6 Year Anniversary -- Original PCGS Forum Member Roll Call (edited to 8 years)

MrKelso

I lurked back then.

mozeppa

sounds like a "good ole boy club" to me!

pontiacinf

im still "in the house"

hey john stop bringing up hendrixcat, im sorry I ever offerd to help that POS

DHeath

Late in the year like Bear.

stockwiz

I only lurked back then. I joined during the time of rampant post count cheating in invisible threads, the testing and general collectibles forums. I spent years away from here since then only coming back recently.. all I've got to show for it is this undeserved post count. clw54 and littlewicher are the ones I remember the most from that era, along with tjennings and a few others.

goose3

I didn't bring him up!

Besides, you didn't do anything wrong.


I sincerely hope in the time that has passed that all of his teeth have either rotted so bad that he is in excruciating pain or that they have all fallen out and he has to employ the strategic use of white (possibly yellow) chiclets in their place.

MadMarty

I was a lurker in 2001, but didn't have the stones to post for almost a year!

Higashiyama

Well, OK, I think I should be allowed to submit my name for membership.

ricko

How does one know what 'number' one was when joining? Numobri cited that.. maybe it is not tracked any longer. I know one day I went to log in to the old forum and it sent me to the new one.. since that was Feb 2001, it had to be close to the start. Cheers, RickO

dragon

bear,


This thread was supposed to be for those who joined in early 2001, not for those who were born prior to 1891

mongoose

I was around before the switchover, but didn't create my new forum account in a timely manner. I'm still around though.

I was mongoose1199, registered 3 January of 2001. I pretty much lurked until the new forums.

GaCoinGuy

I was a few months behind, but probably have one of the lowest post totals from the 2001 crowd, but not the lowest, from what I see above.

6 months late..... with this name but my old acount was corrupted and I couldn't keep JGALT

Bear

I AM OLD..........I AM JUST NOT THAT OLD!

LUNETIST

Do not remember, lets see when it was!

Bear

The memory, is the second thing to go.

Coin Finder

I was a memeber of the boards before this in fact I think this is the third version.

garsmith

My original user name was from 2001, but it got bammed

greghansen

It hasn't always been pretty, but if you keep your head down and look for the pearls of wisdom, there is definately a lot to be learned here.

medonwon

I am not original but still in 01.
This is the first time I logged on since the OF went down.

Wonder why I edited this?
Could it be for spelling?

shirohniichan

Sheesh-- has it been 6 years?

I used to identify people by their avatars (and thus confused Crispy with BigAlan at times). I haven't changed mine.

We saw gmarguli, tjennings, redbird, lovedbygod97, flash, maccoin, and a number of others who are long gone (flash still shows up every now and then, though).

Schmitz7

I joined fairly early as well, but first as FullSteps (this account doesn't seem to work any more).

Tim Schmitz

clevegreg

I don't recall when I "joined", but I have been around since the beginning..I think lol.

I remember the old board, anyone else remember the PCGS coin auction site...I think they ran it. There used to be some other pretty good auction sites that folded as ebay became more popular.

Gotcha beat by a mile.

Slow starter, here, lurked from Feb 2001 until October, then finally created the account.

Still under (way under) 500 posts.

Thanks to all the Old Timers here for your information and wit.

DDR

Sorry Coin Trader, but I think I have you beat for the lowest amount of posts since 2001. (But I am reading all the time.)

grip

Feb 23, 2001.

A couple other once-active but missing (and missed!) members that come to mind - Spooly and MTABusrunner.

Ah good, an excuse to post here.

Look at your profile and your member number will probably be at the end of the line of information
on the address bar below. Yours is "125".



I found this place pretty late but I read the old boards and was even making a sort of "search engine"
for it using my favorites file. I feel like I'm an old timer even if I'm really a Johnny come lately.

cladking

You don't even have to click the profile; just put the cursor on it and it's the first bunch of numbers.

Doxtader

Still think the old boards were better.

SteveG

Hello everyone!

Wow, has it been 6 years? That means we are 6 years older as well. Jeese. I'm an '01 guy, but have to post to see when I joined...
Haven't been on for a while, but glad to see some old faces here.. BRdude, TomB, some guy that looks like a tree... !! My favorite thing going on in '01 was lovedbyGod(xx). Remember that??? LOL

mrcommem

I don't know when I joined.

mrcommem

spooly was/is great. always a friend to most everyone and rarely
flamed anyone. thats why i flipped when one tiime he did. i think he was serious too.

BRdude

Ahh yea, coin-cob, me and him were buds, remember?? And spooly, I still talk to him occasionally. Dang good to see grip respond, HEY AL!!! and Askari! He does still respond to emails, but it has been a while nd who could forget madeddie Her and the boyfriend she found stopped by my house years ago, what was his name>> Had 2 beautiful german sheppards...Shoot, I can't remember. Good folks though. She (madeddie) was on the open forum not long ago. Good to hear form ya Steve, been a while for sure.....

Bear

I don't know if the Forum was better back then.

It was just different. Had a lot of nice folks that

are missed. However, we also got a lot of nice folks

to replace those who left.

SteveG

Good to see you Kory! Yea, it's been a while since I have been on. Too busy to get on-line much anymore. Funny I stopped in tonight and saw this thead. Way Cool! Still collecting a coin1 type set. Got a way to go yet...

Got another best of '01 - Hendrixcat. Remember the chat room? LOL that was a DISTASTER!!

BRdude

Good deal steve, myst have had your ears burning or something.
Aquila-rose was madeddie's boyfriend.. Dam good guy. They stayed at my deercamp for a couple fo days before heading to NY I think, or Pa??
Who could forget hendrixcat and his bad teeth

RegistryCoin

I also cannot say if it were better back then or not, but I do remember this forum coming together later that year in an unprecedented way. The efforts and giving and camaraderie displayed in the days and weeks following the 9-11 tragedy was without previous equal, never before known or experienced, and unparalleled since. I hope that we never find an instance in the future where we are called upon as a group to duplicate those experiences and efforts, however, I know that if it were necessary, we would act with the same intensity of good conscience.
