How long have you been on this site?

Postby Skappola » Tue Dec 29, 2015 11:42 pm

In light of recent threads, I'm interested in how long everyone has been on this site. I'm mostly curious about whether the majority of members in NSG are long-time members or new people who somehow found this website.

I've been here since 2012 on a different account.

I know I've had nations in the past. I just can't remember how long ago, for how long and their names. So I see this nation as my official entry.
I do remember the whole Nationstates 2 debacle. So I must have been lurking at least 09

Since early 2011. I started my online life on another forum which went through the closing of the site (because the owner wasn't interested in the site anymore) and migration to a new site. That happened in 2009. After that the site entered a slow spiral of increasing inactivity and poster loss, which by 2011/2012 had turned into the site essentially being on lifesupport. It's practically dead now, which is why I "immigrated" to NS.
