How long have you been a member?

**Castlemaid** · 01-13-2011, 09:21 PM

Lots of new people on the board!!! Welcome to all, and enjoy everyone's contributions. Noticing more and more that recent members seem to be the bulk of activity lately (not a criticism at all, just an observation). I like it that the board is active with lots of posts. But I was wondering about just how many new members who have joined in the last year as opposed to regular "old-timers" like myself.

Poll is simple, did you join the board before 2010, or since 01 Jan 2010? If you are a long-time lurker who read regularly and only registered recently to post, consider yourself a pre-2010 member. If you are a long-time lurker who registered pre-2010. but has only been posting since 2010, then certainly you would be an old-timer to the board.

I have the poll set for 30 days - no sense having it run for ever.

I joined in December 2007 and been active since.

Joined like a day or two after we signed the papers to adopt Chance from animal control. Lol!

Been a member since March 2009, but didn't become active until a few months later.

I answered joined before 2010 (joined in 2006), but what exactly is a regular poster. My post count isn't all that high. I generally post in the police thread or in threads about police and police canine training. I dont' get involved in a lot of "yeah me too" type responses.

I joined May 12, 09. A day after I brought Sigurd home from his breeder!

DFrost, I would consider you a regular poster - you post regularly in the forums that are of interest to you. And your experience and insight and contributions have been very helpful to a lot of people!

Hmm, I don't think I worded my second question all that well - I hope it is clear that it is the choice for members who joined anytime after the 1st of Jan 2010?

I have been a member since May 17, 2009 a month before I brought Stark home.

I stopped posting here for a little while but am enjoying the active forum again.

I joined in 2008, before the new owners. I lurked from april 2008(when I got Chrono) to september before finally joining. Most of the questions I asked using google just lead me to threads in this forum, so I decided to join so I could ask my own questions. I'm a pretty regular poster, but I mostly only post in fluff topics. I don't have enough experience to be giving training advice since I've only owned 1 german shepherd who is still fairly young, nor have I been involved with the show/working/breeding/rescue world, so I only read those boards.

Looks like I'm the oldest in this thread so far. Class of 2002, woot woot!
