Sheep Murderer Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 So, I just casually poked around Nightly and realized that I joined here as a high school Freshman. I'm now in my early thirties. Now that I am feeling amazingly old, I am left wondering: When did you join Nightly? How badly do you want to nuke your old self from orbit?

Darth Krawlie Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Found it in 99 at 16 but didn't join for two more years. Honestly wish I could purge everything from before, say, 2012 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I first joined in July or August 1999, as an 18 year old straight out of high school. Lost that account and joined again in October 1999. Now I’m 41 and fortunately mostly kept out of Lando, so there isn’t as much terrible stuff from me.

Guest Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I was completely insufferable. Now I'm just partially so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Joined June 99. Was an insufferable 24 year old edgelord. Posted so much stuff that these days make me a little sick to my stomach. Am now 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Joined on 15 March 2006, but had been visiting nightly since before the release of ROTS without an account. Didn't post much. I had another account I posted mostly with from 2009 to a couple years ago. I closed that account, then pulled this account from mothball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A long time ago, and I would nuke everything… including the whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 October of 1999. I was 20 and a junior in college. My posts depicted me as only moderately insufferable, which is a drastic improvement over who I was in real life between the ages of 15-35.

Ms. Spam Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 2001 in April I joined because of the comics discussions. Stayed for the friendships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Don't know what month I joined but it was either 99 or 2000. I was 15 or 16. I'm 37 now. I didn't really come here for the majority of my 20s. I think curiosity bought me back in 2013 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 March of 2003. I was just a few months from turning 21 and already nurturing a devastating heartbreak. Things went pretty downhill from there. I'm 39 now, married to the man who broke my heart all those years ago and we have 2 kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Joined originally in March of 2000. A friend of mine in high school, Jedi Master Bryce, introduced me to the website. I came only for the videogames forum at the time. It was a fun time waster in our computer classes. It was nothing but arguments regarding if the N64 or PSX was better. Looking back on it now, YIKES. Gave no fucks about Star Wars at that time, had never watched a Star Wars movie in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Summer of '99 at first. Joined up again in Summer '05; I did so a couple more times in between, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalcedony Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 In August of 2001, I was a whopping 37 years old, so I was probably older than almost anyone here. But I was a Star Wars fan, had finally got a computer, and was looking for a message board where I could talk to other fans. Nightly was the first one I found. Tried a couple of others, but they didn't have the friendliness and fun of this place. I'm 57 now. Those 20 years have flown by, and all the people who were kids back then have kids of their own. I wonder if Nightly will be around long enough for THEM to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Virul Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Let's see. 2005. Smack dab in the middle between the Attack and the Revenge. I was Star Wars surfing the net and was pretty new to the larger internet. I had only been a member to one other online forum before Nightly and I was curious, although for a long time I stayed only within the Star Wars threads in Nightly. I was 22, had gotten out of the military the year previous, was working in a second-hand bookshop and trying to earn enough money to move out of my parent's house which I did next year. Currently 38, unemployed since January and living at my dad's place (mom passed away few years ago after long stint of health problems from kidneys to bloodpressure to heart condition) because my upstairs neighbour took a nap in their shower causing water damage to their own place and mine and there are no available apartments because of an uptick in construction (people from torn down buildings needing apartments and those new buildings being few years from being finished having apartments available). Sigh. Nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Nightly will be around long enough for THEM to join. Remember Richcelt and Angylkat? Remember when Angylkat was pregnant? Not that long ago, right? Their daughter started college in September. She’s as old now as most of us were when we joined. Silky and ES’s daughter was the same age, IIRC.
