From what I can remember, on and off about 5 years or so. First person to welcome me was Elna, a bit of a legend on here. How long for you. Alanthemanc

    I joined just over two years ago and I'm here every day apart from when the forum isn't working or I am somewhere without access. I log on when I'm resting between 'bursts' of what I like to call activity but others would call pottering. :) DD

    Are you still celebrating that City win, mate??? Just check on the usernames at the side of each post to see how long we've all been here :roll: I'm a newbie. (And a liar :wink: )

    I have been posting for nearly 2 years now but I will admit I have been a bit hit and miss these last few weeks.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I joined in April 2008 but didn't post till August 2008.

    I generally look in most days and only post if I think I can help or contribute in any way.

    I've seen a lot of posters disappear, some people go and come back and new people come along all the time. There are many users I miss but nothing ever remains the same and new characters always emerge and make our forum family a rich one. :D

    They say that most people don't stay on a forum longer than four years, due to waning interest or other commitments though some of our members have been here beyond that time ................looks like my time is up :shock: :wink::lol:

    Luv,
    Love, Legs x

    Yeh, just about recovering.
    Elna, wow, seems like yesterday,
    Frog, wow we must be bobbing on now, we seem to have been on here for years.
    Some old familier names cropping up, and of course the voice of reason D.D. Alanthemanc

    This thread set me thinking long and hard about who first 'talked' to me. I know tillytop was one of my early 'welcomers' as we joined at around about the same time, I think frogmorton spoke to me and skezier. Barbara12 wasn't far behind, and our lovely Dorcas too.

    I always try to say hello to the latest recruits and I thank those who remembered I talked to them but Alan, mate, me the voice of reason? :shock: Now that shows you don't know me! :lol: Mind you, I have come up with one or two corking replies on some of your threads haven't I? I reckon my best to date was on the one about politicians and religion. Dunno where it came from but it was a cracker! DD
