Thanks for the update. You've been a BEA member for 24 years now. 
I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't mentioned it. Sometimes it seems so long ago it was a different person who did those things then, other times it seems like it was yesterday.
I've been here longer than that even, maybe 26 years. The old Pulse comic is 25 years old this month. I remember the older forums, I think there was even more than one. Things have clearly been wiped more than once. The first forum I remember was the really old tree style one where everything was a vertical list with almost no graphics. It was dark with white text I think.
Thanks for the update. This thread started on 2010, but you've been officially a member since 2001. Now, since I was navigating/lurking this forum in 2001. I officially joined in 2003, and this forum has had a few meltdowns during this time whereupon many of the posted images have been deleted and the structure has changed. Yeah, things are different than before.
