How Long Where You Here?

[Jin]

How long where you here?

[PaperLuigi]

I've been here for a grand total of 3 months and 14 days.

EDIT: "Where" should be changed to "were." Oh, and I've been here since June 12, 2005.



I''m-a Luigi! Number-a one!

Since... February 12 or something. I remember it being about 10 days before my 13th birthday.

My friend John: Wow! I can see my own breath! It''s already that time of year?
Me: No. Your breath just smells. Really bad.

[Bigluigifan1.0]

I think some where back in August of this year.

Ever since April 23, 2005...ah, yes.

[Jin]

i was here for a while

[CoconutMikeNIke]

According to the E-mail with my password, I joined March 10.

Fungi Forums-Because it''s the stupid, pointless thing to do!

[Ambulance Y]

I joined early March '05, or something like that but I've been gone for like three months anyway.

[Markio]

Since June 28, 2003.  That's... a few months over two years.

[Mr. Wiggles]

I joined in May 2003. Wow, I didn't realize I've been here for so long.

 Kelso: Guys this is a game of Cat & Mouse between me & Hyde. I''m gonna make him admit he''s been going out with Jackie behind my back.
Fez: Guys, what happens in Cat & Mouse if the cat is retarded?

[Vidgmchtr]

Quite awhile. I forget, actually.

Longer than Chup, I know that.

[CashCrazed]

There's only one way I'll ever remember this one.

*Digs up password confirmation email*

It says March 17, 2002. So yeah, I got a lot o' history here, although some of it isn't too good. I also think I joined like a day or two before Insane Steve.....

[superstarMASIAH]

I've just about been here for 1 whole year, and I never plan on leaving.

But burning in my heart, the memory smoulders on, of the gunner''s dying words on the intercom...~ Roger

Did anyone else notice how much cooler Vid is than CW all of a sudden?

Time slowed and Reality bent.
But on and on the Eggman went.

[Jin]

I had to make a new email adress to join back. And That Takes Long!!!

[Black Mage]

 Three Years Six Months and Seventeen Days.

 My first post was debating with Captain Nintendo about Squaresoft's decision, now come to pass, to start developing on Nintendo platforms once more. March 10, 2002.

[Koopaslaya]

December, 2003.

[Insane Steve]

@CashCrazed: I think it's closer to two weeks before me... I was near the end of March of 2002.

I want to say March 28. Or 29. I joined to post a thread about the 21 red coin oversight in Extra 3 of YI.

~I.S.~

[CashCrazed]

Well, the user IDs correlate to the time when you joined, and the difference between Black Mage's and mine is roughly half the difference between mine and yours. Since he joined a week before me, you must've joined about two weeks afterwards. So you're right. Sorry, I ain't so good with dates....

[Vidgmchtr]

Hmm....

...I'd say, the Summer of 2001. But, that's just a guess. As I said before, I've been here for a long time.

[Lizard Dude]

I see at least two of you joined on Mar. 10 day! Neat!

Lizards in zoos are really dudes - dudes using disguises everyday.

[smfan1085]

Just over a year.

Marioguy's been here for a very long time.

“Of all the people I know, it is expected that Watoad will say ‘cheese’ first.”

[Watoad]

(Correction: He was here for a very long time.)



A little rearrangement for the purposes of sensical meaning:



You long here how? Where?



I have longed for different things in these forums. One example might have been a longing for closer friendship, which I pursued by posting feverishly to make sure that meeting up in LA was a success. Longings of mine have also been known to appear in my signatures at times.



Long for what you don't have, and you'll be unhappy; be satisfied with what you do have, and you might qualify as inhuman.

[BP]

My first post was in the PMTTYD chat. For a while I felt like a total n00b, but then I noticed how many more new guys are raining into the FF gutter. How long does it take for you to not be a n00b, anyway?

Edit: I dug up my password email and I was wrong. I joined Feb. 4, 2005, EXACTLY 3 weeks before my 13th birthday.

Hey... who was the first one to join (other than those in TMK's staff)

I can talk English more better than you.

Until you realize it doesn't matter.

“Of all the people I know, it is expected that Watoad will say ‘cheese’ first.”

[CashCrazed]

I'd say it takes until you can spell correctly and post semi-intelligent material to move out of n00bhood. And I'd place my bets on Fifth being the oldest regular besides the original staff(Deezer, MB, David, JJ).

[Luigison]

Since I only meet one of Cash's criteria, I'm still a noobie by his definition.  Which part applies to me depends on your point of view and the post in question.

Although I've only been a Fungi Forum member for a few years, I have been "here" longer than anyone else.

"Everyone dies, but few people truely live."

[Watoad]

Chocobo, zootalo, Mario Maniac, and Lola Prue were here before Fifth, but I suppose that they've all flown the coop by now, too. :/

Luigison, I claim newbie status before you. ;P

[BP]

I've not seen a post by David but once, and never by J.J.

