I was just visiting my own profile (yeah... the vanity...) and noticed that I joined in Nov 2006! 2006!! I was 16 at that time... still in high school... and now I am about to graduate from university.... Anyway, I remember when I first joined EC, back in 2006, it was because I was redirected here from another affiliated adult site for being too young. And back then it felt like a "demotion" as EC was like a barren land. But now I am just so happy so see how it has grown and has become a massive supportive group. (&&&):tears: But yeah, just wanted to express my gratitude to this support group that has supported me for FOUR years! (*hug*)
And yet you still won't leave? Naw, I'm kidding. EC has come very far in the last few years (even though i've only been here for a little while)
I know what you mean. When I joined in late 2007, things were different. A different feel, totally different members. Probably 90% of the well-known members weren't even around at that time. It's nice to say I've stuck around for so long.
I feel kind of strange being one of the people who have been on here for quite awhile. Hard to believe it's been two and a half years. It's been amazing seeing how things have things have changed over time, from members to just the feel of the site in general. Sometimes I wonder where some of the posters from when I first joined have ended up and how things have gone for them. I think my favorite time on EC would have been back around January-March of 08. If I remember right, that was before the first big security changes, before the picture thread had to be deleted. Not that I don't enjoy it now, and maybe it's just because I'm reminiscing about only the good parts, but the site was a lot of fun back then.
^^ I also joined October 2007!! I didn't realize it was that long ago. I joined the week I realized I was bisexual and I've been here ever since. A loooooot of stuff has happened since then, but I still love EC as much as I did at the beginning.
