Wow indeed. @Flyer_PE and I were just discussing this over dinner yesterday evening on how veteran activity levels have slowed and how the board has changed over time.
I can't remember when I joined but I used to have the date Tom McKeon joined marked ony calendar.
God there have been some real winners over the years. I remember one guy who constantly bragged about his "top three" eng program. GTME I think. Good Lord what a piece of work.
Wow! Cement remembers correctly: I didn't join until after the fall 2006 exam. I knew about the site from the spamming on PPI, but I didn't want to look until after the exam was over. Then I turned into uberspammer.
