10 Years

Post by vash3g »

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.
Decisions are made by those who show up.
and possibly those willing to attend secret meetings in ancient basements

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

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. :)

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.

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...
