It has May 2004 under my avatar but I am sure it was 2002 when I first joined.
My son gave me his old laptop after I had a mini stroke.
I stumbled on HT on the Florida forum and the first person I "spoke" to was Alisonvilla.
It really was great fun in those days and I spent hours and hours on line until I started getting phone bills of nearly £200. I eventually got broadband and a new laptop.
I have met several members over the years,including Pat and have been in contact with Annette recently on a Knitting FB page.
I remember around May 29th 2005 when the most people on line at once was around 2,000.
I am now spending my holidays in the UK so dont do as much research but still pop on HT occasionally.
Happy Memories.
Count me in for the party, as long as it's after 5th November, as I'll be away until then. xx
I'm sure my joining date is wrong too, as I remember the ezboards, and agree with jay trip how we used to be on dial-up and worry about the phone bill, I'd write posts offline and then connect to post them etc., also if you stayed on too long, people trying to phone you up got angry, do you remember?
Thank goodness for broadband.
I do pop in but since I tend to go on holiday to the same places in Mallorca, Tenerirfe and lately Menorca, I don't often have anything useful to impart
I guess it's largely "been there done that" for a lot of people
As you say, thank goodness for broadband.
Wow, just looked at mine and I joined 18th August 2014!
I remember when there wasn't a webmaster around for ages and we'd all natter away, somewhere or other...was there a chat area? Or did we just chatter in any old place?

Nice to see a few of us still around. I'm in Tunisia at present enjoying the sunshine.:-)
I cant remember when I joined but I was on the ezee board
I am going to take a stab in the dark and say 5th of May 2004
OK that is what the date says under your avatar on your posts
You enjoy yourself out in the sun Aslemma, it is cold wet and dark here
I say :-
Hailstones the size of golf balls yesterday evening but back to sunshine today.
