The longest standing memberships on Explorerforum??

[rocket 5979]

I am just wondering how many of us old time Explorerforum guys and gals are still posting on here? I cannot believe I have been a member on here for close to 10 years! Do we get a medal or something when that happens? : Gosh how times have changed, people have came and gone, kids born and friends (Al) passed on since then! Here's to all of you other EF members who have been on here forever too.


Now I am off to try to search for my first few posts on the forum. Anyone have a good idea on how to do that? The regular forum only searches back to about 2003.

click you user name and then click " find more posts by"

You will have a list sorted by date. Go to the end of the last page.

or you can go to profile, click on "statistics" and then click "find all threads started by"

Thanks Jon! Wow I was such a newbie back then! I am laughing at some of the questions I asked back then because they are the exact same ones the new guys ask now too. I guess we all start somewhere.

Don't forget, there was a software change in 1999. Things restarted then..

I'm have a join date of 2/1999 But I'm account # 62.

My first created thread is showing as 8/1999 but when I look for my 1st post it shows that as being in 3/2010. Not sure why.. Maybe the show all posts can only show so many.

Thanks for reminding me of that. Seriously. My first posts were pretty goofy also. I had no clue what a forum was, let alone etiquette.

I needed that little humble reminder. Kinda like a little slice of patience cake with sugar coated goodness.

Some common questions that new guys ask are: What's the difference between a post, and a thread? Why can't I post a picture or an avatar (they are not elite)? How do I check my threads (user CP)? How do I start my own thread? Why can't I start a thread (they tried to start a thread in a closed or elite only section)?

I found that as my first "thread".. but I don't think that was my first post.

BTW, Rick, did you know your number 71. That makes you a newb compared to me

It's been like that for a while now. I tried to check my first posts (when I was Fenderguy), but it didn't work that way.

I remember hitting 10,000 posts thinking "holy crap, I need to slow down!" Now I have almost 20k! wtfbbq?!

 

[Rick]

I just upped the limit on the search. Now you can dig up those old threads

 

[Paraphoe]

Hahaha. This is an awesome thread. I haven't been here as long as some of you, but still 7 damn years is a long time. My first post, when I was just an 18 year old noober:

97 taillights
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys, I'm new here. My parents are selling me their 97 XLT. I don't really care for the taillights, but I like the 98 lights. Is there any way to get the 98 taillights to fit on the 97? They dont look dramatically different in size or anything, so I would hope I could swap 'em out without too much of a struggle, but I doubt it, because I haven't seen any 97's with 'em. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is an idiotic question. I'm new to all this stuff.

I was a year or so late in joining when Serious Explorations started. But being a member for so long I feel as though I grew up here.

Same here, Adam.
