ETA: Interestingly, there is no option to close a poll on JF (unlike on LJ). As of 3/10/13, 10:30 a.m. EST, this poll is closed. I can't stop you if you vote after that, but no votes will be counted after that point.

	I just checked my JF creation date and it's March 17, 2003, the day after F_W was created. So I have a question -- how many of us followed F_W here without missing a beat like the ~~lemmings~~ ~~she-wolves~~ hyenas we are? I'm not an addict. I can stop any time I wa-- ooooo, new wank! So shiny! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I just checked my creation date, because I couldn't remember when I started hanging out here. I started lurking around the time of the move, after being alerted via my LJ flist, but finally got an account the next January. And now I feel old. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	all accounts are numbered in the order they're created, it's next to your username in your profile. f_w is #2 (system is #1). I was lucky enough to be online when the info about JF came out and got a really low number (Reply to this)(Parent)

I've been watching and/or commenting since autumn '03, so I'm old. This account is newish. (I lost the keys to my old one.)

I remember the post-CW influx, anon commenting being a regular thing, former Big Name Wankas, etc. One interesting thing is tracking how fandom norms have involved. We used to have to remind people that we weren't the goddamn fandom police and that we were only here for the mock. But plenty of things that were wanks then wouldn't be now -- there's probably an abstruse point to be made about socializing out particularly awful behaviour, advancement of social justice issues in fandom, etc., but I'm too busy mourning the fact that The Countess didn't make the voting round.

	I came across f_w around the time I ran across the Cassandra Claire writeup on JF. I think I'm one of the last people who managed to get an account on JF through the free account creation option when they had it miraculously opened up for a while. Ever since then new people seem to have had to get accounts from other JFers. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I followed it since before I was old enough to be here--I applied for an official account on my birthday. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I didn't get here until June 5, 2003, but after that, yeah, pretty much without missing a beat. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)
