The "joined" date in your profile is the "new board". Mine shows 2003 but I've been here since the nineties.
Same here along with a bunch of others. I got nervous signing up for the "new board" by about eight hours. I think it came (back) online around 5pm or 6pm EST on Jan 19th 2003 and I waited until I was sure it was for real early the next morning around 4am on Jan 20th. We all lost the previous posts and started with a clean slate (I think). I guess we're still having fun (on most of the forums ;)) as the time has really flown by.
