How long have you been visiting Survey Central?

About 2 years I went searching for the earliest survey that I voted on a while back and it was April 2000. I probably signed up around then.

Obsessively since April 1999.

About 5 years I think. I'd have to ask bill.

Aaargh! I missed you! I was doing a chemistry question and getting it wrong so I didn't check the chat-room!

1 year 11 months 18 days 13 hours and 33 minutes...or there about.

We started about the same time!

I have been around here pretty faithfully since the end of last December- so just about 3 months. It seemed longer to me though...

If you could have one of the following gifts or pieces of technology which would you
take?

If that was your first survey, it was created in November 1998. Were you a user for a while before you made your first survey? If not then that would put you at 4 years this coming November?

I don't know.

Since last Novemberish I think.

about six months faithfully

Less than 3 months faithfully.

Around August, 1998.

Between 3 and 6 months faithfully. I'm a certified SC addict.

um... a while. I'm really not sure. Not since it first started but not a vast time afterwards, either.

how did you find SC?

I was looking for surveys - as I had been sent spam by survey sites asking my opinion. I earned a five pound gift voucher for Amazon of one site who wanted my opinion on beer advertisments (which later started appearing on in mags and on the subway. So I typed surveys into google and came across this. Not earned any money yet although I have just spent $20.00.

I'd have to ask Bill to be sure, but I think it's between 3 and 5 FAITHFULLY!
I'm such a loser...

About a year and a half faithfully.

About four years on and off.

I remember my first survey. I had bill delete it. It was about "If some woman offered to have sex with you because her husband told her would you" or something like that, and of course this was pre-qual so I got seriously bashed for not being all inclusive. Atcually most of my early surveys were sent down the toilet by request.

Since sometime in 1999.

Faithfully three years I think. I came here to ask people what they thought about the upcoming millenium change (2000), so probably around October '99.

July '99, apparently.

Oh

That's OK. Do you know what would happen to my average in My Surveys selector if I had kept them? I'd probably be somewhere below 40%! Those early surveys sucked balls.

You care too much about ratings!
Stop that!

I can't help it. It's a sickness.

I've got your cure right here, boi!
*produces a large sharpened stick and waves it menacingly*

Your worth cannot be measured in survey ratings alone.....

probably more than 5 yrs on and off, how time flys!!!

I dunno- about 4 years maybe? how old is the site- I think it was within the first six months or so of it.

I suppose you're right.

1998-11-19 22:51:30

Less than 4 years.

November 19, 1998, 10:51 PM um, Eastern time or Grenwich time? I'm not sure.

Between 3 and five pretty faithfully... damn..

About 3.5 years now that I think about it...

About 2.5 years!

Spring of 98 maybe.

4 years

More than five years, off and on.

I can almost quote things you said years ago on my first survey or two. I had skulls en route to vegas in my aporic aquarium then. Your style, I notice, is refreshing; at once bold, heavy, and succinct, yet well rounded and good/light natured. Were you perhaps darker and sharper years earlier, or am I drawing too much from too little?

More sarchastic, perhaps. Since five-plus years ago...my perspective has changed considerably. I ought to go back and see. As it is, I used google's usenet archive to see what I was posting about during my college days; I'm glad I'm not that particular idiot anymore.

Good to hear. The gears always had interesting formations though.
