As of November 21 my KGS account turned 10 years old. Its closing in on being a teenager.

I wonder who has older accounts out there besides wms. ckg turned 10 on Nov 25.

September 20, 2002, so we're pretty close in time.

I found 3 other accounts that are Nov 1, 2002 or earlier. Mine is younger, July 2003.

Man, I feel all young again. I hadn't even heard of Go until 2005

my kgs account is 2003, but my dgs account was in 2002

Hi,

24. March, 2004 -- I wonder how well I'd play if I hadn't have long gaps of not playing at all. Nevertheless, trying to change this now

Cheers,
Michael

I feel young again! Thanks

There are 672 active accounts that are at least 10 years old.

241 of those are at least 11 years old.

61 of those are at least 12 years old.

4 of those are at least 13 years old.

Of the 4 teenaged accounts, two are mine (wms and Admin). Let's see if you all can figure out who the other two are.

Are they in your picture?

One of them is John Tromp. Was he an early beta tester?

Yup! If I remember right, he was also the first admin. He retired from that position long ago.

Those two are younger, I think. :p

Hmm. ngarry is pretty old, but not old enough... This is a fun puzzle.

As I side note, in my search for a 13 year old player, a surprising number of accounts were created in 2004... I wonder if this has to do with Hikaru no Go...

dfan?

dfan had a very early account, but he let it expire. He has reopened the account several times, but his active account is from January 2010.

Keep looking!

My "goddess" account is April 23, 2000

Pretty old, but not old enough.

I don't really use it much, but I log into it periodically so it won't expire.

Buzzsaw plays all the go these days.

Terri

I found one from August 2, 1999.

Is that old enough?

That should be - who is it?


Ahh, account expiring. Mine would look a bit better - probably back to 2004-05, but again, without expiring, I wouldn't have the account I have now anyway. So hooray for the expiring!

That would be the last 13 year old account. I figured you might get it if you saw this thread.
