    Sadly, many of the ancients are gone from this forum, either by choice, by banning, or by untimely passing. I'd say more than half of the regulars from back when I started (2005) are no longer around.

    I think the member info from the very original (pre-2004) forum didn't transfer over to when they started using vBulletin. I remember when I started in 2005, most of the members showed 'since 2004' or something like that.

    Vanilla is so messed up. I have one of these so called "ancient" badges and it says that I earned it in October of last year (2017). That's not even a year! LOL

    ....and I have been here blowing hot air for over a decade.

    Shut up Russ.
