Ok, so I think I need to chime in on this debate. This site was started on July 21, 2005. I was here the next day, so I guess you could say I am among the "original" members. I am not tooting my own horn by any means so hear me out before you get all huffy and puffy. I have been here "lurking" since the beginning. Even when I didn't have internet I would check in whenever I could. But if you notice I have a mere 18 posts (well 19 counting this one). Some people may say that it is because I have nothing to say but that is not true. If you know me you know that I always have something to say. My post count is so low because there is always someone else who can say it much better. For me post count is just a number that means nothing. If the post is interesting and not just spam it means more to me. And if you are just repeating something someone else already said it is pointless. I guess put it this way....I would rather be remembered for being a nice person who can occasionally help someone than a the person with the most posts on a board. I am technically challenged so I am no help when it comes to that stuff, but if you have a life problem then I am more than willing to try and help you figure it out. But hey that is just me. Laughing out loud
My case if very similar to Sara's here, except I was here before even this version of the site was created and I only have 43 posts, but that doesn't make me any less knowledgable, or show that I've been here well over forever. My post count has in fact been reset 3 times because of the frequent uptimes and downtimes of SD.org, but I didn't complain about it because it really doesn't show anything except how much you have to say. Which shows you that I have very little to say from time to time, and I only post where I think I can contribute to the thread.
