Trying to find the longest serving alky in this pub

Just wondering...

Sweet.

I Noticed the year thing in the new profile thing.

Doesn't account for reincarnations I guess though

Found it when it was hosted on Rivals in 99/00 and Bart was making millions!

Think it was around the same time as I met my wife, so cant have one without the other....

JK

Think I joined in 2006 when I was living in the UK and needing my NZ sport fix

Donsteppa

16,000 odd posts down to 800! Been here since circa 2000

JK

Actually my profile says 12 years so guess it was actually 2004 then

Catogrande

Just before the RWC. I had been on a site named The Haka but following the England win in NZ got sick and tired of being called a cheating pommy fluffy bunny and migrated over here, where I have only been called a cheating pommy fluffy bunny every couple of months or so.

Edit: Fluffybunny filter not working

I remember the wicked weasel ?? ads

Clever marketing campaign to snare lurkers there by Bart!

Nepia

9 years for me.

But I used to lurk long before that - I think even lurked pre 2003 world cup. No idea why I didn't join, probably just too lazy.

Hooroo

I think I joined in 2001 after a year in England. Met tonnes of ferners in that time. Most awesome, some pork chops and some just a little bit weird.

I'm a really dedicated non-deleter of files as I reckon you never know when you'll need them. The oldest file I can find is dated 30 October 2001 and for some reason it is a HTML file of a story by Bart on John Mitchell's first squad selection. Reprinted below for your viewing pleasure.

My first article on cricket was early in 2002 (2 Feb) so I must have been hanging around for a while before that.

"Another All Black touring squad...

Next Sunday, The Gaffer names the first All Black squad of his test match coaching career. Yes, John Mitchell will stamp his first mark on the Men in Black. Thirty players to go on the Ireland, Scotland and Argentinean tour, and a pile of changes coming according to our mate Deaks on Sky TV.
Here is the team me and my team of selectors would like to see selected, lets see how good Mitch is!!

Test Team	Midweekers

15 Leon MacDonald (Canterbury) Ben Blair (Canterbury)
14 Doug Howlet (Auckland) Jeff Wilson (Otago)

Who knows how accurate that selection will be, but with the help of my co-selectors HappyMeal and Sausage, that's the squads we came up with. Feel free to slate us on the message boards..."

Actually, I may be thinking of Planet Rugby...

EDIT: 8 years ago, it says. For this profile But there was a "Nick the Aussie" floating around here before that.

Rembrandt

12 years...damn I am getting on a bit

mooshld

13 years. I am like the Mark Richardson of ferners with a ridiculously low posting average.

Smudge

13 years. Although I reckon that's overselling me by a year. I read a great ''match report'' from Canerbry about his boozy day at the cricket and started posting after that.

Baron Silas Greenback

MIne says 46 years.....
