20 years of membership
-
Even a bit more, since official membership was on valentine's day in 2002 - but I have been there from almost the beginning on, before TheTerribleDatabaseCatastrophee, so you can probably add two years to this. (here the screenshot : CP in 2000[^] I am bit nostalgic of the early days, where I could help a lot of fellow programmers in the C++ forum with Microsoft Foundation Classes, and also helped shaping this website piece after piece. I can still remember the day I joined the community - I had a question about Embedded Visual Studio, in times where embedded code for automotive in C++ was .. stuttering, I was sitting near my buddy who was doing an internship with me, in the office of one of the big automotive company (the one with a star) developing diagnostics systems for embedded ECUs, and he told me "Hey, I found a cool website, maybe you can ask your question there". From there on, the addiction began. :-D Got to know a lot of very, very nice and talented people all the way, and still very happy to be in the community. Career got me away from new technologies, C#, web stuff and so, but still enjoy going through Q&A to see what I could have known :laugh: Cheers CP and Loungers, and thanks Chris for the technical help your site provided and ... for the rest :beer:

Well, Google compromised alert brought me here, and I realize that I need to change my CP password since it was marked as "compromised". I log on to the CP and notice that this is my 20 years of membership too. I still remember the old days, when I use CP to solve my project and works (by copying and pasting the code), had some chit-chat on the Lounge forum but was afraid to respond to some threads there since English is not my mother tongue. But yeah... I feel you buddy, happy 20 years of membership for us. Cheers.. :beer: :beer: :beer: PS: I even keep my signature from 20 years ago

>22 years here. I fondly remember being kept company by the Lounge crowd in the wee hours of the morning, while rebuilding the company's transactions records (Ace Hardware) that got deleted for three days by a manager, using paper reports to repeat ever transaction. The group kept me (relatively) sane those 36 non-stop hours of data re-entry. Good times.... :sigh:
