I was a member here well before I went to Uni in 2002, so I think it must've been around 2000/2001 when I joined.
My favourite thing is the people I have met and the days and nights out I've had with them, as mentioned by The Gringo's the days out in Birmingham are a great example (do you guys remember the time in Leicester when Scotland beat Englnad in the 6 nations? Man was I hungover the next day!). My post on the thread regarding Caley Ally is a good example of some of the genuine friends I have made through this site and thier kindness / friendship. My first ever post resulted in an argument between IHE and me! We've got on well ever since! (I was even at his 60th birthday in Dumfries for the QOS game!! )
I met Roger (Govan Jaggie) via this site and we're now more likely to meet up for a Friday / Saturday night out than to go to an ICT game, again another example of a good friendship courtesy of CTO online!
Credit to Scotty, Don, etc. - some of the cr@p they've had to put up with I certainly wouldn't have, they've obviously more patience than me! (you miserable bunch of moaning, ungrateful, whining, negative cnuts...) <---How to make more friends on CTO!
