Ah, iPhone 4... That's the time when I was getting a lot of FaceTime calls from random numbers, which were all from my friends trying out FaceTime at an store
Mac Gamer’s Ledge (1997-2000ish), MacRumors 2008…. 😊What other Mac sites???
I kept running into this place when researching potential replacements for my (then dying) Pismo, in late 2003. Ended up with a 12" iBook G4.
After that I was lurking around the forums for a while, before registering in March 2004.

I first visited around 2005/6, not long after I’d picked up a Titanium G3 Laptop from a colleague.
It was very USA centric, and not long after, MacTalk Australia appeared, run by Decryption, and met my needs for around 3 years, before it was sold.
I came back, but it wasn’t until 2010 that I signed up, to actually ask something.

Sixteen years ago for me.
I used to get more upset at the trolls and the negativity. Happily, some years ago, a user shared that posting or reacting here at MR is much like voting. You share your opinion and then let that be that. It's helped me not to get too riled up.
I'm still not sure why I "hang out" here so much. I do appreciate my Apple products, and it's generally interesting to hear what's going on in the Apple sphere of influence. I think that perhaps it's been a "safe harbor" of news in a sense, compared to all the more volatile things happening in the world right now. I'm glad when I find decent folks here.

I dunno. Let me post and find out…
Looks like more than 17 years. I still try to check in almost every day.

Just spent probably 3 hrs of my today, trawling through posts and threads back in the 'noughties', using search terms relevant to me, and also wading through the thousands of members back then. Subsequently, I've edited this post, to reflect me joining in 2010.
Pretty sure the rules back then did not 'prohibit' more than one account, but being chased by 'the team', to merge all my accounts, seems harsh.

March of 2022, according to my account creation date. Though I've been reading for much longer. I had no real reason to join, I just thought since I'd been reading all this time I may as well. Glad I did!
It's surprising to realize how many forum members weren't even born yet when you registered for your account.
