Mar 27, 08 04:29 pm — Call it a case of nostalgia, call it getting old and senile, whatever... I had been thinking earlier about how long I have been coming to this site and it brought back memories of the old "Geeknews" layout (in other words, I have been here a really long time now).

Then I started thinking about how many others have been around that long and realized that there are a whole whack. So, let's find out deifnitively. How long have you been around here and do you remember those early days as vividly as I do?

I've been around since 2001.

So yea. Coming up on 8 years. And yes, I remember geeknews or whatever it was called. dent and I used to be admins on it. The only reason all this was created was to make Joe some cash, which it did. I'm surprised this site hasn't just died.

I had lurked for a few weeks before that though.

I remember the link that brought me here, it was a Battleship game.
And the link that I read that made me sign up to be able to comment. (News story about a woman who killed her three children and said 'God made her do it' )

I wasn't here for the Geeknews days, but I've been here a while.

Mar 22, 2002 Wow, my 6th anniversary just passed. (actually I've been here longer than that...) I remember Geeknews, couldn't describe the layout.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia

I was here a few years, left for a year and some, then came back under a new ID. A friend turned me onto this site years ago and he has never even signed up.

I joined MV May 21, 2004, but had lurked on GeekNews for a while. I was actually quite pissed when it became MV!

Jan 23, 2003 ... I was a 'user' before this with a different name .. I can't remember what that was now though.
MV has such a fine collection of people and postings .. you can always find something to make you smile or shudder or smirk.
