I was looking at people's profiles the other day and seeing when they first joined MFP. I see people from all over the place but majority are more recent users. This is what I expected, as people join and leave, and then come back, sometimes having to create new profiles if they forgot a user, password, etc.

So I want to know who has the oldest account?

    Alex and Nova are both 2012. Also have seen Stephen and Joeban who are 2016 and 2014 respectively.

    Also looked at the first posts on the forum, from the 2008 range, but wonder how many of those are still active.

    I had to go look, Sept 2010 is when I started. I met my goal and then got lazy and need to meet it again.

    Nice! Yeah, I feel you there, did the exact same thing. Flucuated quite a bit and am about 6 pounds from my goal. Keep at it!

    I had to go look too - joined May 2013 and a quick review shows me I have logged at least one thing every day.

    I saw a guy on another thread, I believe it was the suggestions forums that had a 2007 year that he joined. I think that takes the cake.

    I'm also March 2011. Although I didn't start using it regularly or coming on the forums until 2013-2014.

    I started back when MFP was still just a website.

    For some reason many people forget that MFP is indexed by Google and everything on the forums is searchable.

    Some members who had joined when Mike Lee was sole owner have new acccounts, so it's hard to determine via active accounts.
