NEFF'S longest active member.

[dcabarle]

Anyone know who NEFF's longest participating member is?

What this means... The member signed up the most amount of years ago and still continues to contribute to the site. Anyone care to guess? Let's see who can name the 5 members who've been here the longest and still participate.

I'm not included. If you think you're one of the 5, keep quiet.

 

[Broadheadscreek]

My guess would be AndyB signed up 2002.

 

[golden beetle]

I don't think I'm one of the top five...

So here are a few names to add to the list...

Akskim. Future fanatic. Pete.

 

[WBDluver]

Andy B, Macfly,

 

[Trout Fever]

i would have to say caddis as he showed up the other day

 

[GARYB]

I know I'm up there, but I think it's Future Fanatic

 

[jcstikfish]

I signed on in '04 or '05.

OK, so I didn't know them all of the top of my head so I researched it.......
I think it's pretty close to being correct but my apologies to any old timer that I missed.

 

[CR]

Is Joe T still around?

 

[Future Fanatic]

i would have to say caddis as he showed up the other day

In my eyes, Caddis doesn't count.

I know people who have fished with him and from what I heard, he's a two-faced bastard.

 

[beeber]

My guess is DILLIGAS

 

[GARYB]

JoeT was around for a while back, same with old Fred but he was chased off
by the looneys. JoeT got me to use cdc bwo's way back and gave me a couple
of his spots.
I'd say AndyB is the oldest and still active with his wet fly tips.

 

[Johnw]

Wish JoeT and Fred were back - very knowledgeable and always helpful.

 

[quality time]

I miss rford the most.....nobody could make me laugh like he did.

 

[Future Fanatic]

And what about Willowhead? He could make me laugh. Granted most of the time he wasn't trying... I often wonder what the two most prolific posters on NEFF (willowhead had over 1600 posts in 3 months) would post to each other in threads...

Now THAT would make people laugh...

 

[Rusty Spinner]

I miss rford the most.....nobody could make me laugh like he did.

I bug Ralph from time to time to come back on.

 

[Future Fanatic]

I bug Ralph from time to time to come back on.

Why'd he leave?

 

[cingras53]

Who has been fly fishing the longest time? I started at age 9 in 1962. i know Dennis and Future weren't even a twinkle in their Father's eyes for at least 20 more years!

 

[Trout Fever]

So DC are we going to get an answer?

 

[dcabarle]

Caddis - came on 4/6/2002 when he originally set up the site. (He doesn't count)

njtrout - is in second place. He registered on 4.8.2002.
RobS - comes in 3rd with a whopping 8 posts. He's right on AK's trail.
Simon - 5 posts then bailed on us. WTF.
Tom S - 3 posts, no idea who he is.
Muddler - 10 posts, guess he got sick of all the company.
Dave B - 148 posts then I think Joe T chased him away.

The longest active member is, Brachycentrus. He registered on 1.13.2003 and is still active today. Now that's dedication!

Anyone care to see if they can guess 2nd and 3rd places?

 

[tomk6251]

Brachycentrus.

??? I must have missed his recent posts. Hahaha.

 

[Future Fanatic]

The longest active member is, Brachycentrus. He registered on 1.13.2003 and is still active today. Now that's dedication!

I demand a thorough reinvestigation into this matter!

 

[Trout Fever]

future fanatic say dec 2002

 

[Future Fanatic]

future fanatic say dec 2002

REALLY?!?

I had NO IDEA I've been here THAT long...

But... andyb has been around longer, I believe...

In FACT, he's been AROUND so long, he spells "tie" like Shakspeare did, "tye" (must have been a contemporary of his). So maybe he should be disqualified from the competition... Just puttin' that out there....

 

[Johnw]

Brachycentrus isn't the longest active member - at least one person has him beaten by eight months.

 

[dcabarle]

It's pretty obvious that something I clicked on last night was way off. I was thinking Andy B and Future Fanatic were both here before Brachy... So here is the new list:

Initial site setup was 1/7/2002.

I don't know how Brachycentrus got in there but let me start over.
The date on the left was the last time the user logged on. The date on the right is the sign up date.

I beg for your forgiveness ohh mighty ones.
