If the "joined" date is accurate, then I beat you by a month. 
I'm #2!

Same with me. Packer Plus Online. I remember getting our first 'puter (Mac) during the AOL days and getting on the "World Wide Web". I had the spinning world thingy and took forever to load up. Being in NY I was searching for any Packer news I could find. Stumbled on The Journal Sentinel and Packer Plus. Also found an NFL chat room that was pretty wild. My name on the chat was Conrad Doebler!
I googled "Sasquatch" for a research paper I was working on and BK's X4 profile link led me here. I never left.
Triggered and reported as hate speech.
Countdown for Pakrz to get cancelled

You guys are making me feel…older.
@EC Pack posted:Man, forgot about Zbuds.
Craziest thing I remember about Zbud’s was when one of the younger members was missing. His significant other was on the board as well asking any members if they knew any info and could help.
It did not have a happy ending. Apparently he had walked out on the ice at nighttime and fell through on one of the rivers near GB and his body was found at the bottom some time later. I think his name was Clarence Ronstad or something like that.
Edit: I think his name was Clarence Rogstad. Found in the East River and was only 23 years old when he died in 2004. Pretty sad.
Besides this site, I usually check out Packernet for news and updates.

There was a guy on the old AOL forum that used the same moniker. Probably signed up 20 times under a new account after getting the boot. Pakrz, Pakrzz, Pakrzzz, Pakrzzzz, etc.
On the other hand, we could use some "good" noobs just to keep the board going as some of us (a lot of us?) are not in our 20s... or 30s... or...!
Prior to the websites, I used to look forward to receiving the Packer Report for articles even though it was old news by the time I got it.
I used to have that mailed to me. When I was deployed overseas it would be over a month late. I also used to sneak into the communications tent and go on the official site and to some of the Wisconsin newspapers sites as well as something called the Rockport Lodge.
I signed on to X4 last year for the first time. I was looking for another nail.

I actually liked him, definitely my kind of guy.

By “Man” do you mean mankind in general or just one guy?
Touche.
All humankind.

That's just your joints in the morning.

It's a cookbook.
Cripes, I had to look up when I joined (after the Urinal went in the toilet). Two days ago it was 23 years! (March 3, 2000.) I just had a birthday not too long ago. Yes, folks, the QuietOne has reached the milestone age of 70.
Re: Gilbert Brown. A niece who used to waitress at the Pine Cone in Johnson Creek said that Gilbert would stop by once in a while. Friendly and gracious to everyone.
I think I tried a few other Packer sites back in the day, but they never caught on with me. I think it's because You Guys™ sure know how to entertain a person.
Excuse me while I go back into Lurk Mode.

Longest standing member.
I think we all agree that it feels like Fedya has been here for 30 years.

At the age of most here that could be measured in nano seconds.

Closing in on 21 years.

X4 crypt keeper.
Holy crap am I starting to feel old. I just hit my 24th anniversary last month.
I really enjoy the humor here and there is occasional great insight. I posted on a small packerboard for years ..and we devolved into sarcastic political arguments...which were so productive ( sarcasm face)...It got to the point where I couldn't stand it- --and I slowly migrated here.
I enjoy that political innuendo can be expressed, but greater political discussion gets the kibosh.
In January I met someone from Pittsburgh who is a times four fan---he was excommunicated for political statements, but still lurks---I didn't get his board name either
Very well put.
Think about it. I’m the biggest asshole here, but if I was at Rubechat, I’d be Ghandi.
Indira?
I know, I know, you’re all saying, “But Blair, Bong is the biggest asshole at x4.”
He’s having self-esteem issues right now and I’m helping in the only way I know how to.

I identify as either Ghandi.

Ghandi is a funny way of spelling Jaymo!

When I was deployed to the Gulf in Nov 1990 I wrote to the Packer report and ordered the draft guide because I was hot for the Packers to draft Brett Farve in spite of his crappy senior season. When I got my copy in april of 91 (Mail to the gulf was very slow) I had a handwritten note (thanking me for my service) from the mail room lady who sent my draft guide. Made my day and Ill never forget it
