    Technically, CP is the only one that I'm active in.

    SETI - 1999-05-16
    Code Project - 2001-01-05
    GIMPS - 2008-09-30

    Although the GIMPS one may be the oldest one I joined (1996) since 2008 was when they migrated from v4.0 to v5.0.

    I would tell you how long I was on Compuserve if I could remember my ID! I was on SETI as well for a while.

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      CP - 8+ years as a registered user, have been a leecher for some time before that. CodeGuru - About a year, I think somewhere in 2008 or so. (not active anymore) BaseNotes - Since 2010 or so. (less active, but very much into it)

        Based on your sig, you are part of linkedin. Whether its a community or not is arguable, but you are still part of it, aren't you?

          That is why I said oldest. LinkedIn is fairly new compared to the rest, as is Facebook.

            I'm also on LinkedIn - and I get job opportunities as close as 250 miles away to prove it - but that doesn't mean I am part of it as a community. To me, it seems to be a community made wholly of lazy, stupid recruiters... :laugh:

                I signed up to the Ramsnet email list for Derby County fans in 1998. I've been using it today to whinge about yesterday's result. After the match yesterday I was drinking with three others I first 'met' through the list.

                                      Apparently, I've been on CP for 6 years, 6 months. I'm going to just stay in bed on the 6th day.

                                      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                        Technically, CP is the only one that I'm active in.

                                        :bob: Member since Wednesday, December 13, 2000 (12 years, 8 months) and I was visiting it before without logging in... It is amazing to see how things have changed from those days... Apart of that I've not been member of any other community like in CP, robot-forum, which I use to answer and ask questions about industrial robots and apart of that mostly some Facebook (which is currently forgotten), Twitter (Which I use it only to read some people) and LinkedIn (which I have to reconfigure to not receive that amount of spam mails).

                                          I'm only really active in 3 now (for different reasons) CIX - well over 20 years, still use it every day - by far and away the best threaded conferencing system ever (and still is), but a hard sell these days as it's text only and behind a paywall. CodeProject - just about the most useful for code related things. Facebook - contact with friends and family. I have also used: Experts Exchange - a very comprehensive site, but the increasing demands to get you to pay for it (despite being an active contributor in the early days) or answer ever more questions, almost regardless of quality of answer, has gradually pushed me away MySpace Livejournal various other specialist fora None of which have ever held my attention, really.
