    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.

    My Oldest Community was 'Kinder Garden' ;P Because when I was a kid there was no playgroup. I am just messing with you because of your reply to Abhinav, Hey you forgot to mention Oldest 'Online' Community :-D

            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.

                Used to hang out at mIRC a long time ago, but it only lasted a few years until ICQ came and went.

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

                        :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.

                            Baen's Bar - late spring/summer 2001. Don't have a hard date because of multiple platform migrations since then. HardOCP - 2005-08-06 for my current account. I had an account from around the same time but it was deactivated for inactivity at some point. Code Project - 2005-05-13 Einstein @ Home - 2005-09-04 WarfareHQ/wargaming website name of the month club/Don Maddox's continually renamed site - joined around 2000; left around 05 due to a combination of getting bored with the main game that kept me there and mounting dysfunction in the site. IF it's not dead now, I'm not sure what it's called.

                            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                                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 am from the UK but currently based in the US. I once applied for a job in Kuala Lumpur I had found through LinkedIn. I didn't get it but now I get lots of "opportunities" considerably further away than 250 miles!
