How long have you been here? - Page 5

lavaboy · 27th December 2019, 20:19

Good to see this board still around, hopefully for another 20 years. 2003. I come on once every two or three years it seems lol

gamewin1 · 1st March 2020, 10:45

I guess I only stuck with it for so long is because during the time I was running my own show, after I gave that up too, I slowly moved away from SHOUTcast.

Print · 4th February 2021, 03:51

Almost 20 years now it would seem... I was a kid.

ryan · 29th May 2021, 00:37

There are threads here older than me when I started coming here.

Smeggle · 4th October 2021, 20:39

nearly 20 years ... ...

White Raven · 5th October 2021, 00:38

oh god, too long

Mr Jones · 10th October 2021, 14:57

21 years, Christ ... longer than any relationship I care to remember.

Trauma !

Aminifu · 10th October 2021, 18:16

Only 10 years. I'm sorry I didn't participate in the discussions during Winamp's development heydays. I did a lot of lurking back then.

Warrior of the Light · 19th October 2021, 10:59

This account is old enough to drive a car and drink beer (not at the same time, mind you)

ChocolateAdventurouz · 1st November 2021, 19:28

I am a newborn in Winamp Forums lol.

I have been using Winamp, 5 years.

rtx4090 · 2nd November 2021, 18:58

I've been here for close to 20 years as well. Feels gr8 to have it back!

papadoc · 3rd November 2021, 20:13

20 years for me too.

iomegajaz · 3rd November 2021, 21:05

More than two thousand people joined here before I did.

Five hundred and sixty-six thousand have joined after.

Myhrddin · 4th November 2021, 00:42

Had to rejoin in '08 I think ..somethin' had happened to the accounts maybe.

Myhrddin · 20th November 2021, 21:03

Wait.. I'ma change my answer to two dollars and fifty-three cents.
...tha's better. ;-)

BEST answer.

SudenKapala · 4th December 2021, 20:32

Hello. I'm new here. And happily raising dead threads. Thread necro! But I think we can use some "resurrection" here? At least for wAmp itself...?

Anyway. Right here, I've been for all of 5 minutes.

But I got with the program rather early on. 1997. I am still the proud owner of a used v1.20.

I think that's the earliest Amp I actually used, but I can't be sure. I used 1v91 for a while, that I remember...

rtx4090 · 27th December 2021, 16:43

More the no. of users, more the chance of getting a new winamp reease. Ur welcome!

SudenKapala · 27th December 2021, 18:17

Thanks!

I was hoping for a more vibrant community. Seems it was quite lively, though, a while back! Perhaps it will be that again, some day; or perhaps it's just a temporary lull.

Myhrddin · 28th December 2021, 19:34

It definitely seems like they're actively working on a completely new Winamp already. With the fans of winamp who also write code today, I'm betting on something pretty amazing showing up before too long.

It was once common for me to type several long posts here every day and read 3-5 times as many full threads each day that I didn't post on. I spent soooo much time here, and then for some odd reason I've been pretty inactive the last few years.

deeder7001 · 11th January 2022, 19:57

The forums haven't been all that active in the last few years either. Not like it was before at least. I miss the pre social media days.

Myhrddin · 11th January 2022, 20:34

I finally found my docs of when I bought Winamp Pro .. Aug 21 2005.
Not sure how long I was using it before that.. anything much older is on drives removed from really old systems and would probably need a way to connect ide drives to even see what's on them.. or the older even.. mfm drives that are most-likely buried in my old "Archives" boxes.

I figure that it's still a great testament that it still makes brand new files I have gotten from HDTracks sound so good. And as I may have stated.. am really anxious to see what's cookin' behind that new homepage screen too.!!

Myhrddin · 11th January 2022, 20:36

ps .. that could also have been a subsequent purchase since I started getting licenses of things for clients back then as well.. but, won't easily find older dox as stated previously. So, just goin' with that for the moment. lol

Myhrddin · 12th January 2022, 02:56

Oh my Fraggle Rock... that's right.! I remember having AIM and the AOL client that ran right over DOS in GEOS. Those were the friggin' Bomb.! hehe
I don't think I'd touch an IM app these days though. Not the same Multiverse as back in those days. Though I do see some of ya sporting those add'l icons on your Avatars here..
*grins ... Thinking of being splat bonkers in those chat rooms for hours on end.

Reaper · 27th January 2022, 01:21

Hey look! A thread for old timers!

This year will make 20 years I've had an account here. It's probably my oldest active online account. I login every few years when I get nostalgic and miss the old days. I spent a lot of time here as a teenager doing tech support in Winamp Technical Support along side people like DJ Egg and chatting in GD. I credit this place for my career in IT and programming.

Anyone else remember the old IRC channels we used to have setup? So many good times were had in the times before Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and so on. Just plain ole text chat with a bunch of virtual strangers. I often wonder what happened to some of the people that used to hang out there. Some names I remember off the top of my head: Matt, nemesis, sawg, Bizznatch, SLK, s1138, cheezychops, will, DrO, Henry3k56, Twilightseer, sarge, oni, neko, pixiefied, missy, ryan.

If any of you old timers are still out there, message me. I'd love to catch up. Hope you're all doing well.

Bizz sometimes comes back to the bin, Sarge has been seen around.
If you want to talk to DrO , you can find him here -->https://getwacup.com/community/index.php

Warrior of the Light · 27th January 2022, 17:56

Funny thing is, I'm now just about twice the age of my account, which means that this stupid forum has been a part of me (and I of it) for half my life now

Dial up was the way to go and a permanent internet connection was for companies
Now, even my lightbulbs have an internet connection.

Myhrddin · 27th January 2022, 21:03

*laughing
Yep, now it's a catastrophe if the inet blinks out even for a few minutes because we've lost control of our homes and can ask midair for inane bits of useless info on the spur of the moment or what the temp is 20 times a day..
*chuckle chuckle
..and, yeah, I had not quite added up age when I discovered Winamp to now. YIKES.!

Myhrddin · 27th January 2022, 21:07

Oh frivel.. can't edit post.. shoulda been can't instead of can but, that's probably obvious from the context. We've all had to experience a world where grammar and spelling are not quite the same things anymore when people don't know then from than etc.

But, glad I've had Winamp running through all the various PC incarnations and Whenderz versions all this time too.!

It's hard to say if I've actually *been* here, but I distinctly remember mowing the lawn once or twice.

This thread is now only one year younger than I was when I joined here.

I went from angst ridden teenager to a father in that time. It's pretty crazy that this place is still going.
