• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

There are nine-year-olds on the forum. Which isn't a problem since surely there were nine-year-olds on the place when I joined. But it becomes a problem when you've been at TCoD for SO MANY YEARS (six in my case) that you do the math and realize these nine-year-olds would have been three years old when you joined TCoD.

Soon there will reach a point at which I have been at TCoD for more years than the people I'm talking to have been alive.

And I'm not even the oldest member! Anyone here been here for nine years or more that can already say they've been here for longer than some members have been alive?

Yeah I realized that right before I posted but didn't have a chance to go back and fix it so :x

As of next June though it'll be nine years old. Plus the site's existed for nine years, Butterfree can say she's owned it for longer than some visitors have existed!
 
You know you've been on tcod for a while when it'll be eight years in five days.
 
I dread the day when I tell someone, "You know, I've been posting on this here forum since before you were even born." I dunno, it just seems like a weird thing to boast about.

edit: seven years here, will be eight in a few months
 
Pff. I've already been writing Pokémon fanfiction since before they were born. >:/
 
I don't find that that strange, actually - most novels I've read were written before I was born.

I know I'm at TCoD too long when I get all socialist.
 
you know you've been on tcodf too long when every time you log in you feel irredeemably depressed and nothing will fix it

well that's not uncommon. But TQftL is an ongoing fanfic that was started ten years ago and still isn't finished. To be born during its run and being old enough to read it is more akin to being a fan of a book series that started before you were born and is still being written than reading a single novel written before your birth.
 
In a way, though, it's more interesting because you get to see all the little developments people make when writing. Like the way an author's brain works. That's a cool process to witness up close. But strange? Nah.
 
It was kind of weird figuring out lately that I'll have been a member for six years next month... but this happens every time I think about Neopets, so yeah. Sooooo nothing new to me.
 
You know you've been on here too long when your RL friends start shipping you with someone you frequently talk to on here...
 
you've know you've been at TCOD too long when you honest to god hate it but you just for the life of you cannot make yourself leave

(eight years and five months tomorrow)
 
You know you've been here too long when you look back at IF and want to smack yourself repeatedly in the face because of who you were when you were younger.

You know you've been at TCoD too long when you post about it on facebook, and people know what it is.

You know you've been at TCoD too long when major life milestones have been recorded on the site; like me getting my driver's permit.

*shiver*


It'll be seven years this Febuary, officially.
