12 years a GAF

Same, for this account. I never could recover my bud_brigman account, which was started when Nintendo's "Star Road" console was being talked about (the GameCube). I think I had a NetZero email address, and I couldn't access it to recover it. So, in the 20-something club as well—22 officially this September.
The same thing happened to me, couldn't recover my TeTr1C account. I barely posted but it would've been cool to have my original one.
 
12 years only?

20 years? How old is this place?

The oldest post I can find of mine here is June 2004, so 21 years ago. However, I was a long time member of the old GAF days, in the old forum before it became NeoGAF, so I've honestly no idea how long I've been a member here.

It's a long time though, back before the Dreamcast, GAF played a LOT of PSO together online. If I had to guess since 1999 or so?

Never tried Op-Ages. I *did*, however, join the purple forum during the exodus, but like others, somehow, I have returned. EDIT: Ah yes—my other account was pre-NeoGAF.
Edit edit: But I'm being rude: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

While I miss the Dreamcast technical pages, Video Game Imports and Gamers Republic forum days, I do love NeoGAF even if it's full of PlayStation generation fans who still think the PS was the 1st CD based console and FF7 was the 1st RPG ;) :P
 
Joined in 2009 but lurked for a couple years prior to creating an account. Almost 20 years scouring this site for gaming info…crazy!
 
I've had this account and been coming here for 21 years, literally since high school. Many memories here, moments and just fun. I would get my gaming news from these forums.
the other webpage just can't hold it no matter what.
 
Click on your name.

Huh, that's a neat tip! You don't even need to click, just hover over the user name and you can see the join date.

Looks like Vyse Vyse is the only one in this thread who's been here longer than me, he is June 7 2004 and I am June 8 2004. That makes me think the migration from the old forums to these new forums was probably the first week of June, 2004. Interesting bit of nostalgia and history. 😎
