The Watch Anniversary Thread

Yeah, 12 years is a tolerable amount of time.

16 is about right for me, actually, because I found the Watch not long after taking my current job, and I passed 16 years here in November.

Time on the previous board doesn't count.

I say this because I wasn't on the previous board. I wasn't on it because no one told me about it. If you don't tell people about it, then it's not a real board. If it's not a real board, it doesn't count.

You're right that EZ Board wasn't a "real board". It was a piece of crap, if you want to know the truth.

But it was *our* piece of crap.

Also, internet searches were a thing in 2000. I know this because that's how I found the Watch's first incarnation.

Absolutely. If you don't have champagne, drink Rhine.

But twelve years later don't say you were drinking champagne all that time!

Me too, although it was a few years later and the 2nd incarnation...

I was told about the Watch by a woman on another board I belonged to at the time.

no, and I just checked on the other boards to find the answer - and after all these years of hanging in, that board is now gone.

kind of a sad ending for a board that was very lively and fun in it's heyday.

( I searched the internet many times, and never found it. )

Thanks for that reminder of my incipient mortality.
