton, same as me! Thanks to Sanny when I joined GMBC in about 2000. It was a different life then so I went under a different name.

Facebook wasn’t popular.

The Facebook was for Harvard only in 2004 so must have been a bit later.

2001 for me but looked visited a bit before that.

Haha…there probably aren’t many things people will publicly thank @sanny for…well done you! 😉

when was go-far?
