15 years

I came to the startling realization today that I've been visiting this site for 15 years now. Maybe longer, honestly can't remember how long I lurked before creating an account. I think it'd be interesting to see some stats on active members by year they joined. Anyone remember what year FTE started? And what Ken is up to these days?

Several years ago, Ken sold FTE to Internet Brands.

jowilker, who posts mainly in the 1961/66 forum has been a member since 1999. There are several other active members that joined in 1999, but I cannot recall their user names.

Dennis joined the other site.
He was very sick for a while, then got better.
He passed away unexpectedly back in the spring
