          Professional coding: equally since 1986. Hobby since 1980 and I am still doing it. Something about it must be fun. :)

            22 Years and 1 month... but what counts as "active".... I haven't done any real development for over 10 years... but I always have a look around the lounge every morning ;-)

            Who the f*** is General Failure, and why is he reading my harddisk?

              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've been coding professionally since 1981, as a hobby since 1978. As someone else said, it's been a wild ride.

                          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.

                                          Damn it, just saw that I am longer member at Codeproject than some of my work colleagues are alive. :-D Does that make me feel old? Nope. Am having fun with that. How many are members here since 20+ years and still active?

                                          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.
