Longest Serving member?

[pellicle]

Dunno, but gut feeling its @dick0236 who joined on this day in 2007 ... but if anyone active cares to nominate themselves I'd like to thank them.

Meantime I'd like to express my gratitude and awe to @dick0236 who for so long has done so much.

Hats off

a "guess" and search luckydip has revealed @Superbob as the potential nominee

22nd of Apr, 2005

I've found a few others who were members longer @epstns 26th Dec, 2002 , but he hasn't been as regular lately (positive sign of mental health I say)

anyone?

 

[Superbob]

Thank you for the nomination, mate. Now, I really feel old! Not sure I merit this prize, though. Will check and see if there are long-timers up ahead of me. (Nice that folks are thinking of us, though. Appreciate.)

In the, “Only posts when they have something great to say” category. It’s vitdoc well ahead of the pack. I didn’t even know reaction scores were a thing.

163 posts with a 210 reaction score (128.8%).
Leadville in a distant second at 61.5% (but twice as many posts).

Just to toot my own horn, I’m in sixth overall, but have well over twice as many posts as anyone in the top five

In the top 20 reaction scores, Superbob (8,426) and pellicle (7,522) are far out in front in post count. Way to keep the conversation moving, gentlemen!

@pellicle, you’d be impressed. I threw it in a spreadsheet! . Can’t seem to resize the image to post though.

Thanks, pellicle but there several active members that precede me.......a few all the way back to the beginning......about 2002. This has been an amazing forum for me and I have gotten much more than I have given. I only wish the forum had been around in my earlier years, +/-1974. If I had had access to the information from this forum I am very sure my stroke would not have happened. My intention is to stay active "as long as the good Lord is willin'.....and the creek don't rise".

Oops, never thought of that angle

But well done for providing active service here for 16 years

I on the other hand tend to blabber way too much ... it is what it is ;-)

I am at about 10 yrs. (relative newby) I am so thankful for all of you. You have eased my anxiety more than once with helpful information.

 

[epstns]

I really am still here, I'm just hard to see!

Pellicle is right -- sometimes life just pulls us in again. Maybe one of these days I'll find another avatar to put up, too.

good to see ya mate
I tried to make the title like "servicemen" (and of course women Stan) and if you're not posting you're not "serving" (and are perhaps retired?) ... I did deliberate over the title a bit ... oh well