[CashCrazed]

I've only seen David post a few times(and one of them was a threat to shut down the forums over one stupid topic I made.....That's right, he hates me :P), and J.J. I've only ever seen do it once. But they're still the "original" staff (i.e. the staff that held for a long time before they started hiring people right out of the forums).

Luigison, you don't post semi-intelligent material, you post completely intelligent material. So yeah, I guess you're a n00b too. Sorry.

Edited by - CashCrazed on 9/29/2005 2:46:50 PM

[BP]

OH MY GOD. I've just learned. David has made 191 posts. And if you think that's low... J.J. has made 16 posts. Thanks to some reasearch from this one I found a topic that J.J. made here . Go there to check his profile.

(Parentheses are cool.) "Quotation marks are cool." "Punctuation. (is?) cool!"

[CashCrazed]

Most of them were in the very early ages of the board.

You might as well bookmark that page if you ever want to find anything old on the forums, because they've gotten so back that the search rarely works. Unless of course, the admins can turn up the timeout setting for search, but I don't know if they can.

[BP]

I was unaware that the search worked at all.
I think I'll just go bump that topic up so we can still get back that far.

It''s in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it''s in the same place but now it''s got a big hole through it.

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Watoad: "you've got a friend in me!  Yeah, you got a friend in me!"  Speaking of friends, thanking for being so considerate and answering alsmot all of the questions in my emails.  And thanks to Fifth also who drew a picture of a Yoshisaurus and sent it to me (I still have that picture and like it).  And anyone else, thanks also.  Little things like this mean a lot.

Oct 20, 2004 is the latest date I could find in a topic.  I think that I may have deleted my password email, doh!  But at least I know that my estimated anniversary is coming soon.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Six years, two months, two days, fifteen hours, forty minutes, ten seconds, xx milliseconds, xx picoseconds.

My first post was replying to Lizard Dude saying that I played the tuba in school (I believe for a topic he made about what instruments we played).

Since I was 13 years old when I joined, I was pretty noobish and kept that up for a while. I've read some of my old posts (as a 19 year old going on 20 here soon) and I am disgusted with a lot of them. For some reason, I basically acted like a ******bag toward a lot of people without the need to ever do so which, in retrospect, is kind of strange to think because I'm not that type of person in real life, so that kinda earned me this "Anti-Guy" reputation here, if you don't mind me using a Paper Mario reference.

I guess I could be compared to Niko from GTA IV when on the subject of my place in this forum.

[Weegee]

I never plan on leaving.

Don't you hate it when they say that and eventually disappear without so much as a farewell?

[Chupperson Weird]

No, I really don't, and in his case, not one bit. At all.

[Mr. Wiggles]

The keyword in that post was "plan" Weegee. Plans change all the time and there's nothing you can really do about it.

Also

Wow, I didn't realize I've been here for so long.

Why am I still here holy [dukar] I've wasted 6 years here.

[Trainman]

Why am I still here holy [dukar] I've wasted 6 years here.

I ask myself that often.

[Glorb]

I've been here for like ever I think.

[Ultima Shadow]

4 years, 10 months. Holy crap. o_o

[ShadowBrain]

That was a heck of a bump, Trainman... but you know, this thread's still relevant.

So, I've been here since March 04, 2007, 08:51:28 pm. That's...... Two years, seven months, seven days, and about nine hours? Wow, it seems longer than that... I had always meant to make light of my, uh, anniversary twice, but always forgot.

[Shroomy95]

I used to have an old account, but i started a new one, so sence June 24.

[WarpRattler]

My account has existed longer than everyone else on this page except Mr. Wiggles (and this statement will be invalidated if Lizard Dude, any mod except for Bird Person, or one of a couple of other people posts on this page).

And Trainman, you can't even begin to question something like that when you left for almost a year, took two six-month breaks, and made several shorter sojourns comprising a month or two each. When you can actually say you've been using the forum for more than half of the time your account has existed, you can complain about "wasting your time here."

[Luigison]

I'm just posting to invalidate WarpRattler.

[Pt_Peach]

December 14, 2005 marks the date I joined. That was 3 years, 9 months, and 28 days ago. I've been here since before I was allowed to be here, as a 12 year old.

[WarpRattler]

Thanks for getting that out of the way, Luigison. I knew someone was going to do it but didn't know for sure who.

[Mr. Wiggles]

My account has existed longer than everyone else on this page except Mr. Wiggles (and this statement will be invalidated if Lizard Dude, any mod except for Bird Person, or one of a couple of other people posts on this page).

For some reason, I thought you were registered here before I was. Same for Jake and a couple of others I've forgotten.

[Trainman]

When you can actually say you've been using the forum for more than half of the time your account has existed, you can complain about "wasting your time here."

Any instance of using this forum is a waste of time.

[WarpRattler]

Says a man who keeps coming back of his own free will and using the forum.

[ShadowBrain]

Trainman has just introduced me to e-masochism.

