3/3/2006 on this forum.
 
Before that, I was on the Cakewalk USENET newsgroups. There were several of them and I think I remained with those groups long after Cakewalk officially moved its forum to the Web. I didn't join here for a few years because I thought Web-based forums were cumbersome and clunky (they were at the time) and newsgroups were awesome (they were at the time).
 
But even though the Cakewalk newsgroups were more or less sponsored by Cakewalk, they were unmoderated--which is true for most newsgroups. Lack of moderation results typically results in a stew of great conversations, highly useful information, off-topic silliness, and a few holy wars. A few babbling idiots can gum up the whole works and it's almost impossible to stop them. An official Cakewalk representative could be unmercifully blasted by any jerk with a gripe.
 
Still, I miss those groups. For a long time, they remained a much better source of information and camaraderie than the Cakewalk-sponsored Web forum. I think they linger on today but they are only a skeleton of what they were.
 
And before that, Cakewalk (then Twelve Tone) sponsored a mailing list, which was also great. You could expect to have frequent contact with Greg Hendershott himself. You could tell this was a labor of love for him. It felt more like a club--just a bunch of weird crank hobbyists trying to make music with MIDI. The very first music I made for a TV commercial was probably sequenced in Cakewalk 3.0, so I could transfer the .MID file to my Kurzweil K2000, then take the K2000 to some studio and dump the audio into this new thing called ProTools. Ah, those were the days...
 
Still have the K2000, though.
 
I think I've always been KeithAdv but if not, I was some variation of my real name.

FYI, there was a CW forum before 2003, and I was on it.  They reorganized in '03, and it became this forum.  Not really very helpful.

No. It says it in the left margin on every post. This is a huge waste of time. 

While I also don't see the point, as like you, my thought was that this information is located in every post an individual makes, your comment that "this is a huge waste of time" did make me laugh a little.  Was it more of a waste of time than say reading the thread title, clicking on the thread, reading the OP's post, hitting the "Reply to message" button scrolling down to "Quote message" and then typing " No. It says it in the left margin on every post. This is a huge waste of time.", hitting the "Post message" button, and then coming back to the thread later and checking to see what others thought of your post ?

Seems to me a waste of time to respond to a thread you have no interest in - just saying. :) By the way, I don't consider it a waste of time, it's not like my time browsing these forums is what I would consider "productive" time.

I am indeed having a little laugh and intend no real slight - it's more one of those funny observations that make you go "Hmmmmm....."

As for my "Joined forum date" it's right there on the left hand side next to my little bear picture.

Why would this be fun?

Like Kevo I was QUITE SURPRIZED at how long I have been buying Cakewalk products! I know it's more than 12 years .......It doesn't SEEM like 112! LOL

Better still sort descending on the # of posts (it takes two clicks since the first click is ascending).

I have had Cakewalk/Sonar since it was on Windows 3.1.

Daryl1968 likes monkeys and kittens too.

but this time I created my final one and emailed it to myself. Yay. 

You wanna email to me as backup?

<<< I joined on whatever date it says over there.  I don't think I had any other user names here before that, but my memory is sorta fuzzy... 

What a stupid thread.
