I’m sure there are members who have been here longer than I have. I wonder how many are still active? I joined in September 2003!
 
15 years. It’s kind of crazy to think I’ve been here for almost 16 years, that’s half of my lifetime. I joined because I wanted to get a dynamic GT5 theme for PS3 then I got sucked into the GT/Forza talk.

@RogsR34UK You joined when I was like 8 years old. I bet it was completely different than now.
 
I just checked time of my original activation email which was Tuesday 13th October 2009, 01:25 so have been here for over 16 and a half years!
 
Misread the title as "how long have you been a murderer" and thought yeah, you're not catching me like that.
 
I'll be celebrating 12 years on this site in a few days. That's almost half my life at this point.

22 years, it’s a crazy amount of time and glad I spent it with all you reprobates.
 
16 years and a couple of weeks. Need 8 more years before I can say that I've been a member for the greater part of my life.
 
November 2010, I was pretty excited about that GT5 game (also May 2012 as a ForzaPlanet member :lol:).
 
I can't say I get the reference, but I am sure some old timers around here probably do.
 
Jan 13, 2007 and bought lifetime membership in 2008 I think.
 
Jan. 2005 so that makes it 21 years. I had stopped posting for maybe like 5 or 6 years and came back around the time GT7 was originally supposed to come out and it was like getting into a comfy pair of shoes.

Bow down before me... my account is almost 3 weeks older than yours.

Some of the super old accounts in this thread are pro lurkers.

WOW, I just looked, I've been a member since 2004. But I've been away for a long time and was amazed my account was still active when I came back, and that I remembered my password!!!

It sure is nice to be back.
 
I’ve clocked some miles, not sure how many, but enough that I probably need a filter change.
 
June 2001 - nearly 25 years on the forum (I'm the 18th registered member here), but i was also on the MSN GTP chat page for an unknown amount of time until Jordan created the forums.

I was still a teenager then (43 now), didn't have a car (got three now, two Skylines and a Note Nismo), didn't have a partner (been married since 2012 to my awesome gamer, car mad, sporty wife who's been nationally and world ranked in BMX), didn't have a house (owned a house for the past ten and a half years), didn't have a job (been employed at the same workplace now since 2012), didn't have kids (got two now, a four year old boy and two year old girl), and i had more hair, less weight, more time to game, and less knowledge of the world and how it works. 😅

There's been bad times too, but no point dwelling on all that as billions of people go through the same things.

I've also had my Gran Turismo website for 25 years, can't remember if i started it before or after i found GTPlanet though.

Love how this is still a friendly place, so many forums end up getting nasty and not nice places to be - keep it up Jordan!

It’s just occurred to me that I wasn’t even shaving regularly when I joined here. I was a bit of a late bloomer but that seems like I lifetime ago.

Time has made the details a little hazy, but i think you used go by the user name Mustang-man at GTSC. If that's the case then i found GTPlanet after seeing you post about it or reference it on GTSC, so i imagine they must have been started at a similar time.
 
Yep, that's my old name, which got changed to the current one when I realised where my obsession truly lay.

Ah, huh - that's interesting, but could well be true as i think i did advertise other sites on mine back then. Thanks for that. ☺️

Might have to have another crack at the Wayback machine.
