[bowdlerize]

I just lurked and didn't sign up until the "10,000 members" announcement so I have been around longer than my forum membership.

[Frozen_Heart]

I always think of myself as one of the older members but in reality I'm new compared to some people on here... (see sig for actual join date)

[Curveball Anders]

I'm in my 40s, does that count?

No, you'll have to hit 50s before you're allowed to try jokes about age, and/or whine at the youngins.

[Pursuedtank]

Same reason why any of us who registered before a certain point in 2012 weren't: we registered before the last date of the database backup that they restored the forums from.

As far as I can remember the forum crash wiped out almost all accounts created from around mid October 2012 to April 2013.

edit: For anyone interested I had a look and the last account created before the wipe was jeroenhoi98 on the 19th of October 2012. The first account created after the wipe was Arestris on the 18th April 2013.

I think there is a way...

[Wjolcz]

Does it count if I was lurking around without an account by the time 0.9 was released?

Also my previous account was slain by the forum kraken back in the days.

August 2012 people report for duty!

anyone still active that joined before me

[Mars90000000]

I've been following the forum since early 2011 but I only registered a year and a half later in June 2012.

I mentioned it in another topic, but Kryten over at The Science Labs is one of the posters who's still active and predates the majority of us. Obviously HarvesteR has us all beat.

I know I posted earlier, But I was lurking around 11-12. Played the demo. I finally bought it in late 12. Lost my account.

[Merinsan]

I joined the forum sometime around end of 2012, and then got wiped out by the forum crash. Prior to joining, I lurked for about 6 months.

[Felsmak]

I think if you go far back enough there may have been some forum wipes and crashes, but I'm guessing Harvester.

HarvesteR is the original member from which all other members were born.

Correct, I joined around December of 2012 and the forum wipe reset me to April of 2013. I'm by no means one of the older folks, but I've been here a while. Picked up the game around 0.16 and really started playing around 0.18 (which is when I also joined the forums).

[Vanamonde]

Since this is about the forum rather than the game, it has been moved to Kerbal Network.

Alejandro (whoever that is) seems to be the first real member of the forum community. The guy registered even before HarvesteR.
