How Long Have You Been Here?

My profile says that I have been a member of MyCouponer since 30 April 2004, I know that is so wrong, I have been here since 2000, I think.

How long has everyone else been here?

Another 1999 here -- back when the freebies flowed freely everywhere on the net. Ah, the good old days...I left when they closed the YFB. and came back two years ago when the Cafe started up.

I believe I have been here since '99. My profile states 2000, but there was some computer glitch that would not allow me to log on to my original MC name, so I had to create a new profile.

Nov 1999 although I did stop for about a year while I was in school. This was the first site I signed up at when I decided to start couponing. Wow that was a long time ago.

I'm 1999 too, but my profile says 2003? I remember the good old days too when I used to wait up until 3 or 4 AM just to log onto a site with a coupon code. That was back when I really needed to save $$ too.

Hey, have you always lived in Nanuet? I just noticed that. I grew up (my middle school and high school years) across the border in River Vale. Some of my best high school memories are associated with the Nanuet Mall!

I know I was here before the clover wars began, that's for sure. It's hard to believe it's as long as it's been, though.

I joined in 2000 but changed my profile name in 2007, it had my real name in it and that has become unsafe.

July of 1999. I just wish I was in a position to take advantage of more of those deals back then (wasn't at a permanent type of residence at the time).

1998 and then off and on over the years. Glitch at some point messed up my join date. I have a picture of myself holding my almost 11 year old son and looking at MyCoupons!

Wow, I just found out about The Cafe a couple days ago. I was doing a search for an old thread and found out about this forum. I haven't been here since YFB was closed down. This place emptied out like a ghost town, since the community spirit was gone. I was here back in 2000, during the Internet boom. But I have no Rep power since I've been gone. Glad to see there's a chat forum again.

I joined sometime in mid 2000, and even paid for the Lifetime Membership (2003? 2004?). But, I was gone for a few years and when I came back I was no longer in the system. I had to re-register, but I got to keep my old username. I don't remember the clover wars, so I may have been gone longer than I thought. (LOL) Anybody care to enlighten me on the clover wars?

looks like I signed up on Dec. 24th 2003. I can't believe I had nothing better to do on Christmas Eve than surf the web. Either I was shell-shocked by our expenses, or finding a way to not have to make conversation w/ the inlaws. Still not sure if that date is correct-seems like I joined two years earlier than that.

I've been here since 1998, but in 99 had to become a paid member, when we were promised more and exciting things! I go by this name for now on.

I do remember the year of freebies. I had 2 Christmas's thanks to beenz , mypoints, freeride and petsmart. I also had a room in my house full of boxes of everything! My animals ate for a year free. My UPS man came 2 times a day and my mailman hated me. lol

When the big craze was going on, I had a email from Gateway computers and that turned into a phone call. Next thing was photographer at my door from N.Y and a person to interview me on all my freebies. She got my name from MC. I still have the magazine with my pict and story in it. My kids loved it at the time. Actually my youngest now 17, gets that mag out and I cringe!..lol

I can't believe how many of us date back to pre-millennium times! Pretty cool.

I had a coupon friend from another board named Jana who told me about this site. I haven't seen her around here in years and years, but I'm so glad she directed me here.

I was a lurker forever, didn't come for a few years at all, then came back and started posting. I don't remember the Clover Wars either. I know I quit for a long time when the YFB died. How long was it before the Cafe opened? What fun would it be without such a board? I have always wondered why so many people that I liked got kicked off. I will always wonder about a few.

I think I came at the end of 2002 sometime in the Winter. I was working the graveyard shift at a call center with a woman who told me about it. I first only checked out the Freebies section every day. Then I started looking at the Cooking section then I started branching out. I love this part of the board best of the the Cafe!
