Ok, well, then FU.

[Azula]

Some months.

Searched for information about Libya and found this site.

[Tomhet]

A few years I guess, I'm not very active here though because I'm usually quite busy..

[Aurora]

Since i was 14, i'm 20 now.

Good to see you back :)

[Jazzratt]

Five years. ABout two years too many if you ask me :lol:

[bietan jarrai]

Apparently since October, been posting only for a bit though.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

A year. I've spent many years on quite a few other forums though.

2000

[RedAnarchist]

I've been here since September 2003, when I was 17. I originally used the name xphile2868, then I changed it to Makhno, then to Red Anarchist and finally to RedAnarchist (I may be forgetting one as I did change it a few times over the years).

[Agent Ducky]

Since March 2011. So that makes *counts on fingers* 6 months. Revleft came up every time I searched for something communism-related so I lurked for a while and then joined once I was pretty sure I was a commie. :D

[Tifosi]

2009 is were it's at.

[MarxSchmarx]

Four years. I think I've earned a shout out to some of the ppl around` when i joined that were like big time posters here have been banished from this site since that time.

LZ.
BobKindles.
that one guy who had a major breakdown in OI became a reformist and his good bye thread got a mountain of response
tc
That swedish major technocrat guy dimention I think was his name
dr. mindbender
holden claufield
prairie fire
Rosa
she who shall not be named - I guess the newer generation knows not of which we oldtimers speak.
rakunin (i think they are still lurking?)

there was also this anarchist guy who had a line that said something like "Anarchsit without adjectives" and antagonized a ton of ppl who they agreed with on 98% of things.

Impressive how many of them were brits.

I guess a few other major posters got restricted/bannned too over the years. there were clowns that came and went, but there are posters who I guess over the years put stuff out there but in one way or another have decided to move on. sobering i guess some day someone will write this history

[Rusty Shackleford]

2 yearsish

[Red Future]

Nearly one year

[Jazzratt]

I've been here since September 2003, when I was 17. I originally used the name xphile2868, then I changed it to Makhno, then to Red Anarchist and finally to RedAnarchist (I may be forgetting one as I did change it a few times over the years). Weren't you ThisAnarchistKillsNazis (later TAKN) around the time I joined or have I got you confused with someone?

[The Man]

I've been here for a year and one month.

[F9]

too long...

btw welcome back organic, i remember you! :)

apathy maybe? coulda been Anarchist Freedom though

[Susurrus]

I made this account long before I actually started posting, which was sometime in June.

[Il Medico]

Around two and a half years.

[RedAnarchist]

Weren't you ThisAnarchistKillsNazis (later TAKN) around the time I joined or have I got you confused with someone?

Yes, that was one I had forgotten, actually.

[Ele'ill]

You all remember Bed Of Nails? Who was that?

[Quail]

I've only been here a year and a half. I haven't really been posting much lately though. I find there are phases where there are loads of really enjoyable threads to post in, and times where I just lurk and don't feel inspired to respond to anything.

[Aurora]

I vaguely remember Bed Of Nails, he had a weird avatar i think, maybe a spider or something i dunno.

[Pioneers_Violin]

Just a couple of months.

Aside from the fantastic learning resources, I like the debates and the people that aren't afraid to disagree or speak their mind.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Noob of 06 reppin here.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I've been on this board for as long as you have, Organic Revolution. Remember me? I remember you. :)

[The pizza crazed Anarchist]

I have been on this site for Six years, though for the most part I just read posts. I was 18 when I joined and now I am 24.

Man, with some of these threads on here, I don't know how he's able to contain some his rage for 6 years. Dedicated lurker in the shadows up in here.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

Not even a month.

[La Comédie Noire]

I've been here for awhile, although I'm more of a party hack than a heavy weight theoretician or intellectual. :lol:

I figure I'll just take the Stalin route. No one will have heard about me until one day no one will be able to shut the fuck up about me.

"Did you hear about that dastardly fiend Noire? One time he put every user in a horrible OI dungeon."

