How Long Have You Been Posting to the Forums?

Winkk — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:09:33 GMT

It's a slow day at work so I started reading some of the topics on the Forums. I usually just read what the topic is about and pay no attention to who posted. But, today I was paying attention to the posters and how many posts they have. Quite a few people have been here a long time with a lot of posts.

Does anyone know when this Forum was started? I joined in 2007 but did not become active until about a year ago. Now that I'm paying more attention it is interesting to learn the personalities of the posters and their thoughts on different subjects. In addition, I've picked up some good information along the way.

I usually check in once a day, look over the first page of threads and then go to Viewpoints. I wonder who the oldest poster is? (Not by age, by length of time on the Forum.)

9, almost 10 years.

I don't know who the oldest poster is. I think Topaz Gem was here when it was Shop Talk.

I started July 2001.

I did see a chatroom-type board on QVC before that. I was able to read what was written but I didn't know how to join in the chat. I just read and although I tried to post, it didn't work for me. Does anyone remember that?

About a year and a half posting. But, I talk a lot and like to post sillies. I think I read for a couple of years before I started.

Joined in 2006.

I didn't post right away.

Then one day I said something.

I think it was a QVC programming complaint.

I've been reading a lot too, always a little wary of posting my opinions. But, I've gotten more confident and have been doing a few posts when I thought my response would be helpful.

Correct, I've been here since Day 1. I think Lion is another poster who was here during the ShopTalk days. I'm trying to remember how I found out about these forums. Possibly the hosts mentioned it on air and I investigated. When ShopTalk first started, they also had a live chat as did HSN, but it didn't catch on like the forums did. Anyway, I have enjoyed my time here even with all the drama, LOL.

I think Magenta has been around for a long time too.

I know what you mean. I think some of that drama kept me away from posting sometimes. But, overall I enjoy it.

You can't always go by the number of posts. Some people stop participating for a while and then come back.

I wasn't here when it was Shop Talk, but soon afterward. I know I was using a "Prodigy" email address at the time and not sure how long they have been defunct and I think I had a "Compaq" computer that I got from QVC. It has been so long ago and I really don't pay attention that much about it.
