Congrats!  I remember when I first got here, it was XsPhat, BigPook, AShort, and iMav bucking each other's springs.  Oh, and Whiskey-In-The-Jar-O talking about "nekkid ALPS."

I think when Chloe, Sandy (through Chloe), CH_123, lowpoly (sofa king) and some of the others joined, it turned from being a place where you talk about cool keyboards we found to something more scientific and documentation-oriented.  There was kind of a "golden era" where we were getting a lot of info from the Asian sites through Sandy/Chloe and all the European enthusiasts (sixty, webwit, sofa king/lowpoly mainly) were bringing over their vintage Cherry knowledge.  IIRC, you showed up in the middle of all that. We had a lot of vintage connoisseurs back then, and for whatever reason they drive a lot of learning through the history of various switches/keyboards.

Then the OCNers came.

As much of a sausage-fest this place is, we had a lot of very good female members.  In fact, I think they were a lot better than the male members we have now.

Chloe, cchan/Tales, Ms. Keyboard, etc.

I wonder if there is a way to measure amount of active members.
