I don't believe I was around for that layout, but the font is familiar. (Aha, back when there were more than 1 clip per page :D)

I notice none of the "worst" have skull-ratings. You see? Bad-movies don't necessarily have to be bad :wink:

I joined in June of 2006.... I'm still a young 'un! And if you think my typing is incoherent NOW...hoo-boy! I had just learned how to use a computer a few months before.

I remember the site from that format, or at least it looks familiar.

I started browsing the site, reading reviews and such, in 1998 or 99.  I find the link on a college campus web page where I was teaching some night classes...I was browsing during "labs."   :teddyr:

I believe that the general layout changed to the "modern" version around 2000. 

The amusing thing to note there is the "coming attractions" that, ten years later, I still have not reviewed.  Ah, gotta keep plugging at it.

I joined in November of 2006, and this is where I learned how to use a computer, before then the only thing I used the computer for was finding images from my favorite movies, Badmovies.org kept coming up as a source and I realized that this is my kind of place. I really liked the old wav files, had a lot of fun with them.

I joined the site in 2003 (I think. And I still don't have 1000 posts  :bluesad:), though I had been reading the reviews quite a bit longer than that. That format, though, was before my time here.

I joined in January and I only discovered the site about 6 months before, so no, definitley not.

I've been lurking around the site since about 1999 or 2000.  I joined the site around 2002 or so if I'm not mistaken.

Now, this link bring back memories:

We got internet access in '98, so I imagine I've been around here at least that long --
During one of the format changes, my logon info got dropped & thus it only shows me with around 1000 posts, when it should easily be 3 or 4 times that many -- Actually, I lost my access several times, & had to have Andrew reassign me logons and passwords.  I really shouldn't be allowed near computers, but what can you do?

I had this site in my bookmarks for a long time (late90's). Usually  I would just check the new reviews. I think I joined the forum sometime in 2003.

I just did a search for my earliest posts and seems I've been hanging around here since at least July 2001. Funny, it seemed like longer.

We had a forum around 1999, if my memory serves me.  Unfortunately, one of the upgrades (back under Phorum) did not allow me to bring forward the posts, and I believe that was around 2001.

I'm one of the oldest, continuous posters, having posted my first post around July, 2000, but lordie, lordie, that was before my time.

I congratulate Andrew on changing his rating system. The current one is much easier to understand than the older one.

I joined on the forums on December 1st, 2006 but I had been checking out the site for a while before that.  I actually think that I hadn't noticed that a forum had been started on the site as I would just go to reviews first without looking at much else.

The forums on this site are much better than on Rotten Tomatoes.  Not nearly as many people on here comparatively speaking, but pretty much everybody on here actually has something interesting to say which usually isn't the case on RT.

I started reading the site sometime in 2000.   But I didn't post to the forum until much later.
