While reading Little Whip's forum post on manipulating points, I thought of a question I'm really curious about the answer to.

How long have you been here everyone, and have you ever looked to blog elsewhere?

For me, I've been here since 9/30/2003 12:11:02 AM and have never looked for another place to be.

Does loyalty count for anything anywhere? Even here?

Your thoughts, please. I'll be bumping this if necessary because A) when I write, most JUs are sleeping, and I want to know. (Don't worry...points from this article will maybe cause me to break into the Top 200 list)

Big bump for those that haven't weighed in. I know our "community" is more than 15 people, right? Right?

Valentine's Day, 2004.

This was supposed to be a knitting blog.....it turned into something else entirely. Yes, I have looked elsewhere, but I have yet to find anywhere as enticing as JU....so I stay here, regardless.

6/22/04...It was started as a project for my philosophy class. After that was said and done, I kept it going thinking I would archive my life during student teaching. I got engaged and the topics just kind of spun out from there....

(btw I got an A in philosophy thanks to this site!)

I tried blogging in a few different places, including JU. JU took a lot of getting used to, at first, but I can't imagine blogging anywhere else, now. I've been here a few months.

I've been here a year. I had a friend visiting last summer and she blogs occasionally on JU (she was introduced to JU by her sister). She encouraged me to try it and helped me set up my account. I was terrified to write anything and really intimidated, but it didn't take long for me to get really sucked in to it.

and you can see anyone's start date by right clicking their name and choosing profile, just thought i'd let ya know in case you dont get a ton of responses here.)

Actually, that is a Stardock.net ID date.  Mine (for this nick...I also have the legacy "JavaBrain" around somewhere out there) is: 3/30/2001 (which obviously pre-dates JU).

I've been here since before it was made public. And, Brad was here when it was still his private blog

Apparently I have been here since May of 2003 (which puts me in up in the top 5 longterm users here) but I didn't write my first article until almost 1 year later when I started writing (inexplicably) about marital communications.Link

Geez I was soft and cuddly back then.
