    Thinking about some of the members from the "old" site that no longer post here or never joined got me thinking. Life inevitably takes priority over internet forums, so it's not really that earth shattering when a longstanding member no longer posts. So what's the longest you've remained "active" on a forum for? We'll define active as logging in at least once a week and posting at least once every two weeks?

    I would say this is definitely the one forum I've been active with the longest. I was a member on TTORA from 2004 and sort of stopped regularly posting in 2007 once I sold my offroad truck and bought my daily driver Tacoma. That was the second longest, really.

    I'm a member of a few other forums that I frequent relatively regularly (PAFlyFish, DIY Chatroom, QDMA, Tacomaworld, Garagejournal, etc.), but I wouldn't say I'm regularly active.

    Member #7 in the house!!

    I'd say here. There were forums I was on before here for many years before (including that other one we all came from) but I don't visit them with any regularity anymore.

    Ive been a member on bodybuilding.com since 08 and m4carbine.net since 2010. I have not been on here too long but say I am sure I will be a member here for a while.

    Here, which is only a little over a year I think. This is also the only forum I've been a member of though.

    Here for sure. The only other forum ice really posted much on was the other place and I was a member from 2005-2008 when this place opened up. Though, I've been spending less time here as well. Most because of life and I don't get into the hunting threads as much as I used to. Kind of seen all the topics and don't care to participate in those same topics over and over.

    This has been my internet forum home the longest. I recently joined Raptorforum when I got my Raptor, but I haven't been all that active over there, mostly because I'm not riding due to mechanical issues.

    I have only been here since 2009, but its by far the longest I have been active on a forum. This is pretty much the only forum I'm active one these days.

    This site and lake-links for fishing are the only regular forum sites I visit. I recently joined one other called smoking meat forums because my wife gave me a smoker for a gift. But thats it, those 3.

    I have been a part of this forum's "community" the longest, meaning the other site, then made my way to here. So probably since around 2006ish.

    I've been an active member on another site since 2007 as well and have +25k posts.

    According to your criteria this would be it. But I've read a Badger football forum since 2004 quite often when in season. I don't post much just read.

    I think this is the only forum I've joined. So this wins by default.

    It is funny that I have "known" some of the posters here longer than my wife :lol:

    As long as you aren't as intimate with any of them as you are her then it's all good. :lol:

    The one that I have been apart of the longest is HDForums.com. That went to the wayside though the week after sturgis this year as I sold my Road King. Other than that one, I would have to say this is my new daily checker!!!!!

    I've been a member of Here and Bowsite about the same length, although I probably have 20-30x the posts here... Anymore though as Dan eluded to, I don't even visit the bowhunting page as much as it seems I've read it all by now (coupled with my fading interest in deer hunting in general)...

    I read online forums for tidbits on gear, hunting areas, hunting strategies, etc but don't post much for the most part outside of the water cooler here.

    Been here since '09.

    BassResource outlasts this place for me, but I hardly if ever post. I'm a member a few other places, but generally lurk and learn more than I contribute.

    This one for sure even though I've only been here a little over a year, and its really the only forum I've been on.
