August, 2002 - in another account. Lurked on this account for a while, before setting it up Jan, 2003.
Back then, this site belonged to the BBC.

It looks like I joined in August 2002 - that's the earliest post I can find anyway.
Lucretia was my ACE.

I agree with you Fizzymouse....
I've been around for about a year, (although the first 11 months I didn't dare to 'do' anything)
Now I'm feeling a little bit confident, I have no idea what any one is talking about!!!! Loads of in jokes!
And I bet no-one replies to this comment!
But I do enjoy the humour...
when I understand it!!

I've been around for about a year, although I didn't dare to 'do' anything for about the first 11months...too intimidating...
Now that I'm a litle bit more confident, I have no idea what is going on...loads of in jokes!
Never mind, I'm a bit like white cat hair on your best black trousers....

I found it intimidating as well at first. At first being for the first few years! I felt like a newbie for years!.
The in-jokes are fun, but they can be a bit cliquely can't they? And they're not very welcoming.

...and why is it that sometimes it takes ages to see a posting, so that you think you haven't posted it..so you post it again ....and then the first post shows up and then you look even more like a Newbie....

I don't think the in-jokes here are unwelcoming... we're not one of those online communities that winks knowingly but keeps silent when somebody asks. And it's possible for new in-jokes to develop (I've been in at the start of at least one) just as it is for old in-jokes to fade away.
