So How Long Have You Been Coming To This Site?

[Dragon78]

So how long have you been coming to this site?

I know I came here some time in 2009 but didn't become a member until December 2010.

[Oli Ironbar]

Long enough that I had given up all hope of someone actually coming over to sit and chat with me!! My fortunes have finally turned!

[Oli Ironbar]

But yeah. Early sometime around AR 4712.

[DeathlessOne]

Aug 26, 2013 was the date of my oldest post on this forum, though I lurked long before I posted. I've been watching Paizo since just before D&D 4e came out.

[TriOmegaZero]

I started frequenting the boards back in 2007, while I was running my first campaign with Shackled City. Still been chasing the high of that game ever since.

Apparently my first order from Paizo was 2005. I'm still using both of the dice bags I bought then.

[Arkat]

My first post on the Paizo boards was in October, 2005 about the Age of Worms AP. IIRC, the GM of that AP, Patman, asked a couple of us to respond to his post about a certain encounter in AoW.

Anyway, I didn't post again here until sometime in 2017.

[Valandil Ancalime]

2009 is my 1st post.

[Dragonchess Player]

Since 2006 during the Age of Worms AP in Dungeon. I stuck around through WotC pulling the magazines from Paizo and never looked back after the 4e money grab.

[Mudfoot]

First post 2012, but I must have lurked for a while.

[Tim Emrick]

My first post was June 2015, but I wasn't a regular poster until January 2017, when I started posting about my homebrew setting Pathfinder campaign.

[Name Violation]

Oldest post is from early 2010, but I lurked before that

[DungeonmasterCal]

I probably lurked some before making this initial Oct 11, 2010 post. Around tea time.

[Darigaaz the Igniter]

2010 was my first post, but I probably lurked a bit beforehand

[Waterhammer]

Looks like my first post happened in 2012. I didn’t hate 4th edition D&D, but when the play by post died off after 5th edition was announced, I came over here looking for a game. PBP might not have been dead on the WotC boards, but I couldn’t get a game there.

[Andostre]

My first post here was in July 2009, when I was looking for an in-person Pathfinder game to play in the Gamer Connection section of the forum. I found one! And we posted in our LFG thread extensively, and then my posting on the rest of the boards just sort of blossomed out from there.

(And I just checked, and my first post outside of that initial thread was in February 2010.)

[Dragon78]

Well so far no one that has joined from 2018 to now. No big surprise this is the 1st ed section and this site is not as active as it used to be.

[Sysryke]

I'm too bleary eyed at the moment to go hunting through my profile, but I'm just a baby on this sight. I think I came on somewhere in 2019, maybe 2020. So, I guess more a toddler than a baby :p

Your first post was on May 26, 2020. :)

*pinches cheek*

[Magus Black]

I got here near the begining of the Beta Testing for 1st Edition, missed the Alpha by about a week due to not knowing about the project. Still think Half-Orcs should of stayed like the Aplha-version.

...so I guess its been a while?

What were the Alpha test Half-Orcs like?

[Warped Savant]

My first post was back in 2017 and I had already been running Kingmaker for a year. While I was running that I heavily lurked before posting anything, and I had been very occasionally lurking since around 2013, I think?

I've never been super active, but I'm slowly regressing back to being a lurker :)

[Brother Fen]

In the year of Aroden 4714. I periodically get disgusted with the trolls and gatekeepers, but I always come back to chat about the game I enjoy.

[Mathmuse]

My first post was March 14, 2011. However, I mostly hang around the Pathfinder 2nd Edition forum these days, because I am running a PF2 campaign.

[Albatoonoe]

My first post is in 2011, but I can't imagine I was lurking around much before that. That is about when I started playing RPGs in earnest. Now excuse me while I wither to dust and ponder the illusion of time.

You sweet summer child. If you're turning to dust after only 13 years of gaming, what about us ancient ones who have been at it for 40+?

[Jenner2057]

First posted in 2006. I'd just started running my first adventure path, "Age of Worms," and was a lurker for a little while before posting. Good times when the Paizo boards seemed very active.

[DAOFS]

I've only been posting since spring of 4723, but I've been lurking since mid-late covid, when I properly got into the game. So I win at being the baby of the site. :)

[Mark Hoover 330]

I had another acct, similar name, but changed emails and subsequently forgot how to get into that old acct so I made this one in 2012. I wanna say I started lurking here in 2010 though.

I can't believe it's been more than a decade. Heck, I've been playing this game now... it'll be 15 years exactly at the end of August. How have I been playing that long, and I still mess up how Stealth, Cover and the monster ability Compression work? :)

[Wamulus]

I think my first post was around 2008. I basically never post, but I have skimmed through these forums about once a week since. This community continues to be great :)

They were more dominant and boasted about the conquests they were going to make next weekend.

[glass]

Apparently, my first post was in April 2007. So, a while.

Although I did not do much in those early days, as I found the forums really hard to navigate. I am sure if they have got better or I have just got used to them, but they definitely seem easier now.

[Dragon78]

I think the Alpha test Half-Orcs had different racial mods.....if I remember correctly it was +2Str +2Wis -2Int.

[ericthecleric]

First post was January 2006. I thought it might have been a year later.

[Dragon78]

Wow two more that have been here longer then me.

[Eldred the Grey]

I have been visiting the site since 2005 but my first post wasn't until 2012 just spent the seven years between lurking.

EtG

[Azothath]

*sigh* long enough people have died on me... try usenet

[Dragon78]

Azothath, do you mean people on the site or people in you new in person?

both. It's okay and a natural part of life. I don't want to be a downer but not everyone is a spring chicken. There's also life before and after Paizo.

[TriOmegaZero]

Same.

[Merellin]

I first started coming here in 2016, When I first played Pathfinder. Been lurking and occasionally posting ever since....

[Dragon78]

Merellin, So 2016 was the first year you played Pathfinder as well?

Yep, That was the year I joined my group of friends in Pathifnder for the first time, They had been playing for some time already but back in 2016 I managed to join them, Been loving Pathifnder 1e ever since. We played other games too, But PF1e is my favorite game of all the ones we tried.

[Dragon78]

Yeah PF1e is still my favorite tabletop game.

[Oli Ironbar]

Same. The crunch though is to the point that my friends just make up BS stats and feats as the GM and at lvl 15 we are all cool with that — like deflecting 6 ray attacks a turn, ‘why not’.

So yeah, not that far removed from 5e, now that I think about it.
