How long have you been a member?

[Gullible]

A few days. Lurked and searched for quite awhile. Lots of value scattered here and there.

,2007 first forum I ever joined and still enjoy

 

[clinebarger]

Since 2020. I visited a few times before that when the site was still in the old format and then they switched to this and I liked it pretty well so I joined. I was also very bored during that time because work was slow because of the events at that time so I needed another automotive forum to be on with Garage Journal so here I am. I really enjoy it here. Hard to believe it’s been 5 years. Time really does fly.

Thought you would have 50,000+ posts by now

Since the days of ARX, German Castrol & Havoline love.

I was originally #113 or 117 before the crash. Can't remember what I ate for breakfast, so don't know which. Didn't rejoin until December of 02. There have been some really swell folks that have come and gone since, and I've learned several lifetime's worth of information here over the years. Gotta say, @pscholte was my kindred spirit as we both shared this weird obsession with GC (German Castrol) .

We can all see the join date of other members - right? So…

MyISAM tables didn't have row level locking. BITOG would stall when someone did a big query. We have used InnoDB tables for about a decade, which have row level locking, are much more robust, and more great features. Modern MySQL is ACID compliant and incredibly reliable. The switch to InnoDB was absolutely necessary because our database is very large now. I remember converting the tables from MyISAM to InnoDB on the live database, that was some serious puckering.

I have no idea what you said above, but thanks for your work in helping BITOG to be one of the better automotive sites on social media.

I joined based on a referral from the folks at Saabnet.com

And I was fortunate enough to enjoy that Green Elixir.

2009. NVA (No Value Added) for the most part. I stay because Liquimoly pays me to.

I was thinking the same thing.

I was a little baffled by the OP’s question, as the answer is on display for everyone.

It would be kind of cool to see a pic of all of us, maybe just temporarily............ or maybe not....... Yikes

I always think I'm kind of good looking.... till I see a pic of myself. I rarely look decent in pics.

I was here before the AutoRX wars, then got disgusted and left for many years. I think a lot of folks are like that, the date shown on the avatar is a resign.

Is that like the Clone Wars?

Let us know your previous username - we can combine the accounts, and let your “war record” be combined with the “new you”.

I used those old Edmunds boards...
