Are you a DC senior citizen

[Virus]

I want to see how long some of our active members have been involved in DC. Hopefully I am not the only senior DC citizen left.

The event list goes from newest to oldest. I was limited to only 10 options . I had to leave a few historical moments out and only go as far back as 1997. The only one that would not apply to TA members is the Mntsnow-Codybear-Socalgal option.

I'm not as old as I thought, the oldest event I can remember was Wild Cajun's switch from TA to SO (TIMO)

A mere babe in arms amongst these old fogies. Only been crunching since 9th Sep this year

To be honest I have only been here for a year so.... but I do reemember the 22hour contest as I had that included in my Flash Video for RC-64 if you remember that :P

CSC 56 was my first project. It was great with K6 CPUs!

I had my kid, T-47 playing in the first UT contest.

Dumped first rc5 blocks 908 days ago.

[Joel Kleppinger]

Actually, the 22 hour DES victory was DES III.
And yes, I do remember the real DES-II as it occurred right when I was first starting, some 1175 days ago. If I remember correctly, I didn't actually crunch any of those blocks because I started cracking a mere week or so after it occurred. It's also the only challenge that distributed.net has undertaken that it didn't win (although it's hard to call CSC a win ).

A major one you left off was when distributed.net didn't update stats for something like 6-9 months. If I'm not mistaken, it was during that time that you fired up the pproxy... to give us something to look at since d.net didn't. I could be wrong about that... I'm getting old and frail after all.

Anyway, keep cracking all. I just added a PIII something (I'm guessing 500 or 550... only had 10 minutes in front of it) and a Duron 800 over the weekend. I'm trying to sell some of my systems, though, so my rate will probably take a dip sometime in the future.

Started Dnet 1032 days ago i think it was on of the csc or des projects that i started on. I didn't have a computer on full time then so I lost interest but now i work at a small office and have a herd of about 15 or so full time computers and its loads of fun

I had SETI running about a 1.5 years ago and quit about 6 months ago. I was encouraged to try out RC5 by Randy48 and until the Dave fiasco I ran that. When the big search was on for a different DC program, I tried some others but finally settled with ECCP-109.

[Barney]

I started on RC5 a little over a year ago, I don't remember what event goes with that.

[Sloth]

Well because of this thread I had to go look at my DNet stats. Been a long time since I did that. 1313 days and counting. Still have a couple machines I can not get to. Can anyone top that?

Still remember what got me into it. Guy had a stupid cow button in his sig on Toms Hardware forums on Delphi. After looking at that thing for a couple months I clicked on it to see what it was.

Hmm, most of the options i don't know about.

I started with RC5 1.5 year ago.
I started generating stats, eh, wait a moment, eh almost 4 months ago.
And i started looking at TA and TIMO shortly after that

For a mark at that period: It was around the time TA and SO would like to go together.

Wait! Wait!
You could save one little one for UD Think!

Actually I thought this thread was looking for the Oldest Person running DC, and I knew I was a contender!

[Joel Kleppinger]

That's why I said "some."

Fact is, I've never dumped any of my testbeds so I still have a bunch of machines sitting around losing value. I'll probably end up keeping 4 or 5... and still installing the client on the ones I sell.

Besides, one day I'd like to drop the cash for a Dual Duron system so that will put me at +1.

The Mntsnow - Cobybear - Socalgal fiasco

hehe Well we thought it was a good idea at the time....

I remember joining up cracking RC5 when your OLD pproxy was going...

Props to Virus!

[Mntsnow]

Sheeze...I could only choose one option....I know almost all of them... #2 still gives me nightmares!

[Brydon]

I will have been doing DC for two years next month. Thats a long time running my boxes 24/7 but it is just so addictive.

[Jay]

Hmm, and I thought turning 30 last month made me feel old. Thanks Virus.
