I wanted to send a big thanks to the folks that run TUG and our awesome moderators. The information I continually find here proves to be very valuable to me. The stickies and search history of conversations have been a tremendous value. I really appreciate the effort that ya'll put in to provide us with this resource.

Also myself

I am on Tug at least daily...sometimes a couple of time a day....sometimes when I cannot sleep. :D

Tug has given me a community of such diversity....I am always learning something new on this forum.

At first it was to educate myself on timeshares...now I have just enough knowledge to know that what I own is just what I need...no more no less. That is itself is a pretty good achievement.

Now, I come here to learn a little bit about how the world is......I love the lounge.

I know that it takes a lot of effort to maintain this site and I am very grateful for those who work to that end. Thank you so very much.

Agreed!!! I joined Tug at 23 years old, and in the past ten years I have learned so much! Tug has impacted my life and my children's lives for the better. Thank you to everyone who makes it the great place it is! :wave:

Hmmm, that is interesting. My BBS date says April 2007, but we purchased and rescinded October 2005, and based on a great Tugger's recommendations and help, we purchased again the following spring, 2006.

pretty sure the oldest folks on here will show an 07ish registration date, as IIRC thats when we upgraded the forum to a new version and thus everyone had to re-register!

it truly is an amazing community of folks who want nothing more than to help each other and share information that results in such overwhelming financial savings...as well as stress relief!

Certainly hard to believe we have come so far in 23 years!

We switched from the old board running on UBB software to vBulletin software on June 6, 2005. It was not possible to carry the old user account information over so existing bbs users had to register as new users at that time. :doh:

There are a handful of staff members with registration dates earlier than that who registered on the early test versions of vBulletin before it was opened up to the public. As you can see from my registration date, I started working on vBulletin about a year before we "went live".
