I am officially *OLD* - I have been on COTH for 20 years!

Wow time flies! 16 years ago… too bad it looks like any posts pre-2009 aren’t available anymore (at least not via search and I’m not seeing anything from before 2011… surely from 2003 to 2011 I had something to say!). That would be a fun time down memory lane. Isn’t there an archive somewhere?

The “favorites” forum has a lot of older threads in it, and you can find older threads in the other forums by simply using the page number buttons at the bottom of the forum to go to the last page. For example, page 939 in the Eventing forum has threads from 2002. Threads that did not reach a certain number of replies used to be purged after a while, so that is why many older threads disappeared. I’m not sure if that was a feature of the board software or done manually by the mods.

My goodness! I am 20 years too. It has been a great ride. I do miss several people. CactusKate, Wihelm, Portia to name a few.

I’m so old I remember being part of the thread where we went from Erin to Mod 1 and Mod 2.

If that makes one forum old then I am too. That does not seem like it was that long ago.

On the topic of old, this is an older (not old, just not current) thread.

Congratulations! I’m not far behind you.

I don’t post or read nearly as much as I used to, and I just noticed that my “join date” was 20 years ago!

I’m getting close!!!
But yes, it makes you feel old. When i think of all of the changes in my life since I’ve been on here…family los . Pets lost, posters lost, married, Jet retired…

That’s funny, I accidentally resurrected an old thread about being old posters I’ve been on this BB through so much life stuff! I probably don’t post enough, honestly. I’m old enough to have been a noob when the original BB crowd was still in its heyday, how’s that?

Yay!! Im a spring chicken…lol

[nunyabusiness]

Had to do a name change, but I’m probably at 20 years too!

[clivers]

No nice to see so many names I recognize from the early 2000’s *waves hello

[missgrey]

Wow! Time flies!

[ladybugsbw]

You all are not old!! Only wiser!

[Wojjie]

Soon to be 21.

I’ve been on COTH only a few months longer than I’ve been in Virginia. Where does the time go!?

[kookicat]

Checking 😂

Okay. Excuse me but how have I been posting on here for 15 years?

[Duckz]

Only 13 years, but I’ve been lurking longer than that. My favorites were the old Willam(?) threads with the German horse who typed in an accent.
