That'll do, I guess. I am sick of people saying that I haven't been there for "as long as" they have and then implying, or even explicitly stating, that I couldn't know as much about EoFF's workings as they do. In fact, I've probably been here for longer than many veterans if you count number of hours logged in rather than number of months being a member. And I've reviewed the archives and even old non-archived threads rather carefully and spoken with the staff about many important issues related to the fora, so yeah, I would imagine I know the ropes pretty well. As far as I'm concerned, join dates are just a big load of crap, at least for the things certain people are using them as "evidence" for. All they're important for, in my opinion, is a small amount of personal information and a determinant of when you get your custom rank. That's it.

But Unne's right about how, if someone sticks around for an entire year and remains a dedicated poster, that shows, well, dedication. I know for a fact that I'm not going to be able to continue posting at the same rate at which I have been posting once the new school year starts, but that doesn't mean I'm going to disappear.
