Referencing off SM's heart thread, just how old are we as a group?

Lounge residents only please, because we're old and get off our lawn.

edit: So I didn't bump up years, so 20-25, 26-30, 32-35, 36-40, etc.

The Lounge itself is 15 years old. I think DaveW is the longest tenured monkey regular.
i had a prior username that dated back to 2003... lost the password and email info, started my current account. granted i wasn't very active with the prior account, 10 posts over 2 years.
Well you were mature and cultured enough to be accepted by us. So you had that going for you. Congrats on your tenure.

Most of us came here from the great MTBR purge or the Zonic Man era...

I came during the MTBR elective exodus, pre-purge. Abe told me about it and signed up the day after my 21st birthday. Still have no idea how I knew what a computer was at that point, because that party ruined me.

Damn. Didn't realize it was that high.

explain? i didn't join empty beer until recently, and that's really only for their regional forums
MTBR went downhill very quickly once ZonicMan and the youth discovered its existence. Massive amounts of trolling. I can't remember who initially started it (IAB, BV?), but it was part of an exodus by grown-ups to a higher level forum. The mods were much more judicious with trolls and it kept things at a higher level. Also picked up a lot more industry people at the forum was established. MTBR is still the "I just started biking!" shit show.

I was invited to Fall Monkeyfest 2009 and was advised to join RM so I could meet some monkeys before I get thrown into the Monkeyfest madness. I've been to almost every Monkeyfest ever since then.

I think the key to my success to not getting scared off right away was that I didn't start a "hello, I'm new here" thread with my first post.