[N64 Chick]

September 13, 2006 according to my profile. That would be 12 days before my 21st birthday. Yeah.

[Trainman]

Says a man who keeps coming back of his own free will and using the forum.

It's only a waste of time when dealing with people like you who wait at moment's notice to strike down whoever you have a disagreement with or want to make a "witty" comment about. Oh wait, that's all the time. Seems like you love trolling threads with replies from Forest Guy or me in them.

Oh yeah, in that case, to save you some time, I'm probably gonna go post in the "All Drugs Should be Legal" thread after this post, so be sure to click your way over there as fast as you can so you can pick apart my post. See ya there, man.

[Forest Guy]

Apparently August 9th, 2003. That was during a dark time in my life when I was a total dweeb. Then I stopped coming since I stopped being a dweeb. Then I started coming again since I missed it. Then I stopped. Then I started again. Then I stopped again. Now I just sorta come back whenever I feel like I'm in too good of a mood and want to be berated by people on a Super Mario Bros. message board.

[Chupperson Weird]

I'm going to estimate your opinion of yourself way higher than anyone else's opinion of you here.
It seems like both of you guys are just completely sure you're totally right. And also you both happen to be the biggest whiners when you're called out for BS. Grow up.

[Mr. Wiggles]

Did we ever nominate you two for Best Couple?

[Forest Guy]

I don't estimate I'm always right. In fact the reason I come here is for debate, and heaven knows you can't be right all the time. The problem is that instead of semi-authentic discussion, you're met with personal insults and blind elitism based off of events which transpired 6 years ago, simply because you have the luxury of hiding behind a computer screen and moderation filtering.

Perfect example being the 'If the World were a person' thread, Chup. With the irony of my post going straight over your head, you immediately proceed to inform me that I have a problem. Or the talk about Skype billing me for something, and you immediately ask if I'm sure I wasn't making calls. That's a question which assumes I'm an idiot who enters credit card numbers into random forms, and can't read. You say I think too highly of myself, and maybe that's true. But you seem to have a problem yourself, namely with condescending people.This is a video game message board, not a self-help seminar. It's that kind of self-righteous police work that people like you conduct here that has started many unnecessary conflicts. Name one time I have ever needlessly flamed your personal character based on some unrelated statement. Do I like you? No. I dislike you intensely. But I'm not going to stand here and preach to you about how you're an inferior person, because not only do I not care, and not only is it wrong, but this isn't the place to do so.

[Chupperson Weird]

Me telling you that you think you're a lot better than you are is pretty different from you telling me that I'm an actually inferior person. I never said I was personally better than you. No one's as great as they think. I trust I need not point out that this of course applies to me as well. Also, you're right about the implication present in my Skype question post, although I didn't realize it at the time. It still doesn't explain how they knew where to find your credit card info, though. Finally, you can't claim that me being self-righteous is any different from you doing the same. If you act like a jerk to everyone, don't expect them to say "oh, he's right to be a jerk to me". You may have noticed that I'm more of a jerk to you than I am to most other people here. This isn't how they teach you to act in kindergarten but it's a sizable amount of the reciprocal behavior you're going to encounter from actual people (males especially).

P.S. Claiming humor after the fact is easy. I can just as easily claim that you missed the "irony" in my post succeeding yours.

[Forest Guy]

In what ways am I telling you you're an inferior person? I'm just trying to tell you it's pointless to instantly jump all over anything and everything I have to say. I understand the concept of being a jerk, as I am a tremendous jerk. The thing is, I'm not going to be a total jerk on a place where I can be moderated and suspended for being such a big jerk. Lastly, tell me, how often do I act like a jerk here without any provocation. And I mean that seriously. Because I did that a lot in the past, and try to not do it anymore, so I may be doing it involuntarily. But if I am, give me an example, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

[Glorb]

It's the Chup and Trenman and Forest Guy show!

*vaudeville act where everyone beats each other up with canes and tries to upstage each other and then they wave their straw hats*

[Weegee]

In fact the reason I come here is for debate

Acceptance is the first step towards recovery. Good job.

[Mr. Wiggles]

*vaudeville act where everyone beats each other up with canes and tries to upstage each other and then they wave their straw hats*

FUND IT.

You could also throw in WarpRattler as the straight man and Weegee as the instigator that sneaks away before the trouble begins.

[Chupperson Weird]

When do the trouble beings sneak away?

[Turtlekid1]

Right after Weegee.  Didn't you read Wiggles' post?

[Weegee]

Trouble beings are renowned for their uncanny ability to point out typographical errors and insignificant logical fallacies.

[Luigison]

This is one of those cases where a post should have been quoted because now that it has been edited CW's post makes no sense. 

[Chupperson Weird]

Man, I was just playing along because I thought it was an awesome typo. :(

[Mr. Wiggles]

Haha, I finally defeated the typo-comedians.

This is one victory I'll never forget.
