h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As of last Friday, I've been on hootoo for 5 years. That's quite scary.

Happy hootoo-versary, and please forgive the belatedness of the wishes.

Time sure flies, doesn't it?

*scrolls down homepage*

8th august 2000.

That's 8 years this year for me.


Hang on

I'm only 26 years old. 8 years on one website before my 27th birthday is quite a lot. I feel old.






Given that I have been on a staff night out, you have no idea how long it took me to type and check this post. If you find anything typed wrong after the effort I've put in tonight/this morning (2am) then feck you.(they now come up with A pre-emptive check if you swear-I didn;t know that)

Did you fall foul of the profanity filter? It was introduced on 22 March, 2006, so nearly two years ago.

Oh, and Psycorp: I'll be five in June this year.

Egon, it's all typed perfectly.

Five years though. Five years, and I'm only 22 years old. That's almost a quarter of my life spent as a member of this website.

It really makes you old.

I didn't realize you were such a young'un, Psycorp! You're so much more "mature" than many posters who indicate they're in the same general age range. I'd have guessed you were into your thirties (no offense intended).

Now I *really* feel . My 6th anniversary is four days after my 36th birthday. That's only 1/6 of my life spent enjoying the site.

Wow, I had no idea I was coming across so middle aged...

I think everybody who doesn't behave childishly comes across middle-aged here.

Yeah, I don't think the forum allows for much middle ground.

They don't seem to allow for much of anything currently.

" didn't realize you were such a young'un, Psycorp! You're so much more "mature" than many posters"

He he. Really?

B

Oh, we all know it doesn't take much to appear more mature than you, B.

Not to sound like a suck-up, but I've always found B to be one of the more mature posters, too. In a wonderfully puerile kind of way.

So looking at A numbers I'm near B - but how do I find out how old I am ?

I can find a post from July 2002 ?

15 August 2002 is the date on your PS, McKay.
What skin are you in?

Alabaster

But I'd contributed to an entry on theme tunes, before I created my home page.

That's quite strange.

No. The entry itself was submitted on 10 August, McKays first post to the entry was on 16 August. We all know that the entry shows the date when it was created, that doesn't necessarily mean that's the date it was submitted, as I've just proven.
