Who's been using the forum for ten years or more?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I?ve been on for 11 years. Met some brilliant people and sold lots of things throughout the years.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Peckhamgatecrasher and PeckhamRose. I bought something from one of them soon after joining but can't remember which.

I?ve posted 5,636 times across just over 11 years, registering on 26/02/2007.

I do miss a lot of people, but some new people have come along and are just as entertaining.

To find myself listed on a thread about long term posters makes me feel somewhat institutionalised, ?part of the furniture?, and to think I?ve always tried to stylise myself as the outsider, a working class hero battling against the gentrified forum clique. How ironic.

I see someone did not like my " Baptism Of Fire". As soon as I started quoting Nietzsche the thread disappeared...lol

Foxy you aren?t far off from the magic 10k posts. At which point, your forum self will implode and you?ll need to do a Doctor Who and reinvent yourself.

11 forum years old today !

I've only been on it 3 years but you lot make it feel like fcuking 30

[Robert Poste's Child]

Have to say I don't miss the days when the clique was at its height. Sometimes it seemed as though if a quorum of them shared an opinion that was different from yours, it meant you were 'proved' wrong and bullied into submission. That was why I deleted my first profile and took a break. I find the forum more inclusive these days, even if the lounge is quieter. These days when people take issue with each other it tends to be more about what's being said than about personalities and groups. Just my opinion, though - others may well remember it differently.

Almost 10 years for me - joined in Feb 2009. Mostly a lurker, love reading the posts of East Dulwich of yesteryear!

Did you organise the monthly forum drinks? I think I met you at a couple of them.

[indiepanda]

It'll be 10 years for me in July. I don't post that much but it's made my life in East Dulwich for me - the forum drinks that various people have organised over the years have introduced me to many people who have gone on to become close friends. It's a big part of the reason I've lived here longer than anywhere since leaving home.

[Loz]

8,651 posts in just short of 11 years. Oh, dear. Though I do like when, like today, old threads get resurrected with old posters like annaj and Moos.

(I'm trying to think of who RPC's previous self could be.)

[FriendsOfTheTerrapin]

Not 10 years, 9 days short of that...

Not much of a contributor, but an avid watcher.

I guess we all play our parts.

Hurrah to all that and long may it continue.

Yes I used to, we had some good nights out!

[Siduhe]

Me! Registered a few days before Louisa, but well behind on the post count.

I sneak in.

It was all about The Barry Barry Road Race for me back then...

[Robert Poste's Child]

The BBRR looked all set to become a permanent fixture on the ED calendar and I loved that it had the recklessness of something with medieval folk origins. Why did it stop? Were too many people sick or injured?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

It peaked with 75 "runners" and lots of spectators. Thankfully no serious injuries. Folks moved away and I suppose life got in the way. I will have an enduring memory of an avocado running down Barry Road, and the large spill out of folks from the Clock house onto the road. Fun times, and on paper easier than it actually is to do!

I never entered because I'm a rubbish drinker and there's no way I could have made it down the hill without falling over.

[bob]

Think I'M 06 we had some good times at the ED Drinks night's arranged by Georgia.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Bob, are you and *bob* different people? I think I may have confused the two of you.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

2010 was a good run. There was a better video..

Hilarious. Is that a woman running in flipflops?
