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!

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.