[Aurorus Ruber]

I actually joined a long time ago and posted a few times before forgetting about the website. It pretty much slide out of my mind for five years. But then I rediscovered it a few months ago while searching the web for Marxist analyses and had a flash of realization that I once had an account here.

[black magick hustla]

i almost have veteran status

[RedAnarchist]

There's 1,583 members who joined up before 2004 that haven't been banned - http://www.revleft.com/vb/memberlist.php?joindatebefore=2004-01-01&order=ASC&sort=username&pp=100. Probably less than half are still active.

[BIG BROTHER]

If my guess is correct since 2007 or 2008 so between 3 to 4 years, except I have been on and off.

I still recognize some old time users....does anyone remember me?:crying:

[Knight of Cydonia]

i remember you as well OR:) and i do remember TAKN, which now are an admin of this glorious forum thread: Chit-Chat. anyway, it has been 5 years now since the first time i join this forum board.

[RHIZOMES]

4 years. I post on this forum on and off, I think this is my 3rd of 4th return.

I was a fucking idiot when I joined.

You were an Islamist right?

It is amazing how many people from 2002-03-04 who became banned, even members who were highly regarded.

[bricolage]

about two years I think, because TAT asked me to.

[EvilRedGuy]

Look at my join date.

Toke a break for a year from this forum, i think. (That's including the lurking since 2008 though)

[RHIZOMES]

Yeah, mostly due to vague/crude anti-imperialist sympathies I had in high school rather than any cultural reason, I'm one of the whitest people I know (Scandinavian/Welsh, Lutheran/Anglican background).

I'm amazed that I'm not banned!

So many great users on these boards who have been banned for getting on the admin's bad side... Bobkindles, Holden Caulfield... and now KC!

[praxis1966]

I've been around long enough to remember just about everybody. You wanna talk about old skool? I joined before CotR and I remember Che Lives before there was even a forum associated with it. That's old skool.

[Fawkes]

5 1/2 years mothafuckas.



I was such a darsh when I first joined here.



Anyone remember LSD? and whatever happened to RevMarksMan?


edit: oh shit, chimx is back? watching him and jazzratt go at it used to be so entertaining.

also, bonus points for anyone that remembers what KC, bcbm, TC, NKOS, and BOZG stood for.

[Aurora]

Kayembii Communique, black coffee black metal, Tragic Clown, NewKindOfSoldier, BornOfZapatasGuns

check em ^^

RevMarksMan is unbanned, she just left i think.

Anyone remember NovelGentry and the Rebel Alliance? or how it used to be known ***********.org
Or the Maoist splinter site?

[Hiero]

Ha and now you have Bourdieu as your avatar. I can say I have become more Bourdieuian these last few months. I see how people emobdy the structures around them, especially thoose most dominated.


Anyone remember LSD? and whatever happened to RevMarksMan?


LSD was/is a big arrogant jerk. He never once said anything that was substantive. This is how he wrote

"Vanguard? The people do not need a vanugard, the people are quite capabale of thinking for themeselves".

And then people would be quoting and thanking him. He never knew what he was on about and all it took was CYM to take him to a Trotskyist meeting for him to wake up to himself. I swear VermontLeft was his troll account used to further inflate his own perception of popularity.

Do you remember Ernesto-Guevara.org forum? Do you remember how that started and how it finally collapsed?

[Aurora]

No i think that might have been before my time, do tell :)

I only remember that TC was TragicClown. :<

Bourdieu is my homeboy. His views on structure/agency and subject/object are so much more nuanced than most social theorists.

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

MUCH too long...

I first registered as el-zapatista, then I became The wise old bird (lol), then Fly Pan Ama and finally Fly Pan Dulce.

[Hiero]

No i think that might have been before my time, do tell :)

Back in the day revleft (then che-lives) restricted "Stalinists". So they left and made Ernesto-Guevara.org. It was a strange place, it just promoted a eclectic left authoritarian aesthetic. CYM and TAT used to troll the shit out of it. A member on here, I think his last name was Led Zepplin was in a web cam chat with the owner/admin of the website and somehow convinced him to masturbate on camera and then e-g forum just shut down.

So that is the story.

