Yeah they come and they go but a few of us have hung on.
Some have left us permanently; Jimmy Ropes for one. R.I.P.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Apparently I've been visiting since July 2001. 22 years and 2 months.
And yes, I'm most definitely still active.

My "crap I'm old" moment came a few years ago when I walked into our local Cub Scout pack roundup meeting and one of the dad's signing his son up had been in my son's den in the same pack.

Members with numbers below a few hundred like me and Ravi B are those who were on the list Chris used to send out the initial invites to the site since were members at the previous site that shall remain nameless. My participation here has varied over the years but I am on the road a lot less these days so I am more active. I spent a number of years on the road and I wouldn't want to do that again with the state of travel these days.

Member # 196 that's quite in the beginning really. And still around. Great. We have seen some changes to this site, haven't we?
I have been out-of-business for some years in-between, burnout and all that, but cant let go of programming.

I'm not as active as I once was, but I'm still here 23 years later. It actually might be a little longer, since way back when there was a database problem, and everyone got assigned a new, later join date.
Will Rogers never met me.

But then again, I don't really exist, so it's moot.

19 years 7 months for me.
A colleague put me onto the site when I asked if he knew of a library to ease coding on a C++ DB project (I think it was a JSOP article that met my criteria almost as if it had been written just for my case).
I mainly lurked on the site reading the lounge posts and daily newsletter and looking into various articles to answer questions and such. I didn't become active on the site itself until I retired 5 years ago.
I came for the technical know-how, but stayed because of the openness and civility.

Openness, civility and general friendliness is a great plus here!

CP used to be part of another site--completely forget which--and then went independent. On July 6, 2000, Chris had to change something (new database?) and join dates were all reset. We would have gotten our pitchforks and torches but were too lazy.

As a younger member 9 yr 8 mo
This is one of the most enjoyable group of professional people on the internet
Diversity of interests,backgrounds and real programmers
Some of you have pushed me to learn new ways when I started learning C#
that was very meaningful as a novice wannabe create of my own programs
I am 78 and have lost most of my childhood and high school friends from Ohio
and now live kind of remote in the mountains of Arizona few friends
So the Lounge is a little bit of social life with people from all over the world
Just enjoyable Thanks to All that reside here
