> I can think of people like Nyperold and unipeg/Kiki/Lynette, who both started posting to the Forum after I did (Lynette's first post was a few days after mine, Nyperold's was several months later) (this was in the days before RinkChat) who seem like they've been around longer than I have. In my mind they're regulars from The Olden Days. The regulars from The Newen Days include Sosiqui, Ellmyruh, Grishny, and flyingcats. These are people who I think of as hr4dc03r regulars but also think of as newer-than-me.

Sounds like a mission for the sort of person who likes doing this sort of thing: how about a list of names in order of people's first public appearance at Rinkworks?

I'm not sufficiently enthralled by how long people have been here to do it myself, but if somebody else made one, it would be interesting to read. Mainly so I could see how incredibly wrong all my guesses are about who was here earlier or later than me.

I remember my first appearance (September 1999, forum) because it coincided with the start of a new job. Checking any more precisely than that would mean re-reading my old posts, which is firmly in the "things I never do" category.