[Aurora]

haha shit i heard something about that, i used to chat with Led Zep so it was probably from him.
Thanks for sharing lol

[Le Libérer]

Was deboraaro in the day, came in a few months after you, I remember when you modded DYI. Good stuff back then, I modded the Che Guevara forum when it was a full forum, like 6 months after I got here.

Back then the mod of a forum named their replacement. Dhul Figar was an admin. D Day was modding the Che forum. So I PMed him with my "why should you be mod?" citing my real life activism, I won the spot. :D
Dhul and I are still very close outside the forum. Awesome guy.

[JazzRemington]

...Anyone remember LSD?...

I do (aka, Ace Iron Body).

ComradeRed is also an old-timer, but hasn't been here since a brief reappearance a few years ago.

[Matty_UK]

Must be about 6 years I guess, on and off, although I'm primarily a lurker.

[thefinalmarch]

When was Che-Lives actually founded? Edelweiss/Malte's join date is 2001, but a poster earlier in the thread said they joined in 2000?

Anyway, although no-one's interested, I've lurked since late 2009. Only made an account this year, coincidentally 3 months ago today. Basically most of what I know about Marxism came from reading the posts of experienced and intelligent revlefters.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Been on here for little over a year.

[ColonelCossack]

Lol i'm a n00b.

Been on since march of this year- so about 6 months.

I found the forum because I was looking for a hammer and sickle mouse pointer for my laptop. :rolleyes:

edit: oh no it was January- so more like 9 months.

[Sam_b]

Still not long enough to like most of you guys yet.

[Le Socialiste]

Less than a year (joined in February).

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Too long.

[Inti]

Was thinking about this site the other day, and checked if I still had my account here:) Have had quite some good laughs in here and met nice people in the good old days:) Will see if I can find any of them again:)

I think it says on the right that I have been here since 2003 or so:)

I think there's still a few members here who joined around 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006.

[Rafiq]

I came here exactly like a year and a month ago.

Back then things were much more interesting and stuff :/

Maybe it's a seasonal thing. Hopefully this Autumn things will be similar.

[thesadmafioso]

I guess a bit over a year, though I must say that if feels like longer.

[Sentinel]

I joined about 6 years ago and started posting actively a few months after that. I orientated towards the anarchist camp, and took influences from the technocrats as well. I did join the SAC, a syndicalist union, in real life in 2007 (I think) although I never was a very active member of it.

Last year political events here in Sweden got me to conclude that I needed to activate myself more, and that in combination with a desillusionment with the syndicalist ideology led me to do some serious rethinking and research. I ended up as a trotskyist and joined the swedish CWI last winter, of which I'm an active member these days.

I wish I could thank Hiero's post about LSD, as it was funny, although I still don't agree that he was a totally worthless poster. He was an 'armchair revolutionary' and perhaps that was also the logical conclusion of his politics -- or perhaps it was to become a social democrat reformist as he eventually did -- but he did make some valuable contributions too on certain subjects such as discrimination.

[Invader Zim]

Approaching nine years.

[Mala Tha Testa]

I stopped getting on for a while too. I'd get on and lurk once in a while, but whatever. I've been here too long in any case.

[BOZG]

Close enough to the truth but not exactly!

Now, who remembers who the original owner of E-G was? It wasn't Cheaten / Death as he was known back then (probably some others names that I've forgotten) or Jorge Miguel as was his name that he returned to these forums under! I assume he was banned or has he just changed name again?

Anyway, with the exception of Malte / Edelweiss, I believe Pastradamus is the only person who still posts here who registered before me. Though I just had a quick browse through the Member List and noticed that Moskitto, registered before both of us and once holder of the most posts, was active as recently as June 2011 though he hasn't posted since a single post in 2008 and then 2003 before that. There's also a few others oldies who have been known to disappear for a few years before returning and who would be older than both myself and Pa (Is he called that anymore? Do you remember when he was called that?) Some of them were posting in the early part of 2011 and last year.

[leftace53]

I think the side says 2007.
I'm a lurker for the most part, but I have my moments. Those moments are mainly in chit chat.
